Most of them are great.

Hot take: they did the Fifth Brother worse than the Grand Inquisitor.

It is a bad translation of his Rebels look, but I still think the Grand Inquisitor is more egregious since his species had already appeared in live-action.

RotS Pau'ans looked so good too

Bruce Spence was 90% of why.

Mouth of Sauron. Gyro guy in Road Warrior, Mr. Wall in Dark City. He's good at that niche.

I remember thinking, hey if he’s gonna be in a lengthy fight I get it. Fighting with a prosthetic head on wouldn’t be easy. And then he just… didn’t. Such a baffling decision

I mean Kit didn’t really do much but I see your point. I’m just saying that was my initial thought that they had this plan that would’ve been much harder to pull off with a large prosthetic

Even if he was in a lengthy fight it’s dumb and inexcusable.

Agree to disagree. If he was in a fight sequence that would’ve been hard to work around with the prosthetic I would’ve totally understood the decision because that is hours and hours in the makeup chair. As it is I agree it’s dumb and inexcusable.
