Alright here's the uneventful Kat's Kettle (empty as usual).
And for comparison here's how it looked like in concept art.
Kat's Kettle is a small popcorn stand in a burrow on Merchan't Row where the rest of the lackluster shit stores are. I explained what Merchan't Row is a few pages back (probably around page 530) and if you just got here and want to know everything about this park, my info dumps start at page 500 (one thing I didn't mention then is that Merchan't Row is named after a location from the SW Bounty Hunter video game). Anyway, according to park lore, this little stand is run by by a "being" (they never clarify if its alien, human or wtf) called Kat Saka who park lore says is a farmer on Batuu who goes across the galaxy collecting the most valuable spices (which includes cooking spices and "Spice" aka space cocaine) from across the galaxy to make his special "Outpost Mix" aka candied popcorn, with the spice giving it its unique colors, so make sure to get a bag of cocaine popcorn! But like many of the other merchants in the park, Kat Saka doesn't actually exist, and is only mentioned briefly by its employees who claim that Kat is "hiding out of fear of the First Order", probably because they'll confiscate hisspace cocaine spice. But enough of that shit.
The candy caramel popcorn is a mixture of "sweet and spicy" flavors in a cheap paper bag and costs $6.49 a bag (with heavy tax obviously).
The popcorn is held in two large "oven" tanks called spicers or something as seen below in the empty store.
Sign says "Caution: Hot Surface" in aurebesh.
Here's a full view of the tanks.
They claim the designs of the tanks are made to look like 50s-style vending machines as according to park lore, Kat was very fond of Dexter's Diner on Coruscant so he got them from him. I would've rather had the diner, but whatever...
Here's another pic of the empty store.
Only times it was full or even had decent lines was during the reservation period and the public opening day.
Here is the "main attraction" of the store, which are these plastic MSE droid popcorn holders which your kids can pull around via a strap (except that's not allowed, much like how you're not allowed to use your remote controlled droids in the park despite them having in-park functionality).
Their side opens up so as to place popcorn inside and it was these little buggers who were the main reason the store got any attention at all, since they were cute and only cost 20 dollars compared to the shitty 200 dollar droids at the Droid Depot. However its only one per guest and these things have been sold out since the reservation period and its probably why no one buys this shitty popcorn anymore. Also there's even more bullshit regarding this which I will get to in a moment with the menu.
And here's the menu (please ignore the warning sign saying their food and drinks will give you cancer and cause birth defects).
This is what the menu looked like on opening day, and please note that one of the items was already sold out (never sold to begin with). That being Rishi Corn, which was a food item from Dex's Diner that was listed in an online article in 2009, so I assume this was a cancelled food item that was gonna be like corn on a stick. It would've cost $6.49.
And here is what the menu looks like now and has looked for quite some time.
As you can see, the MSE droid sign has been replaced with a scribbled out one and is completely out of stock like most other things at the park. Do they plan to restock them? I doubt it. Also listed is coke, diet coke and sprite at $4.99 each, however everyone is only limited to 3 per guest. Dasani water is also available at $3.99 in unlimited numbers due to coming in a cheaper bottle than the other three. If you want details on these scammy sodas, I posted info on them around page 540 I think (in short, they're just the plastic Christmas ornament bottles recycled from Christmas events but given a cheap label to make them look like they're metal and they are also now part of SW Disney canon due to a deal with Coke).
Also here's a pic of the Dasani bottle as I've never posted it before (aside from an incomplete picture above).
Its written in stylized aurebesh but they fucked up the S.
Since there's nothing else of note worth talking about, I might as well talk about the minor little easter eggs in this store. Here are some pics of the "kitchen" and "storage".
As seen here, there are a few vegetables, fruits and spices from the old EU and the DisneyEU. In the back there is a bag labeled "yarum seeds" in aurebesh which were part of Yoda's diet on Dagobah and were the main ingredient in the gross Rootleaf Stew he made for Luke. The contents of the three bags with the odd symbol on the top right corner is Spice aka space cocaine and the odd symbol on it is the symbol Kat's store, however they way it looks on the bag makes it loosely resembles the symbol of the Journeyman Protectors which were the police force of the Outer Rim planet Concord Dawn in old lore. So I guess Kat Saka is stealing confiscated bags of crack from the police? The red and blue ingredients are sohli bark and cyanoberries which were from Dagobah and also used in Yoda's stew. The little leaves are rootleaves which were also from Dagobah and Yoda's stew, which is odd since this store doesn't make Yoda's rootleaf stew despite having all the ingredients (and there are some neat and healthy irl recipes for it that actually make it tasty and could be served at the park). The grass is "Swamp weed" which is the name given to the hanging grass in Yoda's hut in the Disney EU and is the only ingredient in Yoda's stew in Disney canon. Overall it seems all the ingredients hanging here are from Yoda's hut.
Here's some pictures of some crates.
Here is a pic from behind the counter.
As seen here are there are some tools, the hanging bags contain salt, a bucket of mushrooms, there's two hollowed out mouse droids containing green and (classic) orange space cocaine and lots of jars containing spice/space cocaine of different colors. The orange spice was the most common form of spice in old lore with variants such as "Giggledust" and "Sansanna". The blue one is "Booster Blue" and the green one is "Ryll" from Ryloth.
Overall, there's little to no reception or reviews on this shit, and what little there is of it is mostly mixed, with the only positive or 5-Star reviews coming from people who actually got the MSE droid popcorn holder.
