Lonn Idd was a Human male engineer who was the father of Vik and Nikki Idd. A noted scientist during the Galactic Empire's reign, Idd's claim to fame was his creative use of lasers during the development of his droids. When Tig Fromm and his gang attempted to steal the lasers from Idd aboard a space station, the scientist's children, with the help of C-3PO and R2-D2, defeated the raiders.
