Legend

amale Besalisk with a heavy-set body and four thick arms, Dex was a mechanic who worked for various oil-harvesting operations during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Note that Star Wars Gamer #10 indicates that Dexter was a member of the Ojum race. He developed a love for cooking during this time, although many of his fellow crewbeings wondered how much of "special recipes" were imbued with lubricants and oils found on the worksite. After spending many years as a smuggler and gunrunner, Dex retired to Coruscant, where he purchased Didi's Caf� from Didi Oddo when the previous owner retired. Dexter was introduced to Obi-Wan Kenobi at this time, and served as an invaluable source of information for the Jedi Knight. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Dexter first met Obi-Wan on the mining world of Ord Sigatt. Obi-Wan discovered that Dex could be an incredibly loyal friend, who would kill if necessary, as well as give his life for those beings he cared about.
