Bannamu, a Patrolian thief of the male gender, made his home on the world of Coruscant amidst the Clone Wars. During the year 21 BBY, Bannamu successfully pilfered a lightsaber directly from the belt of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, later selling it to the Trandoshan known as Nack Movers. Shortly thereafter, Tano, aided by Jedi Master Tera Sinube, located Bannamu at his refuge within the Spider Arms Hostel, compelling him to disclose the location of her stolen weapon.
The reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, published in 2017, contains a spelling error, presenting Bannamu's name as "Banamu."
