I’m sure they already had the Kylo model around for certain stunts and scenes anyway, likely 3D scanned from Driver in costume, even.
Not that I don’t agree, but damned if some of this stuff isn’t getting nearly seamless.
Yep. Also figure they wanted to keep the performance as Driver’s, not someone else (I know it might seem silly for a small shot but still). Not to mention with Gleeson in the shot they’d have to do some compositing anyway to put in a double.
Fact of the matter is, it’s practically impossible to tell that it’s digital, so I’m not sure who really cares.
