==Behind the scenes==
Caf first canonically appeared in the 2014 novel A New Dawn, written by John Jackson Miller. Although coffee and caf had never been designated as the same thing in a narrative source at the time, Miller explained that he decided to use caf as a more exotic Star Wars equivalent of Coffea arabica. Later, the short stories "Blade Squadron" and "A Good Kiss" identified the two beverages as the same; unlike the Star Wars Legends continuity, where caf and coffee are two different beverages.Children of the Jedi
