Bantha fodder
- «Yoka to Bantha poodoo!» ("You're Bantha fodder!")
- ―Sebulba
Bantha fodder was a type of food eaten by banthas. The phrase "bantha fodder" was also used as an offensive term, as the substance smelled extremely foul. Alternatively, "poodoo"—"fodder" in Huttese—was used for the same purpose.
During the Jedi Civil War, Revan went to Tatooine to retrieve one of the Star Maps leading to the Star Forge. He used Bantha fodder acquired from the Tusken Raiders' enclave on Anchorhead to bait banthas toward a krayt dragon to lure it out. The krayt dragon then stepped into a large amount of land mines and was killed. Revan then went into its cave and took the Star Map.[2]
Teggi fungal root was one of the main ingredients of bantha fodder.[3]
Behind the scenes
"Bantha fodder" is a title awarded to the player who gets killed the most in a given battle in Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II.
In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Revan acquires bantha fodder, and tells Komad Fortuna, "Look, I have your fodder!", an in-joke, as it resembles "Luke, I am your father," a common misquote of Darth Vader's line "No, I am your father" from The Empire Strikes Back.
A common misconception is that "poodoo" refers to a bantha's feces.
