I like Ben Bratt, but he’s half the size.
Especially since this isn’t that much after kenobi.
Haven’t gotten past 2e4 though, curious how it turned out.
I guess technically this is a spoiler, so…
The article goes into it a little. It’s a cameo for now. His appearance in this arc is literally 20 seconds of small talk. Gilroy wanted to drop the casting bomb now so people would be over it by the time he has something important to do in the 7-8-9 arc.
Fair, smart, and I think it worked.
By the time the scene was over I was basically ‘yeah fine, that’s bail now’.

Apparently Jimmy Smitts is 6’3 and Benjamin Bratt is 6’2 so pretty damn close.

Unless Benjamin Bratt ate another Benjamin Bratt I think it will still be noticeable.
