About Taun We

This tall, ethereal Kaminoan administrator serves as the primary liaison between her aquatic homeworld and the Galactic Republic during one of the most pivotal moments in galactic history. With her elongated neck, pale grey skin, and distinctive black eyes, she embodies the graceful yet mysterious nature of her species, who have mastered the art of cloning on the storm-swept planet of Kamino.

As a member of Kamino’s Ruling Council, she oversaw the massive clone army project that would fundamentally alter the course of the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived unexpectedly on Kamino, she guided him through the sprawling cloning facilities with characteristic Kaminoan efficiency, revealing the existence of millions of clone troopers bred for combat. Her calm, professional demeanour masked the enormous implications of what she was showing the surprised Jedi Knight.

The clone army she helped create would later become the backbone of the Republic’s military forces, though the true purpose behind the clones’ inhibitor chips remained hidden from most observers. Her species’ clinical approach to genetic manipulation and their detachment from galactic politics made them ideal partners for the secretive project that had been years in the making.

Rena Owen’s voice work brings a measured, almost clinical quality to the character, perfectly capturing the Kaminoan blend of helpfulness and emotional distance. This administrative figure represents the intersection of advanced science and political machination that defines much of the prequel era’s complex storytelling.
