Mini Series Vernestra Rwoh

No, it all depends on execution, and by the way, the execution of the bald scalp is very poor. I've heard numerous people complain about it. You can easily see the skull cap beneath the coloring. Super cheesy, indeed.

Great art is created through contrasts, and a giant green bald head has none.

 

There’s plenty of contrast between her green skin and the gold and white robes. The addition of another color - purple - would’ve made for a much busier and less artistically coherent look. They made the right color choice, in my view. Green, gold and white. Though tastes vary widely, of course...

Also lol on your “principles of great art” comment. Said like a true non-artist!

 

Not enough budget to make her purple hair look good.

 

Bob Iger cut back on hair-color budgets across all Disney programming.

 

By the way, her hair is not just purple, it is black-purple, so I don't think it would necessarily look "busy" as some assume.

But I know @Bor Mullet just has a thing for poorly designed bald characters. He is also a big fan of the Kenobi Inquisitor, which is almost universally loathed.

 

Just the bald head. The rest is middling.

 

Rather shady leader, let's be honest.

 

Well she will soon whip out her lightsaber

 

This character seems VERY gung-ho about keeping everything hush-hush. Maybe she's involved in the murders somehow? Maybe she found out about what happened on Brendok and is helping orchestrate the murders to cover up the bad thing the Jedi did?

EDIT: Is it possible that Vernestra ordered the Jedi Wookiee to the remote outpost in order to make it easy to kill him off?

 

Fred always knows stuff!

 

True, though she also functions as the official cover-up artist. It's mostly exposition, but it's also...ssssshhhhh. We don't want the Senate hearing this exposition.

 

She's old so she lost all her hair...

 

Apparently, according to the actress, Vern will

Spoiler

"fulfill her destiny" as a Jedi in The Acolyte.

I don't think this can refer to anything other than taking down Darth Smiley.

It also seems she will play a key role in delineating the limits of the Jedi's power. I think this has to do with the Jedi's overreach with the Coven. They had no business messing with the Coven, and it resulted in disaster.

My prediction is that Master Rwoh will blame Sol and the others for their actions, and she will attempt to cover this up from the Council and the Senate, but she may fail. If the Senate learns about the Jedi's actions on Brendok, it will be the beginning of their fall from favor and their political enemies will have ample ammunition against them.

But one thing is clear from the information we have on VR -- she is not a Sith.

 

From the teasers we can gather that she will arrive too late in the woods on Khofar. Maybe at the end of the episode. She be the Only Jedi to match Darth Smiley in saber skill fight and strength in the force.

 

I like her. I hope she ends up more morally gray than Ki Adi in the PT. But I do hope they give us the full story, maybe from the perspective of the sith "master" (who is actually the apprentice of Tenebrous) or the sith "apprentice"

 

She's the big, secret bad, right ?

 

I doubt it. But I think she was the Jedi master of

Qimir and gave him the odd shaped back scar.

 

She is the Mace Windu of this era. She sees the bigger picture.

 

Also nice reference to her hyperspace visions she used to get

 

She's definitely not a Sith. What she is is extremely concerned with protecting the reputation of the Jedi from its enemies. She may engage in coverups to do so, but I don't see her going as far as some have suggested and killing or framing people to save the Jedi's reputation -- but I could def be wrong about that. She could evolve into someone like that, but I think she will be unable to save the Jedi from scandal.

This Brendok thing is going to blow up and start the process of the "scales tipping."

 

Which means she doesn’t see it until it too late and even then doesn’t really believe it until they’re being zapped out of a window…

 

took the words out of my mouth. And I don’t want to see her zapped out the window.

 

I am like pretty sure she knows it’s Qimir as she trained Qimir

 

Everyone is predicting a connection between Venestra and Qimir, which makes me immediately doubt it.
