they should of used quigon's name, because he;s a character the audience knows, so when Obi-wan says "he was killed before that" he would be talking about an event we actually saw.
Or even darthmaul, since the jedi never learned his name. He ordered the clones, but was killed before jango was hired, so tyrannus handled that.
Lucas decided not to include it in ROTS, in order to focus more on Anakin's story, and had it explained in Labyrinth of Evil. Besides, it was best, IMHO, to leave it the mystery it is in the films. You know someone named Sifoo-Dias ordered the clones, but you know little about his him. So, you are left guessing if it was really Sifo-Dias, whether Dooku/Palpatine forced Sifo-Dias to do it before they killed him, etc.

Why? What is so "illogical" with the Sifo Dyas plot?

the LOA explanation is lame and doesn;'t make a lick of sense under scrutiny. It presupposes that sifodyas with good intentions and no cohersing ordered the clones, to be used for good. so what was sidious' grand plan then? if this random event had not happened how would he have formed the empire and wiped out the jedi? the entire galactic war erupts because of a random jedi we never saw who died before TPM? thats lame
and contrary to what was the plan up until LOA was published.
