Who is the Kaminoan prime minister that greets Obi-Wan?

Answer

Lama Su

The story behind the answer

Lama Su, Kamino’s prime minister in Attack of the Clones, personally welcomes Obi‑Wan to Tipoca City and tours the clone facilities, confirming the army ordered under Jedi Master Sifo‑Dyas. Don’t confuse him with Taun We, the aide who handles communications and escorts Obi‑Wan; Sifo‑Dyas is the (deceased) Jedi who commissioned the clones; Sio Bibble is Naboo’s governor.

Kaminoans are renowned cloners, and their rain‑swept, sterile world underscores the clinical detachment of manufacturing soldiers. Lama Su’s polite pragmatism spotlights the saga’s themes of manipulation and the Republic’s slide into war, as a secret army—prepared without Senate oversight—quietly sets the stage for the rise of the Empire.
