Apparently it was originally Sido Dyas (geddit?) Lucas claimed he's explain it later but in true Doctor Who fashion he never bothered.
Yes, that's what I remember too...I just thought it would've been someone else...I mean, who *didn't* know that Palps was behind everything in the PT? Lucas made that perfectly clear...so I assumed it would've been someone else who ordered the clones...like Windu or Qui-Gon...silly me! lol :D
