Legend

a chef who worked for Jabba the Hutt in the Court of the Fountain restaurant. He was probably most famous for his fried beignets, although Porcellus took great pride in other parts of his ever-changing menu. It also kept him alive, for Jabba was always wanting to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Porcellus was told by Jabba that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When he was later released by Malakili, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant.
