Hermione was born into desperate poverty in the filthy lower levels of Coruscant . Her childhood years were lonesome , full of squalor and misery . It was not until her teenage years that Dexter Jettster stumbled across her . He felt sorry for the young woman . At the time , he was in need of a waitress for his diner , and offered Hermione the job . This was nothing short of salvation for the young teenager . From that point on , she was deeply loyal to Dexter . When asked , Dexter sometimes said that Hermione ' s father was an old friend , and that he had promised to look after her . Head waitress . As the head waitress , Hermione was in charge of Dex ' s motley crew of assistant droids . She took customers ' orders by dictating them into a stylus which she stored in a garter on her thigh . The stylus was attached to an order comm worn on her belt , which transmitted the orders to the kitchen . She also brought customers their meals . Although she loved working at the diner , it was not without its troubles . Even though Hermione was head waitress , her fellow WA - 7 waitress droid disliked having to work under an inexperienced organic waitress . The jealous droid did everything it could to undermine Hermione ' s position . WA - 7 would often try to run over Hermione ' s toes , forcing her to wear very durable leather boots ( also good protection against toxic kitchen slops ) . In response , Hermione would sometimes set up traps around the diner to trip WA - 7 up . Hermione was a favorite among the working - class patrons . She usually wore an old - fashioned light - blue dress at the diner . She presented herself in a way that always gained the customers ' attention , and was soon known to be one of CoCo Town ' s beauties . Many of the diner ' s regulars kept coming back just for Hermione ' s good company . Her employer believed her to be " wild after hours . " With her tough upbringing , Hermione was also very capable of dealing with troublesome customers . Her large black leather boots reminded customers that she was not one to be trifled with . She also had the option of calling Dex out of the kitchen with her order comm if the going got too rough . At some point , presumably after the diner was destroyed by the Galactic Empire and later rebuilt , an aging but friendly Hermione owned and operated the diner throughout most of the Galactic Civil War . Brushes with glory . Hermione was working in the diner at the time that Obi - Wan Kenobi visited Dexter in 22 BBY regarding a mysterious saberdart , though it was WA - 7 that served him a cup of Jawa juice . When Quinlan Vos and Khaleen Hentz visited the diner in 20 BBY for information on a female Anzati assassin , Hermione was serving slider s , ardees and special sauce to some customers .

Earlier drafts of the screenplay had Bagwa being Dexter ' s wife , but this notion was eventually abandoned .
