Legend

this chubby, diminutive man owned a cafe in the Senate District of the planet Coruscant, several years before the Battle of Naboo. He maintained the caf� with the help of his daugther, Astri. A likeable character, Didi had contacts in all levels of society, and was a close friend and informant to the Jedi Knights of the era. For many years, that was all the kept Didi going, since the food at the caf� was less than appealing. Didi accepted Astri's help in improving the food and the atmosphere. He was caught up in the events surrounding the death of his friend, Fligh, and the appearance of a strange and dangerous Sorrusian bounty hunter who tried to kill him. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to help Did and Astri remain safe, including moving them to Duneeden temporarily. Didi had won a small place in the Cascardi Mountains in a sabacc match with Helb, so they decided to hole up there. However, the bounty hunter trailed them to Duneeden, and nearly succeeded in eliminating the Oddos. If Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hadn't traveled to Duneeden themselves, Didi might have been killed instead of badly injured by the Sorrusian. Didi, however, sustained a wound which was laced with a poison engineered by Arbor Industries, and was only saved when Astri and Obi-Wan infiltrated Jenna Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12 and stole the antidote. Didi returned to Coruscant and reopened his caf�, with the help of Fligh and Astri. After many successful years, Didi retired when Astri married Bog Divinian and moved to the Outer Rim world of Nuralee. They sold the caf� to Dexter Jettster, who maintained it for many years. Did himself spent much of his retirement looking after his grandson, Lune Divinian.
