I watched R1 yesterday It was great but what really worked and blew my socks off was Tarkin.
The last on screen Tarkin was Reveng of the Sith and well.. View attachment 34897He looked either like Odo from Startrek DS9 or some kinda Alien hybrid or a Puppet like Robot chicken. I don't know if they tried to use an actor in makeup but it did not work for that cameo. Obviously They couldn't get Peter Cushing as he passed twenty years ago.
So in Rouge one they managed to digitally recreate Peter Cushing's Face It was amazing I mean he was delivering like it was Peter Cushing one of the Greatest English actors of the 20th century.
They hired on living English actor Guy Henry who has a similar facial structure, build and is a very accomplished Actor in his own right. then Digitally grafted on a 3D recreation of Peter Cushing's face and had him stand in. and the delivery was perfect. I mean I did not remember until I walked out of the Theater and said "wait a second Peter Cushing is long dead!"

One can still tell by looking at the lip movement that its CG.Mouth movements during speech is one of the hardest things to get perfect.

This is sad, so long Princess Leia.:eek::(:(

Damn! that sux! I was hoping she pulled through. Waay too young to go.

There were a few people I knew who left us this yr as well. My former boss passed away just last week.
:(

I wonder if they will write her out of any future Star War Films or continue to use CG
Actually they used CG for that Philip Seymour Hoffman's character in the Hunger Games after he passed away and it was a pretty convincing job. So for the next Episodes 8 and 9 of Star Wars they will have to use CG for Princess Leia with a body double of course.
