6. WOOKIE ACTION FIGURE- By Han Solo1138
*TAUN WE: Kamino Cloner- Collection 2, Number 25
Articulation: 3 1/2 out of 5- Hasbro did do an Ok job
but I would
love knee and elbow articulation
Accessories: Clone Chamber- I am pleased with this because
they could have
givin her no accessories like Palpatine
Play Value: Taun isn't the best toy to play with because
she can't hold
blasters or anything that great, but she looks great on a display shelf
Worst Part: her head seems a tad-bit too small, but that is it
Best Part: The overall effect of her, I love her in the
film, I love the toy,
every one is happy!

plays.
She went to the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) and National
Institute of Dramatic Art workshops. She was a part of the Sydney Theater
Company, and played a lead role in La Dispute.
But how was she found for Star Wars? Casting Director Robin Gurland
said, "The bounty hunter is an extremely physically oriented role.
One evening
I was at a play in Sydney and saw this actress hanging from a bar with
one arm
while delivering a stunning performance. It was amazing! Leeanna was just
who I
envisioned for the role. She has this wonderful pixyish, femme fatale
look."
In front of the blue screen, Leeanna had to film some scenes by
herself. But despite her expertise, it was the first time Leeanna had
done
anything of the sort. While in Sydney, she did some scenes with Hayden
and
Ewan, and grew very fond of Ewan. She was very excited and is proud to
be part
of Star Wars.
