Behind the scenes
Boontaspiced mustard was created for the 2009 StarWars.com Hyperspace article "Dining at Dex's," written by Gregory Walker as an in-universe menu.[1] Boontaspiced mustard is derived from Boontaspice, which appeared in the May 1996 novel Shadows of the Empire, written by Steve Perry.[6] The name "Boonta" references a planet originating in the 1980s animated television series Star Wars: Droids.[7]
