Did you know that Dexter Jettster, the diner owner from Coruscant, once dated Maz Kanata, the pirate queen?
It’s amusing how Star Wars even explains this quirky part of the lore. Here are the details from the Star Wars canon.
The Love Story Unveils in Star Wars: The Smuggler’s Guide
Star Wars: Smuggler’s Guide is a canon reference book written by Daniel Wallace, released on November 13, 2018.
This guide traces its extraordinary journey through the lives of infamous characters such as Maz Kanata, Hondo Ohnaka, Dryden Vos, Lando Calrissian, and Han Solo. It delves into previously unknown details about the shady dealings of the galaxy’s underworld.
But we won’t focus on the others; instead, we’ll explore the intriguing relationship between Dexter Jettster and Maz Kanata.
One of the pages in the book reveals this love story much like a diary entry from Dexter Jettster.
It reads, “Well, what do you know! Maz Kanata. That does me good, seeing that name again. Wasn’t so long ago that I called myself her boyfriend.”
From these first few lines, we can see that they were indeed dating.
Maz Kanata even gave her ex-boyfriend a nickname, “Dexi Jet,” as noted in the book: “Four-armed massage was my specialty! I’ve still got her letters inside an old ammo box. Dexi Jet is what she called me. Still warms my heart.”
From StarWars.fandom, we know that Dexter Jettster used to be part of Maz Kanata’s pirate crew. So, it’s possible that while Dexter was a crew member, they were dating during that time.
