Peter Cushing WTF?

yeah it was uncalled for, lucas would have never done this

Have not seen the original trilogy

I just watched Rogue One and can honestly say I had no clue He was digitally done.

after watching the movie I went to the message boards and thats where I learned He was In The Original Star Wars, that he died and that His character was digitally done In Rogue One.

I must say I'm blown away by that...talk about Incredible Special Effects. now I didn't know I was supposed to notice anything and on a second viewing I may be able to tell Its A Digitally character, But On first viewing, I literally had no clue and noticed nothing....I did Notice The CGI Laia though

I dont think there was anything creepy about it, per se.
I was surprised to see a dead actor, start in a movie, and from a technical point of view, it was impressive.

As far as I'm concerned, I was a bit surprised to see the face of a Harry Potter house elf suddenly appear amidst human actors.

I don't find it creepy at all. I see it as a tribute to Peter Cushing and his great character.

We saw a young Jeff Bridges version in Tron (2010), so what makes this creepy, the fact that Peter Cushing is dead? not for me.

If I were an actor I would be happy to be remembered and recreated in a future film specially if it's part of a big story like Star Wars, I think this was much better and even less distracting than another actor playing the same role.

I thought it was very well done imo. I appreciate the filmakers efforts to push boundaries with this new tech. Can't wait to see how this evolves over the years.

CG artists seem to have nailed skin, hair and clothing for quite a while now. It's come to a point where you can't tell the difference. Just one look at the new Planet of the Apes films (Rise and Dawn) and you'll see how fur and other material is perfectly photorealistic.

What CG Tarkin could've used more work on were the eyes. There's still some lingering 'zombie dullness'. I don't get why James Cameron was able to solve this problem by attaching a small camera to the actor's helmet to capture the eyes (giving the fictional Na'vi a lot of convincing facial animations), but they seemed to have regressed when it comes to Rogue One. Couldn't they use the same method? Or maybe they did, and just didn't do it as well?

To be fair, human faces really would be the hardest to replicate out of everything else because...well, we know humans. We might give a pass to some rather shoddy and wonky CG dinosaur, bird or gorilla only because it doesn't have to be 100% to convince us fully, but for a human, every little thing on that face has to be near perfect or the spell will be broken.

It was pretty amazing to see Grand Moff Tarkin back after nearly 40 years, a job well done and I am glad they did it well!
