More on Kat Saka
Like all of the characters who live and work on Batuu — Princess Leia’s spy, Vi Moradi, Rey and Kylo Ren from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Dok Ondar of Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, and, of course, Oga Garra of Oga’s Cantina — Kat Saka has a rich backstory.
Wookieepedia describes her as:
Kat Saka was a human female farmer from the Outer Rim planet Batuu known for collecting spices throughout the galaxy, which were used in the Outpost Mix, a colorful, grain-based snack food available at Kat Saka’s Kettle in Black Spire Outpost. Her family ran the Saka Homestead, which raised banthas and grew Surabat grain.
