So who got paid?
Crispin Glover went through a similar experience in Back to the Future 2 & 3 where they took old footage, added a stand in with prosthetics based on his face mold, and didn't pay him.
Basically due to using the face mold, the argument became that the new actor wasn't playing George McFly (a character) but Crispin Glover (an actor, covered by the Screen Actors Guild). They settled out of court and supposedly he got $750k so this one isn't settled.

- joeax 10y agoDisney/Lucasfilm signed an agreement with the estate of Peter Cushing. In the case of Crispin Glover, they used his likeness without his consent, which prompted him to sue and win.
