"Jedi business, go back to your drinks."

Whimper Save was a mysterious Human female who, in 22 BBY, was on the planet Coruscant inside the Outlander Club with the con artist Dannl Faytonni at the same time as the bounty hunters Jango Fett and Zam Wesell. Sometime later, she was talking with Faytonni at the bar of the Outlander when Wesell entered the club trying to escape from the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. She turned to stare when Wesell's arm was cut off by Kenobi.

Biography

Save, Faytonni, and March turned to stare at Wesell.

Whimper Save was a mysterious^[2] Human female.^[1] In 22 BBY,^[4] she^[2] was on^[5] the planet^[6] Coruscant, visiting the Outlander Club,^[5] a nightclub and gambling hall^[7] in the Uscru Entertainment District of Coruscant.^[8] She was in the company of^[5] the con artist Dannl Faytonni^[9] and^[5] the anarchist criminal Reina March.^[10] The group was at the club the same time as the bounty hunters Jango Fett and Zam Wesell.^[5]

Shortly after,^[11] at night, Save was once again in the Outlander Club with Faytonni and March when Wesell ran inside the club trying to escape from the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker after an assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala.^[3] She drank at the club's bar^[12] and talked with Faytonni. When Kenobi made his way to the bar, a Human joined the trio and talked with March as Save watched her. When the Human left, Save turned her attention back to Faytonni, with whom she was holding hands with. A short while later, Save stared when Wesell's arm was cut off by Kenobi in an unsuccessful ambush. As Wesell was being helped up by the Jedi, a smiling Save started talking with Faytonni again. Skywalker then told the clubgoers to go back to their drinks.^[3]
