Pantoran Plate Specials


The Pantoran plate specials encompassed a selection of budget-friendly meals and dishes available at Dex's Diner, offering a more economical option compared to the diner's standard fare. The menu featured three distinct categories: breakfast specials, daily soup selections, and lunch specials. The name of these specials was derived from the Pantoran species.

Behind the scenes

The Pantoran plate specials are an allusion to the real-world concept of blue plate specials, as well as George Lucas's blue-skinned Pantoran character, Notluwiski Papanoida. Initially, these specials were intended to be called Wroonian plate specials, reflecting Papanoida's original species designation; however, this was altered following the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode Trespass, which established a retcon.
