This de-aged Anakin showed up on my feed today:

It’s certainly going in the right direction.
I mean it looks janky and smooths out his face too much. If this was what Lucasfilm did, then there would be outrage for the overuse of CGI.
I’d rather have Hayden himself just do it, as it doesn’t really matter since he still looks youngish.
To be clear, the person who made this said it was their first time using deepfacelab…so yes it’s a bit janky. Plus the video doesn’t look quite high rez so that doesn’t help either.
I’m sure someone out there (cough shamook cough) can make a better one.
The scene is pretty great…and I can certainly watch it and enjoy it for what it is. At the same time, the visible age difference with Anakin is a bit distracting and I personally would like to see someone tackle a de-aged version again.
Hmm…I wonder if, because of the prequels being shot at 1080p (right?) that Lucasfilm didn’t have enough high rez material to work from to pull off a deepfake? Maybe?
