Even if it’s not such a great looking Tarkin, I would have loved to see more of him in ROTS. Just a couple of scenes, nothing more.
For me personally it would have been cool if he had some type of impact on advancing the Grand Plan of the Sith. Would make him being a Grand Moff more impactful because we see how he got there.

Why, CGI?
Some simple prosthetics or make-up could age Jimmy Smits quite easily.
I’m okay with makeup but screw prosthetics
Well, that’s just one example of some bad prosthetics.
There’s been many good, and subtler, examples;
(Even the first picture of Meryl Streep above has her wearing some small prosthetics. Lucas, for whatever reason, just decided to slap as much latex as he could onto Wayne Pygram in ROTS.)
Actually that doesn’t look too bad. The FX team seems like they know what they’re doing so they could probably make it work.
