- "The classic! A grilled-to-perfection patty topped with all the fixin's—a slice of Gonzo yellow cheese, Revwien lettuce, topato slices, grilled Ojomian onions and B'omarr-style pickles."
- ―Dex's Diner menu, on the Coruscant slider
Revwien lettuce was a type of lettuce used in the Besalisk Dexter Jettster's restaurant, Dex's Diner, which was located on the planet Coruscant. The lettuce was used as an ingredient in a number of dishes[1] before the diner was destroyed during the first two years of the Galactic Empire's reign.[2]
Such meals included Jettster's Coruscant slider, a slider inspired by his time on the galactic capital; his Shawda Club and Besh-Leth-Trill sandwiches; and the Interstellar garden salad. The lettuce used in the last was grown in VegSatellites orbiting Coruscant. It shared its name with the Revwiens,[1] a species native to the planet Revyia.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- "I have a fondness for abandoned concepts, hence the inclusion of the donut droid as well as references to Revwiens, Adarians, apple slugs and even Kenner's Mongo Beefhead Tribesman."
- ―Gregory Walker
Revwien lettuce is mentioned in the 2009 Hyperspace-exclusive article "Dining at Dex's," written by Gregory Walker as an in-universe menu.[1] Walker mentioned Revwiens in the article due to his fondness for abandoned concepts;[4] the Revwiens were intended to appear in[5] the 1977 original trilogy film,[6] Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but the complexity of their costume forced the idea to be scrapped.[5]

- ↑ The Last of the Jedi: Underworld states that Dex's Diner was destroyed by the Galactic Empire, and The Essential Reader's Companion places Underworld around 18 BBY. Since The New Essential Chronology states that the Empire was formed in 19 BBY, Dex's Diner was destroyed in either 19 BBY or 18 BBY.
