Elan Sel'Sabagno, also known as Elan Sleazebaggano, was a Balosar medical student on Coruscant who fell in with a bad crowd. He eventually became a slythmonger and dealt death sticks in the Outlander Club in the Uscru Entertainment District. An encounter with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi led him to rethink his life. Sel'Sabagno changed his ways for a time before falling into old patterns.

Biography[]

Elan Sel'Sabagno was a male Balosar who was once a medical student^[2] at the University of Coruscant^[source?] on Coruscant until he fell in with the wrong crowd. He stole medical supplies from the university and sold them to the gangster Hat Lo. Sel'Sabagno became a slythmonger and specialized in selling death sticks. He was known for the quality of his product, which he eventually became addicted to; however, his Balosar physiology protected him from the drug's harsher side effects.^[2]

In 22 BBY, Sel'Sabagno offered to sell Rancor nail blades to Jango Fett,^[source?] and attempted to sell death sticks to Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi^[4] two nights later.^[source?] After being mind tricked by Kenobi in the Outlander Club,^[4] he went home and completely rethought his life.^[2]

Sel'Sabagno managed to break his death stick addiction and swore off the slythmonger business, but soon enough slipped back into his old criminal ways, becoming involved in the trade of other, non-chemical illegalities, such as weapons and stolen goods. However, he still sold "the finest deathsticks in the galaxy, one hundred percent pure". Nearly three years after his encounter with Kenobi, Sel'Sabagno helped Boba Fett during an adventure on Coruscant, in which he ferried Boba around the city (all the while trying to sell Boba various illegal wares) and provided him with a saberdart, which Boba Fett used in his failed assassination attempt against Mace Windu.^[source?]

After the end of the Clone Wars, Sel'Sabagno had once more changed his ways, and was seeking to turn others from the path of illicit drug use. While handing out pamphlets in the lower levels, he bumped into fugitive Jedi Drake Lo'gaan and Zonder, and was knocked aside by a clone trooper who was pursuing the pair. After this encounter, he once more (this time without any Jedi influence) reflected that he needed to rethink his life.^[source?]

Behind the scenes[]

Elan Sel'Sabagno was portrayed by Matt Doran. The character was named by Star Wars creator George Lucas.^[6] Although Sel'Sabagno has ears in production photos as in the reference image of this article, ILM ultimately removed them and replaced them with antennapalps for the film because they considered it redundant for a character to have both antennae and ears, causing early Sleazebaggano toys to have ears instead of antennapalps as they were already designed before the change was made.^[5] However, these ears were retconned back into canon in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary.
