Jira/Legends

Jira was a poor, kind old woman who ran a food stand in the Mos Espa marketplace on Tatooine. Among the foods she sold were tasty treats called pallies.

Jira depended on a cooling unit to keep her foods fresh, especially in the Tatooine humidity. When she suffered from a broken cooling unit, it was Anakin Skywalker who came to rescue by finding another for her.

She was known for telling the tale of the mysterious wandering "Nobot" to those with two peggats to spare.

Her final fate remains unknown, but she was most likely dead by the time of the Galactic Civil War.
