*Warning! Extremely nerdy Star Wars related rant!*
Does everyone remember my rant about the confusion over the identity of the second Neimoidian in Attack of the Clones? How the credits claimed it was Lott Dod while other sources said it was a new dude named Gilramos Libkath, with me firmly in the "It's Libkath" camp due to the overwhelming evidence that it couldn't possibly be Dod (differant appearance, different voice, and to top it all off, the credits list the wrong actor; David Healey played the Neimoidian, not Alan Ruscoe)?
Well, there's been a new development to this debacle. Leland Chee, the so-called "Keeper of the Holocron," has declared that the Attack of the Clones Neimoidian is not Lott Dod... nor is it Gilramos Libkath, for that matter. Instead, the official LucasFilm word is that it is... Rune Haako?! Rune Haako is the Viceroy's sidekick from the first film, and like Lott Dod, looks and sounds absolutely nothing like the Neimoidian in the second one. Worse, if we're to believe Mr. Chee, then that means that Haako goes from looking and sounding the way he does in The Phantom Menace, to suddenly looking and sounding completely different in Attack of the Clones, and then suddenly being back to his old self in Revenge of the Sith.
Suddenly, the attempted explanation that it's Lott Dod after plastic surgery makes sense.

Admiral Ozzel: Duh, oh-- Hey! We're almost done with your pancakes! Sorry about the wait! Darth Vader: I wanted waffles, not pancakes. You may die.
