Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm have taken the wrong approach to adapting cartoon characters to live-action and it's a weak link in an otherwise fun Star Wars show.
This looks a bit better simply because Thrawn is so alien-looking . I think Mikkelsen is terrific in this role, but the blue skin and red eyes just look...goofy to me. It’s too much. It’s taking a cartoon and just directly applying that look to live-action without any attempt at making these characters look real.Credit: Disney
But even these seem unnecessarily fake-looking. Why not just have Eman Esfandi’s natural eye color? We can still accept that he is live-action Ezra! He’s playing the part perfectly and frankly I just can’t imagine the eye-color issue would matter.
I was going to comment on her son, Jacen, as well but honestly that’s just a whole other story that gets deep into alien/human crossbreeding and plausibility and I’ll save it for another time. For now, I will end this by strongly urging Disney and Lucasfilm and Dave Filoni and the costume and SFX departments on these shows to do three things:does this very well. As always, take notes fromwithout this strict adherence to visual continuity. The eye color thing is just one example, but given how important eyes are in conveying human emotion on the screen making sure that the actoirs can do their jobs properly is more important than making sure Hera or Ahsoka’s eyes are just so.
This also applies to the hair department. I’m speaking now of Katee Sackhoff. Just because Bo-Katan had terrible hair in the animated shows doesn’t mean you have to do this to Katee’s hair. Yeesh.
