A bantha cheese hoagie was a kind of sandwich available for purchase at the Mos Eisley spaceport located on the desert planet of Tatooine. Bantha cheese was a key component of this culinary offering. Back in 0 BBY, the Imperial stormtrooper known as Buford procured a bantha cheese hoagie with the intention to eat it, but it was unfortunately lost to his commanding officer. Later, the sandwich was recovered, and he consumed it.
The bantha cheese hoagie was a lengthy sandwich that contained a mix of fillings, most notably green vegetables and bantha cheese, all nestled between slices of bread. Humans could eat it.
During 0 BBY, the Imperial stormtrooper Buford bought a bantha cheese hoagie while on a mission to acquire a new pair of socks for the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, with his fellow troopers Baljeet and Candace at the Mos Eisley spaceport on the desert planet Tatooine. The sandwich was held within a paper bag, which was later mistakenly handed over to Candace's commanding officer.
Shortly after, the commanding officer presented the paper bag to Vader on the Empire's Death Star, believing it contained the socks. The Sith was displeased by this error, and the officer was choked to death by Vader. The sandwich was then discarded, ending up in garbage masher 3263827. Soon after, the Imperial scientist Heinz Darthenshmirtz entered the garbage compactor and requested the dianoga Omi to retrieve objects Vader had touched, hoping to absorb Dark Force from them, including the bantha cheese hoagie. Darthenshmirtz subsequently dropped the sandwich during his altercation with the Platypus Perry, a Rebel Alliance agent.
In the end, Buford found his sandwich again on the floor of the Death Star and ate it without hesitation, even though it was damp from its journey through the dirty waters of the garbage compactor. He soon regretted his choice as he tried to escape the battle station, clutching his stomach.
