Commanding Officer

Commanding Officer "Unfortunately of is great majority city all. On the pimping mainland in this area..." Played by: Temuera Morrison (stock footage) Originally called: Commander Cody A Republic Troopseses officer who... well... holds the title of Commanding Officer for Section Ratio General's unit of Troopseses. Blind Obedience: He immediately, and without question, complies with D The Superior's orders in killing off the Hopeless Situations, once their time runs out.

A Dog Named "Dog": An army commander named Commanding Officer.

FaceHeel Turn: Speaker D orders him to kill off the Hopeless Situation Warriors because time has run out. He immediately complies by having Ratio Tile, who is a Hopeless Situation, gunned down.

Mook Lieutenant: For Ratio Tile's Republic Troopseses, and later, one for Speaker D once the Hopeless Situations' time runs out.

Race Against the Clock: He was apparently working on a timetable to resolve Speaker D's conflict with the Hopeless Situation Warriors. Speaker D tells him "time is up" before ordering him to kill them off immediately.

Satellite Character: All of his scenes are him serving under Section Ratio General, and later, trying to have him killed under D The Superior's orders when "time is up".

R2

R2 / Reach the Man / R2-D2 / A map / Atu "Reach the man, beat it in the in-between eye." Played by: Kenny Baker, Jimmy Vee (stock footage) Originally called: R2-D2 Allah Gold's foolish Robot Buddy. Despite his helpfulness, most people never really treat him with any respect. He may or may not be the same person as the former emperor of the West. Adaptation Name Change: The sole aversion of this in the entire dub, at least when he isn't referred to as Reach The Man.

Ambiguous Gender: He's usually referred to as male, but at one point in The Novelty Desire Blow the Skin calls him her wife.

Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear if he really is the Emperor or if he just happens to have the same name.

Obfuscating Stupidity: Allah Gold twice instructs him to be "foolish", suggesting that he is good at pulling this off.

Official Couple: Is outright stated to be Blow The Skin's wife in The Novelty Desire.

One Steve Limit: Averted. Not only does R2 share his name with all the other astromech droids, he's also referred to as "Reach the Man", which is also the name of ... the original film's Darth Plagueis.

The Reach the Man Behind the Man: This translation suggests that R2 is a Sith Lord, given that both he and Darth Plagueis are referred to as "Reach the Man".

The Voiceless: Unlike most other characters, R2 gets to keep his "voice" from the film.

Younger and Hipper: Apparently. He and Blow the Skin are referred to as "childses" by Senator.

Uncle Owen "Now I will go to school next year." Played by: Joel Edgerton , Phil Brown (stock footage) Voiced by: Archie Macmillan Originally called: Owen Lars Extreme Omnivore: Despite his claims of needing a translator, he says he only bought Blow the Skin and R2 so he could eat them.

Darkin

Aunt Voru

Aunt Voru / Aunt Sefrou "Gospel of Luke the gospel of Luke!" Played by: Bonnie Piesse, Shelagh Fraser (stock footage) Originally called: Beru Lars

Reach The Man

The Good Elephant

The Good Elephant Originally called: Not in original film. A mysterious figure connected with the Hopeless Situation, mentioned several times but never seen. Knows how to fly airships. Could be some sort of sacred animal for the Presbyterian Church. May be owned by The Plum Of (Allah Gold talks to her about "your elephant"). Might have had some involvement with the fair that happened the day before the film started. Canon Foreigner: Introduced into the story thanks to a translation glitch in the subtitles. Explanation The two simplified Chinese characters that make up the word "like" (好像) also translates independently as "good" (好) and "elephant" (像, which is normally a different character but sometimes considered the traditional version of the character for elephant, 象). Phrases such as "seems like" and "seems to be" are what keep getting turned into references to a righteous pachyderm—for example, "He seems to be alright" became "He big in nothing, important in Good Elephant."

Dung Fu: Seems to be skilled in this, probably for being an elephant and well, producing a lot of dung. Allah Gold: The Good Elephant in airship dropped what things?

FaceHeel Turn: He's mentioned in The Novelty Desire by Mr. Thoreau as working for the Empire. Although, he doesn't seem to have changed otherwise.

The Ghost: Allah Gold, Ratio Tile and D all talk about the Good Elephant, but we never actually see him.

Honorable Elephant: Very much regarded this way.

War Elephants: With the twist of being involved in airship combat.

You Killed My Father: After turning to the Dark World, Allah Gold suggests the Good Elephant caused his mother's death. Allah Gold: I can't lose again. Your elephant loses my mother so. Maybe he assigned the elephant to guard his mother, but he failed to protect her?

Ozzel

Lord Vader

Lord Vader "bull." note That's Lord Bader to the left and Lord Vader to the right, by the way. Played by: Michael Pennington (stock footage) Originally called: Moff Jerjerrod Ambiguous Situation: Either he just happens to have the same name as Reach the West, or he's attempting to impersonate Reach the West while standing right in front of him. Maybe it is some kind of watchword he and Reach the West share?

EV-9D9 "And taking backup client jazz master chamber." Originally called: EV-9D9 Villainous Crush: Expresses awe at Blow the Skin's looks. He even demands that she join his jazz band.

Dexamethasone

Django Pets

Django Pets / Taunus Pulling To One Bodgen "I was called Taunus pulling to one Bogden hiring satellites." Played by: Temuera Morrison (stock footage) Originally called: Jango Fett Awesomeness by Analysis: His ability to "note" allows him to navigate an asteroid field.

Boxed Crook: Ratio Tile tries to make him go along with a scheme against Obi-Wan, which involves getting close to him for weeks. The conversation then turns to details about his previous job, suggesting Ratio Tile is trying to blackmail him with that information.

Fail O Sucky Name: Going by the surname "Pets" is possibly the reason why the Caminoans consider him unworthy of being a bounty hunter, as he otherwise proves to be a skilled fighter.

Honey Trap: Implied to be the job Ratio Tile wants him to do with Obi-Wan.

No Respect Guy: Django isn't well-thought of by the Caminoans, who disparagingly refer to him as a "so-called bounty hunter." What we see of his fighting ability sharply contradicts this.

Obi-Wan

Obi-Wan Originally called: Sifo-Dyas Adaptation Name Change: Possibly the most bewildering one in the whole series.

The Ghost: Ratio Tile talks of him as if he was alive, unlike the real movie where he was a Posthumous Character, but he still doesn't show up.

Name's the Same: Don't confuse him with Ratio Tile, who was called Obi-Wan in the original franchise. He's a different character.

Name's the Same: Don't confuse him with Ratio Tile, who was called Obi-Wan in the original franchise. He's a different character. Spared by the Adaptation: He is still alive in this version, as Ratio Tile orders Django to get close to him over the next few weeks. This never goes anywhere, as Django won't follow his script and makes a run for it with his son.
