- "Give him any trouble and I'll melt you down into spittoons!"

Doodnik was a cantankerous four-armed being who owned and operated Doodnik's Café, a small dining establishment on Tyne's Horky. Doodnik's business wasn't profitable enough to allow him to hire a full-time staff, so he prepared many of the meals and drinks himself. Some time during the Galactic Civil War, Doodnik purchased the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 and put them to work waiting tables. Before the day was over, Doodnik disowned the droids for spilling drinks and causing disruptions in the diner.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Doodnik's weighty four-armed physiology, coupled with his Americana-style diner, was very reminiscent of the Besalisk known as Dexter Jettster and his Coruscant-based diner, as seen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Sound engineer, Ben Burtt, a writer on the Star Wars: Droids animated series provided insight into the design of Dex's Diner to establish a feeling of consistency between the movie and the cartoon.
