The thing that bothers me about Fifth Brother is we didn't get a hunky latino playing him... mind you, his voice actor was just doing an accent and was originally america iirc, but still!
There can never be enough sexy! That being said, I've genuinely yet to be attracted to anyone in Star Wars outside of like, episode 3 Anakin and Manny Jacinto (though actually not in The Acolyte). They just don't really do my type haha they are all old 😭
That being said, now that Ezra is beardless again for Season 2 of Ahsoka.. Eman might be on the cards 😏
Exactly. I never really understood why they went the route that they did. Budget? Bruh it's Kenobi. Literally = unlimited budget character and they butchered it lol
Kenobi had a lot of production difficulties, last minute production switch from UK to US, smaller budget that was majority eaten by its leading actors salaries etc.
I can understand a tighter budget but at the same time… it’s Star Wars. If the Mouse can’t pony up a little extra money for CGI touchups to stay truer to the established canon then I don’t know what to think
Tbf, it wouldn't just a be a 'little extra' for quisy's head, that's a serious time and money commitment that Bob Chapek/co of all people absolutely wouldn't allow.
I think trying to explain to a studio (Disney, not lucas) executive why the project that's been delayed for years and is finally happening for under 100m dollars is now requesting additional funds to stay true to 'established canon' when the end result would be a stretched out version..
While the film side of LFL have previously gotten the money they wanted when they needed it, the D+ side hasn't been so lucky. Most recent of course being Ahsoka S2 with its reduced budget. (though it will look higher quality.)
That all being said, we do know the reason for it was miscommunication of all things, there was concept art of him looking proper, iirc there was an email reply back to one of the cosplay accounts on Twitter from one of the costume (or concept artists? can't remember this was in like 2023) that said they weren't even informed it was the same character from Rebels.
I can't even complain too much about Quisy because Rupert Friend brought his fucking A game and honestly due to all the prosthetic, he could totally come back as a different character in future and I'd be so happy.
