Obi-Wan and Dex friendship

Okay, guys I have always wondered where Dex was from and how he met Obi-Wan. Does Dex have any connections with Didi from the Jude Watson Jedi Apprentice series...


-O Jedi

 

I'd like to know this also

 

I'm not familiar with the EU,why would you think that Dex is connected in that way?

 

From the OS:

Many in Coco Town know that Dex is not only the source of quick and hearty meals, but also unerring information on an astonishing array of topics. Dexter's past includes work with expeditionary oil-harvesting crews, manning rigs, running guns, tending bar, and brawling for a living. With his latest endeavor, Dex hoped to make a fresh and stable start, and enjoyed the more sedate and quiet life of a cook.

Dex first met Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was running a rough-and-tumble bar on Ord Sigatt, an Outer Rim mining world. Though Dex was on the wrong side of the law (his bar was a front for a gun-running racket), he took a liking to the young Jedi. Dex next opened a weapon shop on the Outland Transit Station, supplying mercenaries and bounty hunters alike. Narrowly escaping an attack on the station, Dex gave up the shadier life and sold the last of his wares, eventually settling on Coruscant.


To my knowledge, none of this has ever actually appeared in the EU, though. I kind of came up with my own backstory when I was writing a fic, but this is the official word, FWIW.

as far as I remember some friends fo QuiGon were running Dex's cafe (didi and his daughter). QuiGona nd ObiWan frequented that cafe for information. Didi and his daughter had to get off coruscant and they sold it some time to Dex. ObiWan just had made a habit out of going there I guess....and Dex had just as good info as Didi used to have...
