I thought the Tarkin CGI was really well done. I actually really like the actor they got to play him, even though we never saw his face. But the Leia bit at the end looked bad and wrong. They shouldn't be trying to make another actress look like her, they should've just recast her outright. It's not like we won't recognise the hairstyle.

I gotta be honest, if it hadn't been for all the fuss kicked up over the Leia cg too then I'd have believed it was some found footage of young Carrie from ANH. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I did not spot the "obvious" CGI on the screen. Well, the tentacle beast looked fake as shit and ripped off from American Dad's Majestic, but apart from that it was okay.

ayrt

Huh. Because to me she didn't really look CGI (like Tarkin did) but more like they'd stuck a fake Leia head on someone else's body. Like a Bratz doll or something. It just look weird to me.

I think the tentacle beast was pretty silly and pointless. I've decided it's because they wanted to bring home that Saw was as extreme as he was being portrayed but they didn't want to have him "kick the puppy".

You know, where Bodhi was the movie's puppy. And everybody knows that the bad guy is irredeemably evil if he kicks a puppy so they couldn't have Saw be the one to do the interrogation personally and have the audience believe he was still a good (more or less) guy.

Personally, I think they could've done just as well with a sort of, "this is [name], his species was nearly wiped out and the rest enslaved by the Empire. He's not a very forgiving [alien] and if you are truly an Imperial, he will make certain of it." And then have Bodhi taken away for interrogation with some screaming in the background. Saw still isn't kicking the puppy personally, there's no stupid tentacle beast CGI, and we have plenty of reason for why Bodhi is so shell-shocked later on.

I honestly didn't mind Leia, either. I mean, obviously it was CGI - 100% of the movie's audience is going to know that, so it's not going to convince people otherwise no matter how good it is. It looked like her, it was obviously her, idk. It was only like a five second clip so it really wasn't long enough to be distracting for me.

Yeah, I didn't even realize Tarkin was CGI till I saw stuff about it afterward.

That said, I do feel like we could've done just as well without CGI Leia. We could've seen her in silhouette and we would've known who it is and nothing would have been lost.

I was the opposite, finding Takin too Uncanny Valley, while I thought the Leia shot went by so fast that it didn't really matter (although I was actually surprised she turned around and we saw her face at all - it's not like we wouldn't have understood who that was).
