SPY REPORT: O Captain, My Captain Posted By Joshua on November 2, 2000
This report will be sensitive to those that don't want to know, so we'll go ahead and blank the whole thing out. But if you do want to know, read on for some real coolness:
Major Spoilers - Highlight to read!
Remember the name of a New Zealander actor Tihoi Taylor from Hamilton? We first posted back in July here after receiving a tip from the Taupo Times newspaper. Well, today insider Baby Hum reveals exclusively to TFN exactly who and what this actor is doing in Episode II. Again a warning - major spoilers present!!
You've spoke of Ambu Fett before, and I've got a tidbit for you as well. Bodie 'Tihoi' Taylor plays that character in Episode II. In fact, in the script and on set he was also referenced as the Clone Captain, which lends an interesting twist to the Fett name, Clones and of course, a captain certainly implies that there must also be an army.
Holy cow, here's something we've been waiting for for years! And coincidentally, his name Tihoi sounds like a Maori name and that other report does allude to the actor being of Maori origin - so chances are he'll have the same sort of skin color and general look as Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan.
So let's get this straight, we've got: Jango Fett, which is rumored to be the source for the clones. Boba Fett, his 'son,' and Ambu Fett, a clone captain in the military. Now, new information today also suggests that Ambu Fett may not be an evil character in the film. Perhaps the Senate has commissioned a small group of clones to be made in a test run, and they are used in the protection of the Queen? Or the clones are part of the prototypes of an army they are rushing to assemble? Just tossing that in there to make your head spin. Is it working? :)
