The only one that isn't a great match is Mace Windu. The forehead to chin ration is way off.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Gave me Mandark-vibes, of Dexter's Laboratory fame unoe.
Ha ha ha ha HA ha ha
Dooku isn't great either but no where as bad as Mace Windu.
Yeah, the dome in the cartoon doesn't seem egregious at all to me. It's that chiiiin.
Reminds me of complaints about characters showing up in live action for the first time and people complained that they don't look exactly like their Clone Wars versions.
I agree, but also,
That guy looks cool, imposing, badass.
That guy looks like a dork.
The real life actor played the part well, but he looked silly. I understand they were limited in what they could do, and a tall head might have looked even worse, but what they did put together just didn't quite work.
He was Pa’un wasn’t he?
The last time one was seen in live action being Episode III
They are here
Yeah not all characters translated as good to live action as others.
But perhaps these were constrained by other factors, like budget or time or whatever else was going on. Like a few more things in the Kenobi show felt weirdly low-budget, while other things in the same show seemed very high-budget, it was all over the place.
They could've gone for a more similar look like the ones in ROTS, but I'm not sure how well that one would hold up in longer scenes.
That said, a lot of the animated characters were based off live-action actors, and like the OP example they don't look like their live-action models much and they're very heavily stylized. The Inquisitor was an animated-only character, so they had a lot of liberty with his design, that's probably harder to translate back to live-action. Loved the actor though, did a marvellous job of translating the Inquisitors mannerisms.
The proportions of Mace Windu's forehead and chin stick out as incorrect
Palpatine workin’, though.
It's cool that humans have no problems interpreting cartoon depictions of faces which are so grotesquely exaggerated.
Oooh nooo! I think that Mace Windu might be a hate crime, haha
it's giving
I didn't realize that was a gif and it startled me a little.
Truth be told, same! I didn't notice when i downloaded it, then it caught me after i posted!
I don’t see a difference between palps and doodo
grievious just existing in roblox form
Count Duku is basically unchanged.
forget a fivehead, mace windu has like a 7 or 8 head
