As a counterpoint, when my wife and I saw Rogue One we were both impressed that they managed to find somebody that looks just like Tarkin from the original film. I had no idea he was CG until reading about it after the fact.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoI also was impressed with Tarkin, but once I realized what was going on, I saw the flaws. That said, for casual fans, they may not even notice because it took the realization of "Hey this guys dead" to open my eyes to it. That said, the CG Leia was poorly executed, which was a surprise considering how well Tarkin was done. She really looked like a video game character. I would have preferred showing her head covered by her scarf and only showing her hands, like her intro in Episode 4. Maybe the production was worried casual fans wouldn't know who it was if they didn't show the face and goofy side-buns?
- TylerE 10y agoThe main problem I had with Tarkin was that the facial scanning was obviously done very late in life - the cheeks were extremly gaunt, and, well, corpse-like.

- drzaiusapelord 10y agoYeah I noticed this too. He looks older in R1 instead of younger.
