Biography
Edit

Panno was a male Dressellian who joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic,[1] to which he was followed by communications expert Olander Brit.[3] Panno served the Alliance as both a commando and a scout, attaining the rank of major. An able tactician, the Dressellian assisted Alliance General Crix Madine with organizing troop movements in preparation for special missions.[1]
In 4 ABY, the Alliance learned that the Galactic Empire was constructing a second Death Star battlestation over the Forest Moon of Endor, prompting the Rebels to organize an effort to destroy the Death Star. A briefing was held aboard the Rebel flagship, Home One, in preparation for a strike at the Imperial construction site. Panno joined two other Dressellians in attending the briefing, which saw a strike team organized to infiltrate Endor before the Alliance Fleet launched its attack.[4] After aiding General Madine with plotting the strike team's destruction of the shield generator[5] that protected the second Death Star,[4] Panno participated in the subsequent battle with Imperial forces.[6]
Personality and traits
Edit
Major Panno served the Rebel Alliance as both a commando and a scout, and he used his tactical skills to assist in the logistical planning of special missions.[1] Skilled in combating forces of superior numbers, Panno employed a variety of weapons in battle, including a vibroblade, a blaster rifle, stun grenades, and thermal detonators. He stood at 1.82 meters in height and weighed 80 kilograms.[2]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Panno appeared in Richard Marquand's 1983 film, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, as a background character played by an uncredited actor, fleetingly visible during the Rebel briefing scene aboard Home One.[4] Leland Chee has suggested that Panno may also be briefly glimpsed boarding the captured Imperial shuttle Tydirium later in the movie.[7] Unnamed in the film, the "Prune Face" alien[8] went unidentified until he received a card in the Death Star II Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, released in 2000.[1]
