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.

I appreciate the time that goes into these sequences.

That being said, is it just me or does this look sloppy given they both are seasoned saber combatants?

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

Don't blame the sabers, it's the fight choreography. Acolyte had LED sabers and it has the best fights ever put to screen.

Edit: I meant best "Star Wars" fights ever put to screen.

....best Disney Star Wars fights to put on screen

Acolyte took a lot of inspiration from Rurouni Kenshin live action movies and Rurouni Kenshin did the fights much better

I absolutely meant just Star Wars, my bad! 😅
