The character?s first appearance elicited gasps from the audience at the New York press screening ??but the real shocker is how much screen time he gets. Though it probably only adds up to a few villainous minutes, Tarkin?s role is a substantial one. And while CGI has been used to resurrect dead actors before (the most notable example<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>being Paul Walker in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Furious 7<\/em>), it?s never been done with a major character for such a sustained amount of time.<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>The effect is so groundbreaking that when<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>a report leaked last summer<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>of a CGI Peter Cushing appearing in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Rogue One,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>many outlets flat-out<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>didn?t<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>believe it. Even with significant advances in motion-capture technology (allowing, for example, Robert Downey Jr.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>to play his younger self in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em>), it seemed too daunting a task. But Industrial Light &amp;?Magic?s John Knoll, who came up with the concept for<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Rogue One<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>(and also<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>co-created Photoshop), was confident that it would work.<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>?John was always like ?No we can do this, we can do it, we can do it,?? director Gareth Edwards told<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>RadioTimes. ?To be honest, a lot of people were nervous the whole time, like ?Is this gonna happen?? And then we went all or nothing in.?<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>So ILM set about creating a character based solely on Cushing?s scenes from a single (non-digital) movie. Fortunately, Cushing made plenty of other films ??he?s remembered in particular for his Hammer horror movies ??which reportedly came in handy when the animation team realized they had no footage of Grand Moff?Tarkin?s feet. (Cushing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>often told the story<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>of how the leather riding boots worn by the Imperial troops were too small for his feet, so Lucas agreed to let him wear his house slippers and shoot him from the knees up.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Here?s photo evidence.)<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>?They are going through hours and hours of old footage from the horror movies to recreate his legs and feet to produce realistic movements,? a source<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>tattled to the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Daily Mail<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>last summer. ?It is eerie to see someone who has been dead for so long come to life on a screen.?<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>Still, a motion-capture character?requires an actual actor, whose performance is then transformed by digital animators. (A more traditional example from<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Rogue One<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>is the droid K-2SO, played by Alan Tudyk.) To play Tarkin, Edwards cast Guy Henry, a classically trained British actor who already had a few minor Hollywood baddies on his resume (Heyer in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>V for Vendetta,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>Pius Thicknesse in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2<\/em>). ?It was very gracious of him, because essentially he?s doing this big performance and getting zero credit for it,? Edwards told RadioTimes of his actor. ?He was gonna be totally replaced, and then had to keep it all secret.? (In order to cover its legal bases, Disney also obtained<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>permission from Peter Cushing?s estate, which is managed by his former secretary.)<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>All this top-secret ILM work had one goal: To make it appear as though Peter Cushing has magically returned to reprise his<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Star Wars<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>role. Whether they succeeded is debatable. Without a doubt, Digital Tarkin<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>looks<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>like Cushing. (Disney has not yet released any photos or clips of the digital recreation.) He sounds like Cushing. But he is not Cushing. One of the things that makes Cushing?s original performance so terrifying is how genteel he is. Take a look at the scene in which Tarkin destroys Leia?s home as she watches in horror (below). The cold glint in his eyes is that of a ruthless killer, yet he?s so cordial, almost playful with Leia. Watching him, you?re not sure if you want to cower in a corner or curl up and take a nap inside one of his mellifluous ?r?s.<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'><div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p0qLzsIhUMk?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p id=\"yui_3_18_0_4_1482193973601_5623\" style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>The cartoon Cushing, on the other hand, has none of those beguiling qualities: He is an English-accented attack dog, affixed with a permanent sneer. And the longer he is onscreen, the more two-dimensional he appears (literally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>and<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>figuratively). While a few critics have?complimented<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Cushing? s ?performance,?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>most are finding it<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>distracting at best, an<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>uncanny-valley<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>nightmare<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>at worst. ?Even [Cushing?s character] Baron Frankenstein would have been horrified by?this?kind of grave-robbing,? writes<em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>New York<\/em>?s David Edelstein.<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'><em>Rogue One<\/em>?contains one other can?t-miss-it CGI character whose appearance is more convincing, if only for its brevity. But the effect is far from flawless. Much more satisfying is<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>the reappearance of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Return of the Jedi<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>character Mon Mothma, played by lookalike actress Genevieve O?Reilly (the original performer, Caroline Blakiston, is now an octogenarian). Like Ewan McGregor playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels, O?Reilly adds new dimension to a character whose original appearance was all too fleeting ??and if Lucasfilm isn?t bringing these characters back to make us see them in a new light, then why bother?<\/p>\n<p style='margin: 0px 0px 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;'>Maybe the answer is: Because it?s never been done before. Years from now,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>Rogue One<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>will be noted as a landmark in movie special effects ??and though Tarkin will no doubt look even cruder in retrospect, new animation technology can always be applied later (much like Lucas tweaked the rudimentary Jabba the Hutt character in his Special Edition of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><em>A New Hope<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>between its 1997 theatrical premiere and the 2004 DVD release).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Digital Tarkin may be divisive now, but in 40?years, when Lucasfilm decides to honor?Harrison Ford by pairing off digital Han Solo and digital Indiana Jones for a buddy comedy, no one will blink an eye.
