    I agree, but also,

    That guy looks cool, imposing, badass.

    That guy looks like a dork.

    The real life actor played the part well, but he looked silly. I understand they were limited in what they could do, and a tall head might have looked even worse, but what they did put together just didn’t quite work.

      The last time one was seen in live action being Episode III

      Yeah not all characters translated as good to live action as others.

      But perhaps these were constrained by other factors, like budget or time or whatever else was going on. Like a few more things in the Kenobi show felt weirdly low-budget, while other things in the same show seemed very high-budget, it was all over the place.

      They could’ve gone for a more similar look like the ones in ROTS, but I’m not sure how well that one would hold up in longer scenes.
