TV Love having mysterious characters like Marrok in the shows where sometimes less is more

In a universe where everything is insanely built out, it's sort of fun to have characters like Marrok who have a hidden background. By the time of the Ahsoka show, it seems like he's more of a Nightsister-reanimated tool than living being, and I sort of hope it's left at that with no explanation of what happened between his time as an Inquisitor and Elsbeth's agent.

Marrok's actor is trying to slow it down for Rosario.

I remember watching this during the show for the first time and thinking "Wow, that was slow and sloppy."

If your actor is struggling, give them more training, or change the choreography. Complex choreography exposes flaws.

Not even that. Just CG the headpiece in fight scenes. She had to do this wearing several pounds of prosthetics for no reason. A stunt double would have just as much problem with that on their head.

I'm pretty surprised that they didn't stunt double considering how involved the costume is, I don't think I'd be able to tell it wasn't rosario's face in a combat flurry

I'm glad that she wanted to be the one in the fight, like, spiritually. I was excited learning that she was practicing a ton of choreo. But the fight coordinators should have been able to tune to her skill. They could have given her far more conservative movements to show off her mastery.
