I’m going to be completely honest, and it’ll make me sound conspiratorial and a little crazy, but I actually don’t believe anyone that says they “completely” bought the CGI Tarkin. I’ll buy that they didn’t think it was CGI since the idea of using computer animation to insert a deceased actor into a film and give the model a prominent role is still pretty insane to most people, but there’s no way that they didn’t have a thought in the back of their head along the lines of, “This looks weird.”

Not everyone is as sophisticated as we are, mentally dissecting every aspect of a film as we watch. My companions are not horror film fans and were not even aware Peter Cushing was no longer among the living until I brought it up.
Also, I saw R1 in 70mm IMAX twice, not digital. Tarkin held up pretty well, only one or two shots seemed off to me, but I was scrutinizing it more.

As for any ethical issue, Cushing’s estate gave it’s blessing.
