Javva the Hutt


Javva the Hutt, a coffee shop, can be found inside the San Francisco, California headquarters of Lucasfilm Ltd.. The name is derived from Jabba the Hutt, the villainous character from the studio's 1983 release, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. During the making of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Michael Smith, who worked at Javva the Hutt, provided coffee for the visual effects team at Industrial Light & Magic; both he and the shop received credit in the finished movie for "fueling" the team. The coffee shop is acknowledged once more in the following two movies in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, although Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith mistakenly refers to it as "Javva the Hut."
