In contrast, some fans believe the CGI is real enough. The performance was so stilted by being CGI.” “To take a great actor like Peter Cushing, and CG him …. “These are probably like PlayStation 6 graphics,” he said. Mike Matei of Cinemassacre described the problem best while reviewing the movie with James Rolfe (otherwise known as the Angry Video Game Nerd). No matter how realistic computer graphics become, the human eye can always tell when something looks fake on screen. It goes without saying there is a debate on the use of CGI in Rogue One though. “I mean ideally, you get the original actors to play these roles, but it’s been 30-odd years since then, and so it’s impossible,” director Gareth Edwards explained for a Radio Times interview. A similar process was used in the film Fast and Furious 7 to recreate the deceased Paul Walker. In post production, Henry and Deila were digitally replaced to resemble Tarkin and Leia. For the purpose of motion capture, actors Guy Henry and Ingvild Deila portrayed the iconic characters during the filming of Rogue One. Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher played the roles of Tarkin and Leia in the original trilogy. For those who cannot afford to see the movie and analyze the CGI characters, someone uploaded a video showing still images. Each character shows up through the wonderful use of computer-generated imagery (CGI).
