Hermione Bagwa
Originally there was a human waitress called Hermione Bagwa who greeted Obi-Wan as he entered the diner. She was replaced with a CGI Droid in the final movie but she can still be seen in the background when Dex looks out from the kitchen window. Hermione's dialogue would have been the same as what the Waitress Droid speaks.
There were also a few lines of dialogue cut from the beginning of the Diner scene when Obi-Wan enters.
Below is the excerpt from the "2nd draft". The deleted dialogue is highlighted in blue...
INT. CORUSCANT, DEX'S DINER - MORNING
A young waitress, HERMIONE BAGWA, is wiping off a booth tabletop. There is a counter with stools and a line of booths along the wall by the window. A number of CUSTOMERS are eating - TOUGH-LOOKING WORKERS, FREIGHTER DRIVERS etc. HERMIONE looks up as OBI-WAN comes in.
HERMIONE
Can I help ya?
OBI-WAN
I'm looking for Dexter.
HERMIONE'S eyes narrow.
HERMIONE BAGWA
Waddya want him for?
OBI-WAN
He's not in trouble. It's
personal.
HERMIONE stares at OBI-WAN. There is a brief pause. Then she goes to the open serving hatch behind the counter.
HERMIONE BAGWA
Someone to see ya, honey
(lowering her voice)
A Jedi, by the looks of him.
Steam billows out from the kitchen hatch behind the counter as a huge head pokes through.
DEXTER JETTSTER
Obi-Wan!
OBI-WAN
Hey, Dex.
DEXTER JETTSTER
Take a seat! Be right with ya!
OBI-WAN sits in a booth.
HERMIONE BAGWA
You want a cup of ardees?
OBI-WAN
Thank you.
HERMIONE moves off as the door to the counter opens and DEXTER JETTSTER appears. He is big - bald and sweaty, old and alien. Not someone to tangle with. He arrives, beaming hugely.
