- "This poor example should not dictate sweeping policy changes. Do not let the actions of two corrupt Senators paint the entire body as corrupt."
- ―Lexi Dio, about the scandal following the Battle of Duro
Lexi Dio was a Human female Senator who represented Uyter in the Galactic Senate of the Republic before and during the Clone Wars.
Biography[]
Senator Dio represented the agricultural world of Uyter, and was a member of the Loyalist Committee.[3] She was surrounded by a group of Uyter-born advisors, including Half'Pel Sen, Benet Pryer, Tavah Whey Term and Mages Jink.[4]
In 22 BBY, shortly before the Clone Wars, Senator Dio attended a fundraiser in favor of the Refugee Relief Movement held at the Xenvaer Civic Auditorium on Alsakan. The journalist Dyslogia Twang described her look as "atrocious" and "infratacky".[5]
She was strongly opposed to the Military Creation Act, as the people she represented were apprehensive about giving so much power to the central government.[4]
Dio was in Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's office when Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala retransmitted a message sent by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi to warn the Republic that the Confederacy of Independent Systems had built an army of droids on Geonosis.[6]
During the Clone Wars, Senator Dio continued to oppose limiting the power of the Galactic Senate, especially in the crisis following the Battle of Duro in 20 BBY.[2] Sometime later, she was assassinated and replaced by Malé-Dee.[1]

Lexi Dio was portrayed by Nicole Fantl. In the 2009 Star Wars Annual, her name is misspelled as "Lexie Dio".
