The Mandalorian Ch. 19’s Taxi Driver Drops Some Deep Cut Star Wars References – Looper

Both the Mysess Blossom and the Mantabog of Malastre have long been in the “Star Wars” franchise, but they have never been mentioned in any of the movies or shows, which makes them a particularly deep slice of “Star Wars” lore only accessible to those that have delved deep into supplemental materials and games.

The first, the Mysess Blossom, is actually from the now-defunct massive multiplayer game “Star Wars Galaxies.” Making its appearance in the second expansion of “Star Wars Galaxies,” called “Rage of the Wookiees,” the Mysess Blossom is actually indigenous to the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk and was a component in one of the major quest lines in the game. This multicolored plant was collected by whoever was playing the game and delivered to Chief Kerritamba, the local chief of the Wookiees who wished to heal a sacred tree.

Unfortunately, “Star Wars Galaxies” was shut down in December 2011, so unless somebody is willing to find a private server, the Mysess Blossom will only exist in lore (or as a display at the Skydome Botanical Gardens on Coruscant). Joking aside, the Mantabog of Malastre is also another esoteric reference and also drawn from a game.
