Fame Drimal was a male[3] green-skinned Neimoidian[2] lieutenant[3] in the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion,[4] who served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic. Originally stationed near Plagen,[3] a Separatist[5] world in the Expansion Region,[6] Drimal was reassigned to guard the Separatist Council on the planet Mustafar[3] in 19 BBY.[1] Wearing Neimoidian guard armor and armed with a Neimoidian ceremonial blaster rifle,[2] he was posted to the right side of the door within the interior of the Separatists' leadership bunker, with Captain Gap Nox to the left,[7] when Darth Vader, the apprentice of the Sith Lord and CIS ally Darth Sidious, arrived. However, Sidious betrayed the Council and Vader killed Drimal and all other individuals present.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Fame Drimal and Gap Nox are killed in a deleted scene.
Fame Drimal first appeared as an unnamed background character in the 2005 movie Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.[2] He was originally supposed to be shown slain by Vader, with Nox, but the scene was cut.[8] In 2014, he received a name in the Star Wars Insider 147 article The Devious Neimoidians Revealed by Tim Veekhoven, Kevin Beentjes, Sander de Lange, and Leland Chee.[3] Drimal's character was specified further in the creating and naming 'Devious Neimoidians Revealed' notes included in the Facebook page Star Wars Sourcebooks, which was also run by the first three authors. However, Drimal was misspelled as "Dremal" in the notes.[7]
