Doodnik Sharpelz

"Give him any trouble and I'll melt you down into spittoons!"

- Doodnik

Doodnik was a cantankerous four-armed being who owned and operated Doodnik's Café, a small dining establishment on Tyne's Horky. Doodnik's business wasn't profitable enough to allow him to hire a full-time staff, so he prepared many of the meals and drinks himself. Some time during the Galactic Civil War, Doodnik purchased the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 and put them to work waiting tables. Before the day was over, Doodnik disowned the droids for spilling drinks and causing disruptions in the diner.

Behind the scenes
Doodnik's weighty four-armed physiology, coupled with his Americana-style diner, was very reminiscent of the Besalisk known as Dexter Jettster and his Coruscant-based diner, as seen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Sound engineer, Ben Burtt, a writer on the Star Wars: Droids animated series provided insight into the design of Dex's Diner to establish a feeling of consistency between the movie and the cartoon.
