Behind the scenes[]

Max's Flangth House made its first appearance, albeit unnamed, in "Epilogue: Whatever Became Of...?," a short story written by Kevin J. Anderson and published in the 1995 Tales from Jabba's Palace anthology.^[3] The restaurant was first named "Max's Flanth House" in "Who's Who in the Max Rebo Band," an article Rich Handley wrote for the sixty-seventh issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine,^[2] which was published on April 15, 2003.^[6] In 2008, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia went on to identify the restaurant as "Max's Flangth House," which is the spelling used for this article.^[1]

Max Rebo's entry in the original StarWars.com Databank^[5] and in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia state the restaurant was opened after the Galactic Civil War.^[7] The restaurant's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia entry clarifies that it was opened shortly after the Battle of Endor,^[1] which 2005's The New Essential Chronology dates to 4 ABY and before the Galactic Civil War's end.^[4] This article treats the restaurant's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia entry as correct with regard to the time period.
