    If he re voiced all of the audio, why does it sound like it was from 40 years ago ? His voice now is completely gravely and different. Unless they somehow altered his voice once he had spoken the dialogue?

    Exactly. ILM pulled him off to such a realistic degree that you forget you're looking at a CG creation, which is their objective.

    K2 is the most realistic CGI character I have ever seen.

    I find those sorts of transcript interviews very odd - especially the way they end!

    Tarkin was great, in my opinion, considering everything. A bit off, but still great.

    The CGI Leia was more noticeably off....I think she was too pale, wide, and her eyes were wrong.

    Still pretty good, though.

    i think its fine to make someone young again like they did for Leah while Carrie was still alive.... other than that id say no unless it was for a super brief shot, but not to have a main part in the movie...

    wow, under the same lighting as ANH I almost can't tell the difference between CGI Tarkin and the real one:

    Indeed, in a still like that the CGI is flawless!
    I think I read somewhere that either Gareth Edwards or John Knoll said that they first experimented with lighting the character like he was lit in ANH and that he immediately looked better, since that's how we're used to seeing Tarkin, but that the film needed him in a different lighting so they went with that anyway.
    Good choice if you ask me. The smartest thing to do was to light him like they would light Krennic or any other Imperial aboard the Death Star/Star Destroyer. It makes his inclusion feel more organic.

    We are 99% there. The final details are just a little bit of mouth movement, eye brightness, and some small details really.

    All casual viewers I talked to did not notice.

    For EP 8 they had 1 year of post production, I guess that Snoke CGI is going to be very interesting.

    Maybe a new step forward like Gollum was, regarding CGI tech ?

    Yes, it will be interesting to see Snoke in TLJ. I don't much care for the Snoke CG in TFA, but since he's only a hologram in it it's forgiveable - hopefully he will look better 'in the flesh'.

    Snoke will be a CGI enhanced muppet.

    Agree. I think mouth movement is the final frontier! Perfect that, and you're done.

    A couple of the more "casual" fans that I saw RO with thought Tarkin was actually Peter Cushing. (They hadn't known he died,)

    Both Tarkin and Leia looked amazing to me. Leia more-so, because my jaw hit the floor when she appeared on-screen. Absolutely perfect.

    I think whether you agreed with their use or not they were still pretty amazing symbols of how far CGI has come. And who could hate CGI leia=((

    I don't get why anyone would have an issue? Tarkin again...on film...fantastic! I always thought he was the best villain :cool:

    Right? and yes I totally agree! Even in CGI he still came across so evil and chilling

    Some say the CGI made Takin less human & more monstrously evil.

    You may fire when ready - Tarkin
    FIRE! - Krennic

    If you are going to be blasted by the DS, at least with Tarkin you will go with class.
