A temporal loop or time loop was a rare phenomenon in which time ran normally for a set period, but then skipped back like a broken record. When the loop reset, most of the victim's memories were reset, yet sometimes the victim would become aware of the loop through deja vu. Dash Rendar thought he was trapped in a temporal loop in 2 BBY, when he looked over his shoulder in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina to spy Han Solo in the same booth he'd found him days before. He closed his eyes, feeling a sense of deja vu or ceno-ka as the Equani referred to it. He thought this might be happening, or that he could no longer hold his liquor, or that he had slipped into a temporal loop, destined to live the rest of his life in Chalmun's.
