My wife and I watched the #RogueOne: A #StarWars Story Blu-ray last night. Terrific story-telling. But, whoever thought that CGI Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia were a good idea are sadly mistaken. Exceptionally poor representations of the deceased actors that diminish the story. Such a pity. If you've seen the movie, do you agree?

@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).
