main character looks horrible

[𝕁𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕖]

am i the only one that just absolutely hates how the main character looks, i literally waited as long as possible to play the first game till mods came out just so i can finally change the entire look of the character so that i could actually enjoy the game, the way he looks just doesnt belong in star wars at all.

I personally see nothing wrong or off-putting in his phenotype, but somehow I too don´t feel like he belongs in the universe. Same goes for Cassian Andor off the top of my head.

I have this problem with immersion-beaking™ names. For instance, I can´t get my head around how stupid Star Citizen names for places, planets and corporations sound. Same issue with a more recent game in my library - Vampire Survivors. I could actually live with the game name, but there are on top of that some really unattractive, unfitting and outright distasteful names for characters and items in my opinion. Though I do realise half of them are puns and joke names aimed mostly at Italian speakers. But SC is the worst I´ve seen.

Star Wars on the other hand have a good style. The names are believable and are usually not hard on the ear.

I can see the overall logic as there are situations where certain character designs or even certain actor/actress choices don't feel exactly correct but I do have to ask, why does Cameron Monaghan not fit? Let me put this a different way. Imagine if a twenty-something Mark Hamill had been cast in that role, would he fit in the Star Wars style? I know that sounds like a silly question but think about it for a minute. Take a look at Mark Hamill back in 'A New Hope' and notice that he also has that very boyish, very innocent look. He isn't terribly grizzled or physically mature. He and Cameron Monaghan share a lot in common in terms of the general "vibe" they give off.

I would ask the same question when it comes to Diego Luna (Andor). What about him specifically doesn't fit in Star Wars? His physical features and even general character style fits in pretty seamlessly with the original trilogy Star Wars aesthetic style. There isn't really anything about the actor that jumps out as aesthetically off.

Perhaps I could put it this way. If we were to get transported back to the 70's and Cameron Monaghan was casted as Luke Skywalker instead of Mark Hamill, it wouldn't change anything on an aesthetic or character concept level. They are both very much in the "Boyish farmer's son who wants to be more" visual category.

Don't get me wrong. There are absolutely limits. With a property like Star Wars, it is not a great idea to pick actors/actresses that maintain a very distinctly trendy look. You are probably not going to want to see hipster undercuts or that "TikTok boy haircut" (the one with the short sides and fluffy, curly top). You don't want anything that will look horrifically, obviously dated in a few years. Fortunately, Star Wars as a franchise has always been pretty good about avoiding that.

Apparently money can't buy a healthy emotional reaction to the appearance of an actor.

OK, I'll bait. What exactly is wrong with this guy ? And even if he looks stupid, it's him, not you. Do you associate yourself with the protagonist in each game ? What about Untitled Goose Game and similar ?

I also may skip this game but it will be for reasons that make some sense, like the greedy price tag or the bloatware called Origin, but your reason is kinda funny.

You do know he's modelled off the real actor who plays him, Cameron Monaghan. He is quite famous and you would have seen him on TV, unless you have been hiding under a rock.

I am not exactly calling you "crazy" but you did post a topic on the game's forum where you deliver a very strong "hot take" where you say (of the real-life motion capture/voice actor) "the way he looks just doesnt belong in star wars at all." as if "doesn't belong in Star Wars at all" means anything. You delivered a pretty strong opinion that (when one actually takes a look at various cast members of the films and shows) doesn't really add up and really is just the kind of thing that most people wouldn't really devote a lot of energy into thinking about or dwelling on.

To put this into perspective. You created a thread where you critique the real appearance of a real person with the flimsy justification that they "Don't belong in Star Wars at all". On the face of it, such commentary is pretty cruel and unnecessary. It is the kind of thing that really brings us back to the completely insane, completely illogical internet uproar that led to cast members in the new trilogy getting insulted and threatened by angry, internet addled outrage addicts via Youtube, Twitter, and other social media outlets.
