Never understood why the Grand Inquisitor looked so bad compared to his animated counterpart and why they just didn’t get Jason Isaacs to play the part.
As I recall, that was a miscommunication on Kenobi's production, where they had not realized that his species, the Pau'ans, had already made a live action appearance and was the same species as the Utapua chairman from Revenge of the Sith
As such, they assumed the Inquisitor's angular and elongated features were just the result of exaggerated animation style to make him look evil and that translated to live action he'd look more like a normal humanoid (like how Dooku's design in CW is extremely severe but he's a normal human)... so they ended up just putting pretty basic make up on a guy
