Another Qui/Obi fanfic question: tea is ubiquitous in Jedi fanfic and especially in Qui/Obi fic. Does this have a canon/legends source (aside from Jude Watson’s 2005 Secrets of the Jedi), or is this a delightful innovation of fanon?
Okay, don’t quote me on this but as
far as I know its a mix of both canon and fanon because I think when
Tahl died in the Jedi apprentice series when Obi-Wan was still a
young padawan, Obi-Wan spent a full month brewing tea for Qui-Gon and
setting the cups quietly in front of him as a way to help him heal?
Just a constant presence of quiet
comfort?
But don’t quote me on this.
And after that I think the fan base
just picked up on those two adoring well brewed tea and using it as a
thing between them since well brewed tea is an artform and I know I
love a good cup myself.
Though maybe someone with more star
wars fandom tenure than me can answer this question better lol but
this is my understanding at least.
