Flatcakes were a type of flat , round , and brown cake that could be prepared using a flatcake turner and served as a breakfast food . Flatcakes could be eaten by human s , Twi ' lek s , Suerton s , and Heptooinian s . History . Starship snack . Shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , a cafeteria servant droid stationed aboard an AA - 9 Coruscant freighter traveling from the planet s Coruscant to Naboo cooked flatcakes for the ship ' s passengers . While carrying four platters of flatcakes and flipping one of them , the droid shooed away the astromech droid R2 - D2 from the ship ' s food counter . In 11 BBY , the human Jedi - in - hiding Kanan Jarrus joked that he and the Twi ' lek pilot Hera Syndulla could order flatcakes while they were cramped together in the cargo hold of the transport Moonglow - 72 during a conflict on the planet Gorse . Time for Flatcakes . In 34 ABY , a racing fathier kept at the Canto Bight racetrack on the planet Cantonica was named " Time for Flatcakes . " When the trio of Suerton gamblers known as the Lucky Three and their Heptooinian friend Kaljach Sonmi arrived at the track looking to bet , they learned the fathier ' s name from the Canto Casino employee Joris . This prompted the Suerton Wodibin to claim it truly was always time for flatcakes , and a hungry Sonmi absentmindedly mumbled that he would like some flatcakes . The Suertons misunderstood Sonmi ' s meaning and purchased " Time for Flatcakes " for him , causing the trio and Sonmi to temporarily fall out . Wodibin , who had previously unsuccessfully tried to buy flatcakes during the late hours of the night in Canto Bight , later found a buffet at the Canto Casino serving some of what Sonmi considered the most delicious Trandoshani flatcake s in the galaxy and served himself a plate of flatcakes and sautéed fruit to eat . Before the Seurton could eat them all , he collided with the bartender Ganzer , causing the plate of food and a tray of drinks that Ganzer was carrying to spill all over the professional gambler Orisha Okum , who was playing a game of pazaak with Sonmi . The spill revealed an alterable pazaak card that Okum was using to cheat in the game , but Sonmi allowed her to play it anyway . The card then malfunctioned because of the spilled food and drink , causing Okum to lose the game . Behind the scenes . Flatcakes first appeared in the 2002 prequel trilogy film and were first named in the 2007 " Star Wars " Legends novel " Allegiance " , written by Timothy Zahn . The name was then brought into the new " Star Wars " canon by the novel " A New Dawn " , which was written by John Jackson Miller and released on September 2 , 2014 .
