SPY REPORT: Who Does Leeanna Walsman Really Play? Posted By Joshua on September 30, 2000
A reliable insider named Jango Fett checks in with this report on some of the early days of shooting Episode II. Interesting tidbits, and there are most definitely some spoilers in the report. Beware!
PLOT SPOILERS! Highlight to read:
A new character named Zam Wesell appears in several scenes with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin and is female! I have reason to believe that Zam Wesell is also played by none other than Australian actress Leeanna Walsman. She is not playing Aurra Sing as was previously reported.
Here's a basic description of a scene that she was in: The two Jedis, Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi are entering the Corusant night club from the main entrance, after a chase scene trying to catch Zam Wesell. Obi-Wan is talking to Anakin on how to use his lightsaber correctly because of what has just happened prior and then they enter the club. At some other point later in the movie, they have gotten ahold of Zam and have her in the back alley for interrogation because the information she holds is so important.
There are alley people all around and droids roaming the streets. I'll tell you more about what happens later.
Wow, I (Josh) wasn't expecting that. So cool.
UPDATE The name referenced in the above post first came up when we made this post on Trademarks a few days ago. Further research then indicated that the domain was registered to a Tony Behen of California, registered on August 22nd, just like the host of other domains. We've got a feeling that this is yet another name Lucasfilm is registering names under. Thanks to Obi-Wan Shenobi as well for the observation. Keep looking for other domains Tony Behen may have registered!
