Jing-jang berry
- "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
Jing-jang berries were a type of berry edible by the Ewok species.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] a trio of the brown-furred individuals known as the Kagles served the fruit along with fried mahuga and tobo leaves 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
Jing-jang berries 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 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 jing-jang berries or any of the other foods he mentioned.
