* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: Possibly more so than any other world in Star Wars, planet spanning city aside - Coruscant is around the same size as Earth and additionally has 24 hour days, and 365 day years and had a climate very similar to Earth. It's even implied, both in Canon and ''Legends'' that the human species actually evolved on Coruscant before expanding outward, basically making it the in-universe analogue for Earth.

A diner owner on Coruscant, Dexter was an old friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi's who he sometimes relied on a source of information. After the Clone Wars, Dexter departed Coruscant and travelled the Outer Rim, doing what he could to help those in need.



* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Maz accused him of this at one point, and he later thinks she might be correct as he spends at least part of the Dark Times wandering the galaxy attempting to fight the excessive brutality of the syndicates that control the Outer Rim.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Has some admiration for the Kaminoians and their cloning work, while being absolutely disgusted by the horrors inflicted upon workers being exploited by Crimson Dawn in the labs they use to "improve" their miners.


Added DiffLines:

* FeelingTheirAge: When arriving on Athus Klee, he moves so slowly due to his age that all of the other passengers on the transport make it to the local inns and book all the rooms before he even reaches them. Dexter isn't too bothered by this, as it gives him a nice excuse to camp under the stars.
* TheFogOfAges: It's unclear exactly how old he is, but by the Dark Times Dexter has been around quite a while and struggles to place some events in his memory.
-->'''Dexter:''' When you get as old as me the years seem like they're not worth so much. Memories either feel like a century ago or yesterday. No in between.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroicFatigue: His entries in the ''Smuggler's Guide'' make it clear that his age, the rise of the Empire, and the horrors the syndicates inflict upon their victims in the Outer Rim have gotten to him, and he briefly despairs about how little he can do as one person. Despite this, Dexter manages shake off his doubts, rescue an enslaved worker from Crimson Dawn, and send recorded evidence of the syndicate's crimes on Athus Klee to a trustworthy fried in the senate in the hopes that something could be done. The fact that a note written by Han mentions this story sounding familiar suggests that Dexter's efforts worked in at least bringing some attention to Crimson Dawn's activity there.

* TooDumbToLive: It's clear she believed that a Jedi's strength came from the lightsaber. Anybody will tell you that it's the other way around. It's probably for the best that Sinube disarmed her quickly, since she'd be more likely to hurt herself than anyone else wielding such a dangerous weapon.

* ButtMonkey: Coruscant becomes something of an ugly duckling in the New Republic, with the Old Republic's fall at least partly being blamed on Coruscant. The capital gets rotated, and one of the things that really attracts outlying planets to the new government is that Coruscant is no longer the capital, giving them the chance to give one last "fuck you" to the crown jewel of the Galaxy.

* LayeredMetropolis: Coruscant is UpToEleven and beyond example, which makes it [[AppliedMathematics 121 or higher.]] No, really, it deserves that. The planet is covered in skyscrapers, which are also covered in skyscrapers, which are covered in more skyscrapers, which goes on for long enough that the skyscrapers dwarf the natural features of the planet. And some of the skyscrapers that were built on are actually construction droids for building more skyscrapers. The city has 5127 levels—not floors, mind you, ''levels'' upon which structures are built, with many skyscrapers' upper floors exceeding 20,000 feet altitude. Fluff material describes Coruscanti high-rises as requiring complex environmental regulation systems to compensate for the differential heating between the lobby and the penthouse. Those skyscrapers are for the high-society types, of course. The lower you go, the poorer (and darker) it gets, with the very lowest levels being considered uninhabitable (and occupied by some very nasty predatory critters).
