Does Pletnev look like the new bond villain as much as i think he does?

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

No, I think it's only the beard and hair that creates a resemblance. If you cut back all that, they would look completely different. Zimmerman has a wider and more stout face than Ewan.

Btw, McGregor was brilliant at playing Obi Wan, he bridged the young Obi to the old in the original films really well.
