Man, I absolutely loved it. And I KNEW IT as soon as I realized it was only a single X-Wing.
The real question was, was it going to be Sebastian Stan or deaged Mark? I really think they gave him that little bit of stubble right before he removes the hood to really make you think it might be Stan under there before they pull the rug from under you.
The effect itself, not perfect. There are definitely a couple of shots in there that are pretty bad but I think overall it worked.
AND THE VOICE! That is ROTJ era Luke all over! The voice is what impressed me the most.
Man I loved it.
Yeh, i have to say, the way they de-aged his voice was amazing. Completely spot on. Shame the facial effect was so damn jarring. Although i watched it on Disney+ in 2160p HDR, i gave it a second watch, this time through the SKYQ box, which only has Disney+ @ 1080p and it didn’t look half as bad. I don’t know if it was the fact that the initial shock at how bad it looked had passed or the fact that it worked better at 1080p max. But the lip sync was still CG game level bad. And the “dead eyes” … yuk
