Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher — Page 6

Furthermore, in the case of Tarkin, he distracted from the primary villain: Krennick.

I would say the main villain was supposed to be Tarkin all the way, and then Krennick was created just because by the very premise of this movie, the villain would have to be defeated and shown as incompetent, and going by his rank, position and reputation in ANH, Tarkin wouldn’t have been the case.

However, a Star Wars movie centered around the Death Star one week before the beginning of ANH without any trace of Tarkin would have raised a lot of questions as well.

I think the solution they found to solve this issue was, among many other things, elegant, regardless of how good CGI was.

He’s a computer program so he won’t age at all. :p

^This.

And it all depends really, when it comes to CG. I still say Jurassic Park looks stunning to this day. I think RO’s Tarkin will age fine.

Good points. I think the lighting in the Tarkin scenes lends itself to the CGI and its aging well. Leia’s scene perhaps not as much.

It was brief enough that it worked, though. She may not have looked exactly like Carrie (as I understand it, the actress’s eyes shined through to prevent the “dead eye” effect), but from what I remember seeing she didn’t look like she wasn’t a real human. Tarkin’s did for brief moments, usually with more complex movements as he turned about and such.

I saw the movie with someone who is not familiar with Cushing or Tarkin, and they didn’t question it being a real person for the first few scenes. Leia obviously stood out as everyone knows Princess Leia.

Regardless of how advanced cgi technology is, I think it would be a mistake to include leia as a significant character in 9 if it could only be done that way.

Another solution is to use CGI effects…"‘Rogue One’ is the road map," says one “Star Wars” source, referring to Lucasfilm resurrecting Peter Cushing and making Fisher young again in the current hit.

It sounds like their plan is to double down on the video game cutscenes. Maybe PIXAR can take over at some point.

Tarkin was totally believable to me. Fantastic work. But Leia is the one I have a problem with. Just her one short scene still was off for me. It was her mouth - they didn’t quite get it right.

I think murderers should die in the exact same way they murder their victims

Seeing as how Disney is undoubtedly not going to wait until the technology is ready I hope they at least can touch up the CGI characters in subsequent releases of the films that implement this technique…which could be every damn one of them for all we know.

I always take anything from a “source” with a grain of salt.

I think they could beautifully write in Leia’s death to serve as a tribute to Carrie Fisher and an emotional sendoff for the fans for both the character of Leia and Carrie Fisher.

What? Debbie Reynolds died from a stroke.

Don’t know how much Star Wars could benefit of playing with the fourth wall that way. Kilo being a Darth Vader fan that is shown in his intimacy speaking to a mask almost tore it down.

I hope they let Leia be Leia, and give the character a logical conclussion to its arc, whatever they decided it to be; and let us grieve Carrie in the real world where she belongs.

You’re hurting my brain.

How so? You quoted Duracell, who was talking about Debbie Reynolds dying after Carrie died. What the heck are you talking about?

I was making a general statement so reading your post it seemed to me that you were accusing Debbie of being a killer. Or maybe that’s by weed addled mind.

This explains a lot I see.
