"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[1]

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[4]

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]
