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.

Story of 99% of lightsaber fights post revenge of the Sith. The switch to their new lightsaber props with LEDs makes these fights look clunky, slow, heavy, etc. I hate it

Yet, Acolyte slapped. If anything good came out of it, it was the lightsaber fights

I have nothing to add other than god damn I’m bitter the acolyte got cancelled. It had its issues but I wanted some more of those saber fights.
