Episode III Tarkin looked somewhat ghastly though.
Yeah, I agree that looks terrible. I meant just a different actor without any prosthetics.
For instance when Richard Harris died, WB didn’t get a guy that looked like Richard Harris to play Dumbledore. They just cast a different actor who brought his own interpretation to the role. Incidentally I intensely disliked Michael Gambon’s portrayal of Dumbledore, but that’s not the point.
