Of all of the intriguing tales within the new Return of the Jedi anniversary anthology From a Sure Level of View, one revolving round Assault of the Clones’ premiere connoisseur institution proprietor Dexter Jettster was arguably probably the most intriguing to many when it was introduced. What was Dexter as much as through the authentic trilogy? It seems the reply was being very unhappy.
‘I Began a Yoda Fan Membership’
In a brand new excerpt from Adam Lance Garcia’s “The Veteran,” one of many 40 tales in Return of the Jedi: From a Sure Level of View posted to StarWars.com right this moment, we decide up with Dexter within the quick wake of the battle of Endor, because the world of Coruscant learns of the second Demise Star’s destruction. Nevertheless it seems that whereas the world round him rejoices within the hope of the Empire’s downfall, poor Dex has been having a usually depressing time after the prequels. He misses his expensive buddy Obi-Wan Kenobi (awww), he blames his personal intelligence in regards to the Kaminoan saberdart for beginning the Clone Battle and upending the galaxy (awww), however maybe the sharpest of knives in our chest?
Dex wasn’t certain whether or not the warrior had died on the entrance or through the Purge, although he prayed it was the previous. He couldn’t bear the considered his buddy being gunned down by his personal males. Dex might always remember how the Jedi Temple blazed within the evening, how the smoke billowed days after the fires have been quenched, how the air tasted of ash, and the way soot coated his diner for weeks, regardless of how often he and Wanda cleaned.
Almost a thousand years of peace, lowered to mud.
“It’ll be high quality, honey, you’ll see,” Wanda had mentioned, reminding him that droids not often noticed past their programming.
She broke down three years later.
He misplaced the diner quickly after.
They took his diner! They took his waitress droid! They took every thing from Dexter Jettster!
This isn’t the primary time Star Wars novels have taken a jokey prequels character after which given them a crushingly tragic life through the reign of the Empire, as a result of that’s apparently a factor that may have common prevalence within the Star Wars galaxy. Dexter’s scenario isn’t fairly “depressed clown considering your function in lending political energy to a secret Sith Lord” like Jar Jar’s ended up being, as a result of what’s. However nonetheless. Poor man. What’s a Star Wars prequel character gotta do to get a break within the galaxy far, distant?
