Taun We / Legends Taun We was a female Kaminoan who hailed from Kamino , an Outer Rim world noted for its major cloning facilities . As the administrative aide of Prime Minister Lama Su , she was closely involved in the creation of the clone troopers , an army of elite soldiers bred to serve the Galactic Republic . Biography . Project Coordinator . Approximately ten years before the Battle of Geonosis , Taun We and her people were hired by Jedi Master Sifo - Dyas to create a clone army for the Galactic Republic . In addition to her duties as administrative aide to Prime Minister Lama Su of Kamino , she also served as Project Coordinator for the Republic clone troopers . She closely monitored the development of the rank - and - file soldiers , as well as the training of a special unit known as clone commandos . During the accelerated growth and training process of the clone troopers , Taun We also acted as a guardian to Boba Fett , an unmodified clone of Jango Fett , the bounty hunter who had been selected to become the army ' s template . Whereas Fett felt no emotional sentiments toward the rest of his copies , he regarded Boba as the only " true clone ; " a son to be raised and cared for . With only two other female influences — MU - 12 and Zam Wesell — in Boba ' s life , Taun We became a virtual " surrogate mother " to Fett ' s son . Clone Wars . In 22 BBY , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi tracked Jango Fett to Tipoca City , the planetary capital of Kamino . Unaware of Kenobi ' s mission , Taun We assumed that he was a Jedi representative sent to gather a progress report on the clone army . She and Lama Su personally escorted Kenobi on a tour through their clone military education complex , proudly displaying the Kaminoans ' creations to their Jedi guest . She then introduced Kenobi to Boba and Jango Fett , whom Kenobi deduced to be the hunter he was sent after . Before reporting his findings to the Jedi High Council , Kenobi was informed by Taun We that the battle - ready clone battalions were prepared for deployment , although additional troopers required more time to be grown . After Supreme Chancellor Palpatine activated the clone troopers as the Republic ' s official army , under the command of Jedi officers , the Republic entered into a state of war — known as the Clone Wars — against the Separatist rebellion . When the Separatist forces invaded Kamino in an attempt to destroy the Republic ' s primary cloning source , Taun We helped to coordinate the planet ' s defenses in order to protect the Kaminoan facilities . Although most of their remaining units were unfit for combat , as Taun We noted during the fighting , Kamino was ultimately spared from conquest by the combined efforts of Jedi and " Alpha " - class ARC troopers . However , the true purpose of the Clone Wars was the eradication of the Jedi Order and the creation of Sith galactic hegemony . In 19 BBY , the Sith Lord Darth Sidious , publicly known as Chancellor Palpatine , issued Order 66 and hence declared all Jedi as enemies of the Republic . In the aftermath of the purge , Palpatine used the programmed loyalty of the clone troopers to enforce the rise of his New Order , a Galactic Empire ruled by himself as emperor . The clones , reorganized into Imperial stormtroopers , were used by the Empire to enforce the Emperor ' s reign on various worlds , including Taun We ' s homeworld of Kamino , which ultimately lost its independence as a result of its own creations . Later years . Following the end of the Clone Wars , Taun We lived through several long time periods such as the era of Imperialization , the Galactic Civil War and the Yuuzhan Vong War . Though she was still alive as of 40 ABY , Taun We no longer served the government of Kamino ; her planet having been reduced to a shadow of its former self . Employed by Arkanian Microtechnologies , she was stationed in the company ' s facility on Vohai in the Parmel sector . By then , a much older and terminally - ill Boba Fett discovered Taun We ' s location and forced her to divulge any information that could reverse his condition . Personality and traits . Taun We was polite and courteous , possessing a gentle nature that made her fair to everyone . Tall and graceful , the female Kaminoan was considered beautiful and elegant ; her personality and understanding of Human emotional psychology qualified her as the Project Coordinator for a Republic Army of Human clones . Yet despite being well - versed in Human behavior , Taun We was also naïve enough to not realize that Obi - Wan Kenobi did not know about the clone army ' s existence before his arrival on Kamino . Her talent for nurturing young clones aided in the development of a relationship between her and Boba Fett , who viewed her as the closest example he had to a mother figure . Behind the scenes . Taun We was an entirely computer - generated character . She was voiced by Rena Owen , who described Taun We as a creature of love and light . Owen performed Taun We ' s voice on set , wearing a specially modified hardhat with a maquette of the alien ' s head on top , which provided her co - stars with the proper line - of - sight for talking with the two - meter tall alien . Taun We is a playable character in " " , except in the Nintendo DS version , where she appears as a non - playable character during the Kamino level , guiding the player .
