Dexter Jettster was the owner of
Dex's Diner and
an superb explorer in his younger days. He was a good friend to
Jedi Knight
Obi-Wan
Kenobi. When Kenobi was looking for the person who tried to
assassinate senator
Padme Amidala, and killed
Zam Wesell, he came looking for
Dexter's help. Dexter told him to look on the planet
Kamino. He said this because he
knew the saberdart retrieved by Kenobi was a Kamino saberdart. On
one of his travels Dexter happened to run into the Polis Massans.
The Besalik was quite impressed with their ability to subdue
planetary life with the use of Kamino saberdarts.
Despite his
penchant for adventure, Dexter met an untimely fate. As the Clone
Wars ravaged even Coruscant, business at Dex's diner dwindled to a
fraction of what it had been during more peaceful times. Trying to
keep his little establishment from going under, Dexter decided to
try a delivery service. On the fateful day that Anakin Skywalker
turned to the Dark side of the Force and massacred all of the Jedi
in the Jedi Temple, Dexter was delivering a case of Bantha burgers
to the younglings who were on break waiting for Master Yoda to
return to teach them. He was unceremoneously shot in the back by a
clone trooper who mistook him for a four-armed Jedi from Tellas IV.
Though not shown on-screen, Obi-Wan Kenobi found the body of his
friend when he and Yoda returned to the Temple. He vowed revenge on
whoever committed such a heinous act.
