History
"Konkeel pie is highly toxic to humanoids. The Hewett senators apologized and removed it from their menu."

- Adi Gallia

The Hewett were native to the planet Hewett in a Mid Rim sector of the same name. In 34 BBY, an official banquet was held for Hewett the senators, which was attended by Jedi Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia. The menu included the dessert Konkeel pie, which was highly toxic to humanoids, with several people having died from consuming it. Master Jinn was about to eat some pie before Master Gallia stopped him, pointing out the dangers. With its toxicity brought to the attention, the Hewett removed the item from the menu and apologized to the Jedi. The next year, Jinn related the incident to his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, insisting that Gallia saved his life.
