Renna Sllos's Episode I Racer Page - Fode or Beed Annodue?

[Fode or Beed Annodue?]

One of the much-asked questions by obsessive Star Wars fans after seeing The Phantom Menace for the first time was: Which one of the heads is Fode and which is Beed? Well, okay, so there were quite a few questions asked before this one, but this is one of the harder ones to answer, since chances are pretty slim that the answer will be concretely revealed in one of the upcoming prequels.
THE FACTS The green-skinned head on the left speaks Huttese and the red-skinned head on the right speaks Basic. Greg Proops has spoken in the voice he used in The Phantom Menace on Whose Line is it Anyway? and it is definitely his voice that comes from the red-skinned head in The Phantom Menace. (WLiiA clips: 1, 2) By process of elimination, Scott Capurro's voice comes from the green-skinned head in The Phantom Menace. Proops's voice comes from the green-skinned head and Capurro's from the red-skinned head in Episode I - Racer. The Phantom Menace credits Proops as Fode and Capurro as Beed. Episode I - Racer lists Proops as Beed and Capurro as Fode. The Phantom Menace video game says that Proops played Beed and Capurro played Fode. Proops was interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and identified himself as playing Fode, the green-skinned, English-speaking head in the film, which doesn't exist. He also said that Capurro spoke in Huttese. (28k or 56k) The red-skinned head never speaks in Huttese, though the green-skinned head does speak in English in Episode I - Racer. An article (retyped - thanks to The Untitled Ryan Stiles & Greg Proops Page) from Star Wars Insider which states that Proops and Capurro wore five hours' worth of makeup before the decision was made to make Fode and Beed completely digital. The article includes a photo of Proops wearing green makeup, which explains why Proops told Stewart he played the green-skinned head - at one point, he did! Another photo (courtesy DigsySlattery) which shows both Proops and Capurro in their Annodue makeup. The caption (not shown) identifies Proops as the one in red makeup and Capurro as the one in green, contradicting the SW Insider photo. HOWEVER, as any Whose Line fan will tell you, the expression of the man in the green makeup is definitely that of Greg Proops, making the second caption inaccurate. Keeping the second photo in mind, it appears that the green-skinned head was modeled after Proops and the red-skinned head after Capurro.
POSSIBLY A COINCIDENCE, BUT IS FACTUAL

THE VERDICT
As you might have guessed from seeing it written on most of the other pages on this site, it seems obvious that Scott Capurro plays the green-skinned, Huttese-speaking head, and Greg Proops voices the red-skinned, English-speaking head - at least in the film The Phantom Menace, which wins out over all spin-offs. Most likely, Proops was originally assigned to the green-skinned, English-speaking head known as Fode and Capurro was given the red-skinned, Huttese-speaking Beed. The confusion came about after the CGI Annodues, who had already been designed in the images of their original voices, swapped voices.
BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!
Since it's quite clear that Greg Proops is the red-skinned head and Scott Capurro is the green-skinned head, the only question left is: which name goes with which head? Did the names swap with the voices? According to Proops, he is Fode Annodue, and The Phantom Menace's credits back him up, implying that the names did indeed switch with the voices. I personally agree with these facts, but one thing nags me: usually, when two characters are inseperable and have similar names, they are referred to from left to right from the audience's perspective. To call Fode the red-skinned head would put him on the right, which is backwards. But then again, Fode and Beed sounds better than Beed and Fode. Also, in the screenplay for The Phantom Menace, Fode and Beed are referred to as heads "A" and "B." "B" takes all of the English-speaking lines, while "A" speaks the Huttese dialogue, which would put "A" on the left and "B" on the right. Couldn't "B" stand for Beed, making Beed the red-skinned head? It's entirely possible, which is why there was any sort of confusion in the first place. So, what do you think? Is Fode green or red? Is Beed red or green? Is your head spinning yet?
