It’s just a somewhat blurry deepfake, nothing horrible.Sorry, but even if deepfake (or whatever the technique used for the show is called) is fine for funny videos on YouTube, I expect something better from a streaming/television show or movie.
They should have used a different actor without any CGI nonsense. It was bad in Rogue One, and even worse in Mandalorian.
Well, I would personally disagree. I think the deepfake looked much better than the typical “funny videos on YouTube,” and I think it was the best option for the scene. Luke needs to be instantly recognizable as Luke, especially when the dialogue doesn’t even mention his name. If they recast, I’m sure a lot of people would walk away with the impression that he was just some random Jedi, which is probably not the impression the creators would want.
I agree. While I’m fine with the Sebastian Stan recast, I’d still want to see it touched up with a deepfake to look exactly like Mark Hamill. It’s the same problem I have with Solo. Harrison Ford is who registers as Han Solo for me, so when I see the new actor, it completely sucks me out of the movie.
