    justthrowthethingWay 6 days ago The actual answer is that the costume designer didn't realize that the species had already been shown in live action. He talked about it during the Star Wars celebration panel 4.3k Reply Share

    AJB46 6 days ago The fact that a costume designer wouldn't have looked up anything else from one of the largest franchises of all time to use as reference for this character is more upsetting to me than the thought of Disney being cheap. 4.2k Reply Share Clamtoppings 6 days ago I think the fact that a continuity person or the lore expert didnt inform them, I would think is the actual problem. 1.9k Reply Share

    beakster57- 6 days ago I also thought the fifth brother looked awful Reply Share 1.4k ProcyonLotor13 · 6 days ago Oh yeah He did. The Fith Brother was meant to be a 7 foot tall alien. They just made him a guy painted green....someone really dropped the ball on the prostetics in this show... It's really unfortunate, considering cool aliens have always been a big thing in Star Wars.

    its Official Garwood · 6 days ago Budget too small for decent hair and make up 882 Reply Share save-aiur 6 days ago I'm assuming a majority of the budget went to the Obi-Wan VS Vader and other CGI, I think Mandalorian has 3-4x the budget and you can see the difference in the world and characters. 272 Reply Share

    UVLightOnTheInside 6 days ago. edited 5 days ago Yeah the guy from the movie wasnt CGI it was makeup and practical effects. I think the blame goes on the artists, they clearly thought they could redesign the character and people would be okay with it. Nothing more I hate is when somebody decides to reboot a show and just say fall to the established character designs. Like the Klingons in the new Star Trek. Next gen spent so much time giving the Klingons a very rich Society and backstory, then th

    ThecoolerSlick • 6 days ago . Honestly, Obi Wan as a whole felt like a low budget production without a lot of thought and effort 197 Reply Share CinephileNC25 - 6 days ago Vader was a let down. Like they tried to make him scary... but it just wasn't. Compare Vader in Rogue One to Vader in Obi Wan and its night and day on how they treat the character and use tension properly. It really comes down to the director and how they're filming him, then how its edited and scored. 66 Reply Share

    Desperate-Actuator18 6 days ago He looks right in Rebels, this was just laziness since he didn't even have any action scenes. Reply Share 723 Simba7- 6 days ago Yeah I thought for sure it would be because the si they had to wear in ROTS would be too limiting for the action scenes that the High Inquisitor would surely be involved in, that's why sacrifices had to be made. Turns out this was like the Leia chase scene, or the small puddle of fire Vader couldn't simply walk around or jump over. Just

    Darth Boggle 6 days ago Simple answer is that they didn't want to deal with CGI or creating a headpiece prosthetic for him. That's it, they were just lazy. I've heard people defend Disney on this and it's kinda pathetic how much boot licking they'll do. They say that it's simply ok for them to look different and there must be variations between the species, but that's their defining feature as an alien race so that doesn't make sense.

    They say it would've been really difficult to film action scenes, but I guess Ahsoka and all the other Jedi with weird head stuff that have live action scenes never happened. And let's forget the fact this is Disney and money isn't an issue. 130 Reply Share

    coryecker 6 days ago Idk.. I think there is something a little western white imperialist about how in Sci Fi and fantasy narratives all members of a species or race have to be perfectly identical. 2 Reply Share lazylagom 6 days ago Everyone was so bummed about this. THEY HAD THE TEMPLATE. Bro looked pudgy and non threatening. 2 Reply Share

    Last Known User - 6 days ago If you saw a fat short pudgy human, and next see a tall skinny human.... you wouldn't blink because you understand the diversity of human existence. The differences can be easily explained if you accept the same diversity happens in other alien worlds. 2 Reply Share

    demagogueffxiv. 6 days ago He could be a half Pau'ans or something. I mean there is lore for interspecies breeding right? Didn't that Twilek chick have a baby with a human? 2 Reply Share Kimarous- 6 days ago Because actors these days want THEIR face on screen, canonical appearance be damned. It's vanity, not laziness. 2 Reply Share
