Revwien lettuce


Revwien lettuce was a particular type of lettuce that was utilized within Dexter Jettster's restaurant, Dex's Diner, owned by a Besalisk, which was situated upon the planet of Coruscant. This lettuce variety served as an ingredient in multiple food items prior to the diner's destruction within the initial couple of years of the Galactic Empire's rule.

These dishes included Jettster's Coruscant slider, a slider that drew inspiration from his time spent on the galactic capital; his Shawda Club along with Besh-Leth-Trill sandwiches; and also the Interstellar garden salad. The lettuce featured within the salad was cultivated in VegSatellites orbiting Coruscant. It shared a name with the Revwiens, a species indigenous to the planet Revyia.

Behind the scenes

The 2009 Hyperspace-exclusive article "Dining at Dex's," penned by Gregory Walker and presented as an in-universe menu, mentions Revwien lettuce. Walker's inclusion of Revwiens in the piece stemmed from his affinity for discarded concepts; the Revwiens were originally intended for inclusion within the 1977 original trilogy movie, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but the intricacy of their costumes led to the abandonment of the idea.
