what would you have me do?

I still can’t believe they went from this in Attack of the Clones (2002) to this in The Acolyte (2024) even though they’re both portraying Mirialan Jedi Masters.

Vernestra looks like they just slapped some green make-up and some eyeliner dots on the actress and called it a day. It’s awful, especially since she has so many close-ups. Twenty-two years ago they made Luminara look like an actual humanoid alien, with beautiful details in both costume and make-up. Even though she's basically a background character, she looks so much more natural as a Jedi.

I was Wookiepedia-ing Luminara the other day and discovered that she’s only about a year older than Obi-Wan. They totally would’ve grown up in the Temple together, and I now headcanon that they are total sibs and that even circa the Clone Wars Obi-Wan still slips and calls her Nara in front of the Council sometimes.
