From the Movies

Don't let a uniform fool you, should you find yourself in the depths of the Coruscant entertainment district. Sure, there may be officials from the upper levels "slumming" it among the barflies at a Coruscant nightclub, but that Republic official or Senate Guard may in fact be a con artist looking to separate you from your pocketbook. Though at first glance, Lt. Dannl Faytonni seems to wear the uniform well, nothing should be taken for granted.

From the Expanded Universe

Dannl Faytonni dreamed of a career as an officer in service to the Republic. His two main strengths led him astray: a nimble mind attuned to the variables of sabacc, and a suavely mature way with women that inspired awe and admiration. It was the latter attribute that caused him to fall for the wrong woman, a shifty changeling who conned him into fronting a spice-mining scheme. While he narrowly escaped arrest, he found himself with both CorSec and alien enemies on his his tail. Enlisting the help of his ambitious and inventive friend, Achk Med-Beq, Dannl escaped Corellia. His hopes for serving in uniform dashed, Dannl realized that there was profit and excitement to be had in the art of confidence and grifting.

A series of misadventures later, the two ended up on Coruscant. A short stint in the Moderate Security Ward of the Coco District Penetentiary ended when they conned their ways aboard a laundry speeder. A profitable evening's worth of gambling later, the two conmen ended up with Republic uniforms. Now a "Lieutenant" (or so his rank piping indicated), Faytonni and Med-Beq hit the Outlander Club, looking for marks and entertainment.

Behind the Scenes

Lt. Dannl Faytonni was played by Anthony Daniels, the actor who plays the protocol droid C-3PO. Faytonni marked the first time Daniels' face could be visible in a Star Wars movie. Daniels also had a hand in establishing the backstory of this particular character.
