How is this allowed? What would people say if they released completely computer-generated Elvis Presley records?
Jeff Bridges was at least involved and alive when they digitally de-aged him in Tron Legacy.

most people made fun of it because of how creepy and uncanny it was

the magic of movies is about making you believe that what you see on the screen is real.

I think the only fake person that's ever been well done was Rachel in BR:2049. She was mostly obscured in darkness and only said one line which is the way to do it.
Kevin Rivera
The fact it looks fucking garbage doesn't help. Took me out of an already shitty movie.
Luke Morris
I don't know why they didn't just have him communicate by hologram. It would cover up any imperfections and be another Star Wars thing for the audience to 'member
Colton Gutierrez
They did a pretty bad job if that was the goal, Leia was even worse.
Nolan Hughes
The worst thing about it is that it could have easily been made great. The old rule is if something looks ehhh you dont show it in its entirety, leave it in shadow etc. to disguise the shortcomings. This is filmmaking 101. And in a Star Wars film in particular they had the means to easily present Tarkin, make it look good and not sacrifice the plot and thats the fucking holograms. It blows my fucking mind that they didnt just do that.
Eli Anderson
I think it was simply hubris. They honestly believed we would think that crap looked real.

Why didn't they just get Scorpius again. He looked fine in ep3

Nowadays most people silently have signed away their rights to their own likeness, voice, mannerism, digital and real life all the way down to their physical essence the dna so I can't but shrug it off as things are fucked in general.
Tyler Sullivan
what's so wrong about just using fake hair and subtle prosthetics for Tarkin?
Asher Russell
that's some scary shit

1. phase: Grand Moff Tarkin
2. phase: Black-haird Blue-eyed Tarkin
3. phase: Tarkin, Lord of Silver
4. phase: Sinster Tarkin, the Eyeless Lord
5. phase: Scorched Tarkin, the Phoenix Reborn

Wait why didn't they just use the guy they mocapped??
He looks fine?

The iffy voice was the worse thing about it. Cushing had a specific voice and someone else trying to do an impression didn't work.
Cameron Howard
Just wait until they buy the licenses to your deceased family members when making a movie
They'll make a 9/11 movie and buy the faces of all the people on the planes from the relatives
They'll declare that a person's face and voice becomes public domain after 200 years so they can reconstruct people from their remains.
Mason Thomas
That whole scene in Empire should've just been removed or at least have it so you only hear the emperor's voice. It'd make the emperor more mysterious and build up to his reveal in Return.
Landon King
Not really, and it never would have worked for the close-up scenes. The Cushing Necromancy was literally the best way they could have gone with it.
Anthony Brooks
That was one of the worst aspects of the film, takes me right out of the suspension of disbelief.

The Emperor's voice in the original Empire sounded nothing like his actual appearance in Return of the Jedi, I think the cloak was generally supposed to hide his appearance.

"Signed away", to whom? Please show me who is getting these rights, and the documents anyone has signed giving these rights away.
Matthew Brooks
Yes I know, making it even more jarring. But I just think the scene ruins the emperor's reveal even with the fix. It feels premature. Could've been done more effectively if you only heard his voice while the camera stayed on Vader or if the emperor's hood really was hiding his face like it did in the Phantom Menace. It would've made his arrival in Return more effective because up to that point he'd have been a mystery.

Not how it works, at all. In the US, right to publicity are a state by state issue. If you die in NY for example, your rights to publicity die with you - which is why nobody needs a license to portray Marilyn Monroe, because she was an official resident of NY at the time of her death. A lot of actors and actresses maintain CA addresses because CA has specific laws around this, and while they may live somewhere else, on paper they're CA residents.
>They'll declare that a person's face and voice becomes public domain after 200 years so they can reconstruct people from their remains.
This is complete and utter nonsense, stop making shit up to try and have a point.
Michael Richardson
Just looking at it from a film-making perspective.
Josiah Martin
Just get a different actor, who cares if they dont have the exact same face
It's a thousand times better than a CG puppet
Ayden Johnson
This. It was immediately obvious who it was, despite no exposition. At the most all they would have had to do is have someone greet him as Grand Moff Tarkin, and it'd be fine.
Lucas Mitchell
Except it's not, and you're stupid.
Sebastian Brown
If they’d kept it to one or two short scenes where he wasn’t to close to the camera, I think people would’ve loved it, but they overplayed their hand.
