Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm have taken the wrong approach to adapting cartoon characters to live-action and it's a weak link in an otherwise fun Star Wars show.
This looks a bit better simply because Thrawn is so alien-looking . I think Mikkelsen is terrific in this role, but the blue skin and red eyes just look...goofy to me. It’s too much. It’s taking a cartoon and just directly applying that look to live-action without any attempt at making these characters look real.Credit: Disney
For now, I will end this by strongly urging Disney and Lucasfilm and Dave Filoni and the costume and SFX departments on these shows to do three things:does this very well. As always, take notes fromwithout this strict adherence to visual continuity. The eye color thing is just one example, but given how important eyes are in conveying human emotion on the screen making sure that the actors can do their jobs properly is more important than making sure Hera or Ahsoka’s eyes are just so.
One I’ve seen come up more than once is that this is “superficial”. I would argue that there is nothing superficial about critiquing visual design choices in film and television. That’s saying that critiquing graphics in a video game is “superficial.” Maybe graphics aren’t the most important factor, but they matter and so do design choices in aTV show.
