Burra fish were a species of fish native to the planet of Dathomir. Their flesh was edible to at least two near-human species, the Kiffar and the Dathomirians.[1] Fishing families on the planet Batuu cultivated the foreign Burra fish for consumption.[2]

In 19 BBY,[3] the Dathomirian Asajj Ventress and the Kiffar Quinlan Vos ate stew with burra fish during their time on Dathomir. Vos had killed the fish that day.[1] Latero captain Greez Dritus often made burra fish in his starship, the Stinger Mantis, which he described as poorly cooked.[4] Oven-roasted Burra Fish was a dish available for purchase at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu[5] during the war between the First Order and the Resistance[2] in 34 ABY.[6] Sometime between 34 ABY and 35 ABY,[7] Burra Fish Caviar and Tamarind-Glazed Burra Fish were sold on Chandrila Star Line's MPO-1400 Purgill-class star cruiser, the Halcyon.[8]

To have bigger burra fish to fry was slang that meant to have more important or more interesting things to do or attend to.[9] To be snared like burra in a trap was slang that could be said when someone was stuck, especially when in mud.[10]

Behind the scenes[]

Burra fish first appeared in the new Star Wars canon in the 2015 novel Dark Disciple, which was written by Christie Golden.[1] The species originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they first appeared in the 1994 novel The Courtship of Princess Leia, which was written by Dave Wolverton.[11] Closed captioning in the 2023 video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor erroneously misspells "burra" as "burrah."[12]

  2. 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has official backstory elements that, though not directly published for the public, are officially canon details that can be obtained verbally from cast members working in the land.
  3. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places "A Death on Utapau" and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith in 19 BBY. As Dark Disciple takes place between these two pieces of media according to StarWars Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link), Dark Disciple must also take place in 19 BBY.

  6. Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire begins concurrent with the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, then jumps four months ahead to the Resistance establishing its presence on Batuu, and concludes with an epilogue set several weeks later, when the First Order occupies the planet and the Battle of Batuu begins. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The Force Awakens and the Battle of Batuu to 34 ABY, everything within Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and any related tie-in media depicting the Battle of Batuu, or set between The Force Awakens and the battle, must also occur in 34 ABY.
  7. StarWars 31 Things We Learned in an Exclusive Preview of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser takes place between the events of Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens to 34 ABY. As The Last Jedi takes place immediately after the end of The Force Awakens, it must also take place in 34 ABY. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates The Rise of Skywalker to a year after the events of The Force Awakens. Thus, The Rise of Skywalker takes place in 35 ABY and Galactic Starcrusier takes place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.
