Sap was a multihued fluid substance produced by certain trees throughout the galaxy. It could be processed into various products, such as food ingredients and other miscellaneous compound. When exposed to an open environment, some saps hardened and solidified.

In his youth, Holshef worked as a sap collector and collected greel-wood sap, which was then processed into greel-wood syrup. Another type of sap was produced by Tenoo trees, which the Latero chef Hap often used it as an ingredient for his sap beverages or be eaten as candy when hardened. Sap was a material in the Nightsisters' Water of Life.

History

High Republic era

Around 233 BBY,^[8] during the heights of the Jedi Order; a cafe in the town of Kublop Springs, Hap's Sap Tap, served various beverages based on saps.^[7] The proprietary of the establishment, Hap, often invented his own twist on sap beverages.^[9] When the adventurer Maz Kanata visited Tenoo, she got stuck in a massive pool of sap while trying to retrieve her broken jetpack. The Chadra-Fan Marlaa Jinara then rescued Kanata as she started to sink deeper into the sap.^[6]

In 228 BBY,^[10] a Duros commander of the science outpost on Felne 6 informed the Jedi Knights Bell Zettifar and Burryaga Agaburry, who visited the moon to investigate reports of a Drengir sighting, to avoid physical contact with the poisonous saps produced by the strik weeds.^[1]

Clone Wars

During the Clone Wars, in 20 BBY;^[11] a clan of Nightsisters led by Mother Talzin concocted the healing potion, Water of Life,^[12] which used saps as one of its ingredients.^[13] They offered the liquid to baptize Asajj Ventress into a Nightsister.^[12]

Imperial era

In 14 BBY,^[14] during the reign of the Galactic Empire; the planet Kashyyyk was under Imperial occupation. They had built a sap refinery within its forests. The Partisans leader Saw Gerrera suspected that the refinery turned the saps into a powerful compound. On his way to help liberate the Wookiees, the Jedi Cal Kestis explored the facility, seeing pools of sap collected from the wroshyr tree being mixed and processed.^[2]

The human Holshef was a sap collector who gathered saps of the greel-wood trees on the planet Lothal. He used the saps to be turned into greel-wood syrups.^[3] However, by 4 ABY,^[15] he had become an artist and a poet, using his talent to express his disdain against the Empire.^[3]
