"What about dinner? You were supposed to get something to eat."
"I did. The Kagles just made me tobo leaves, jing-jang berries, fried mahuga."
―Wicket Warrick and Teebo[1]

Tobo leaves were a type of food edible by the Ewok species.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] a trio of the brown-furred individuals known as the Kagles made and served tobo leaves, along with fried mahuga and jing-jang berries, to the Ewok Teebo while on the Forest Moon of Endor. Teebo later recounted the dinner's dishes to his friend, Wicket Warrick.[1]

Behind the scenes

Teebo holds a type of food.

Tobo leaves were mentioned in "Home is Where the Shrieks Are,"[1] the third episode in the second season of the animated television series Ewoks. The episode was written by Bob Carrau, and it premiered on September 20, 1986.[3] In the episode, after Teebo tells Wicket of three foods that the Kagles fed him, he holds up a small, orange sphere, indicating that that was all he had left from dinner. As the episode does not establish which of the foods the sphere is,[1] this article refrains from linking it with tobo leaves or any of the other foods he mentioned.
