The Crumb Bomber^[4] was a Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunship used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The ship's nose was decorated with art of a Kowakian monkey-lizard holding a missile and the aurebesh text "laugh this off".

HistoryEdit

The Crumb Bomber saw action during the battle of Teth^[1] and was later stationed on the Venator-class Star Destroyer Resolute during the hunt for the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence.^[5] The Crumb Bomber also rescued the clone survivors of the battle of the Rishi moon^[2] and participated in the Battle of Ryloth.^[3]

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, a cantina on the planet Lothal known as Old Jho's Pit Stop displayed the remains of a Low Altitude Assault Transport with the same nose art as the Crumb Bomber, which the cantina's owner Jho claimed was the authentic remains of the Clone Wars era ship.^[6] Several decades later, the Kowakian monkey-lizard art logo could still be found decorating the wall of Aunt Z's tavern.^[7]

Behind the scenesEdit

The Crumb Bomber was created for the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and first appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, in 2008.^[1] It was reintroduced in 2014 in the series Star Wars: Rebels, as the remains of the gunship decorated the front of Old Jho's Pit Shop.^[6] In 2018, ten years after the ship appeared on screen for the first time, attentive viewers would be rewarded with a second easter egg: the logo art could be spotted on the wall of Aunt Z's tavern in the series Star Wars: Resistance.^[7]
