I actually said “Oh no” out loud before she actually said it. I think had this been like 5-10 years in the future it would have been seamless. CGI Tarkin was right near the peak of the uncanny valley but he couldn’t come down the other side.
Even though I think it was premature to pullout the use CGI to bring back old characters thing, it does set an interesting precedent as this will be utilized quite a bit in the future. Maybe we could get ST prequel movies instead of novels. I sure hope not.
