Gesh's Tapcafe

Gesh's Tapcafe was a tapcafe in Jedha City on the moon Jedha. It was owned by Gesh, a descendant of Belloq, whose name the old cafe had previously shared when it was known as Bar Belloq and Cafe Belloq, with Bar Belloq still being written on the sign. In 1 BBY, it was bombed by insurgents targeting Imperial personnel, resulting in over a dozen deaths and multiple injuries. The establishment was then obliterated shortly after when the Galactic Empire destroyed all of Jedha City with the Death Star superweapon.Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
==Behind the scenes==
Gesh's Tapcafe was created for the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which was released on December 15, 2016. Prior to the film's release, it was revealed in the film's teaser trailer, which was posted on April 7, 2016. In the trailer, a shot shows a sign naming the bar as Bar Belloq in aurebesh; however, this shot did not make it into the final film where the establishment goes unnamed. Pablo Hidalgo gave the tapcafe's proper name for the first time in Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, a reference book released alongside the film. Hidalgo created the name in reference to the Decraniated that can be seen inside, who had been known as "Headless Gesihas" during production. Hidalgo later clarified that Gesh's Tapcafe was the establishment seen in the film and provided explanation for the alternate names, also calling the building Cafe Belloq, on Twitter on September 23, 2023.
