@jangles I thought is was pretty good in both cases, though I was slightly more 🤔 about Leia than Tarkin. Her complexion was just a tick too porcelain, you know?
After the fact I found myself wanting to know how audience members would have reacted if they hadn't known the characters/actors.
Like, we know Peter Cushing is dead, and that's not him, so we automatically go into hypersensitive mode. Likewise we know that's not Carrie Fisher (RIP).

@emdeesee good points. After I saw the film at the cinema when it came out, I asked friends who I know hadn't seen the original film, either at all or for many years, what they thought. Everyone had negative comment about the CGI characters, ie, that they were so obviously unreal. My view on that massively reinforced when I saw the Blu-ray yesterday
