Do you mean Wayne Pygram who was loaded under heavy makeup in Revenge of the Sith? Or Guy Henry from Rogue One?

I think if you were just to put a dude on camera without effects, Pygram would be the better choice.

I meant Guy Henry.

I watched the making of videos for Rogue One and saw the scenes with him in costume, speaking the lines. He did a really good job.

I wonder how much these Clone Wars/Rebels cameos play with people who have seen the movies but not those shows.

One little thing that I noticed: when Rosarioka looks at the dude she disarms up at the bell tower, the little smirk she gives him is perfect.

I'm making my way through Rebels, so I know Ahsoka, but didn't about Bo-Katan. I mean, I knew that Katee Sackhoff voiced
a character from Clone Wars, so when she showed up, I thought it was pretty cool to see a voice actor playing the live action version,
not "omg it's that character!".

Have some imagination. Sure, Cushing and Fisher's estates signed off on their likenesses so everything is 'legally' above board, but you very quickly get to ghoulish situations like Bruce Lee being used to shill Johnnie Walker whisky when the guy himself was teetotal, because his daughter wanted to make some money, or James Dean being cast in some Vietnam war movie 65 years after his death.

Do we reduce the memory of actresses and actors, their years of experiences allowing them to pour genuine emotion into their performances, to something as simple as how they look? Was Peter Cushing an excellent Grand Moff Tarkin because he was tall and had sunken eyes and gaunt cheekbones, or was it because of his veiled threat and menace hidden under a cold and calculating veneer, that came from a lifetime of acting in sinister roles?

If you're gonna go the digital recreation route for a role like that then it better be absolutely perfect, or just don't bother at all imo, because the only people who can actually appreciate the fact it's the same actor as 40 years prior are also the ones who know it's impossible and will be scrutinising it incredibly closely. It actively hindered my immersion in the movie because I knew it wasn't real, so any scene with him in was spent trying to work out why he looked so nearly real but not, rather than just enjoying the performance.

This is dumb. People who are horror fans but not Star Wars fans will know exactly who the gently caress Peter Cushing is. In fact, he's a much bigger deal in those circles than he is in Star Wars.

his point was that average people in general who don't follow particular nerd subcultures probably don't know who peter cushing is at this point and he's probably right. it's ok man

In legends, iirc cortosis was mostly either used in personal armor or in vibroswords to make them able to parry lightsabers, and even then it was manufactured into an allow because pure cortosis was supposedly brittle as gently caress and useless for stopping anything else.

Starship hulls seem like an unlikely application for it in light of that
