Hella fucking epic

Cushing looked pretty good, altough noticably fake. Fisher looked horrible and the space battle looked off. I think that's because it's fully in CG unlike the Original Trilogy.

"The people who took the decision to waste millions of dollars to make the movie worse are being praised for their genius and paid millions , maybe Í should just become the second zodiac killer"

Anyone have screens or webms of the pilots? I honestly didn't notice them when I saw the movie

>peter crushing

oh god that looks bad, why did they do this

>X-Wing Fighters

hella fuckin' epic, but i think that's just because they replayed the clips from ANH rather than traditional CGI

>Carrie Fisher

pic related. the blood magic killed her

Serious question: Who do they pay for these CGI actors? Do they pay the families of the dead actors?

The first scene of Cushing looked odd, but after that everything of him looked pretty good. The most unusual thing about him was his mouth when he talked.

When I saw the back of his head I was bracing myself, wondering if they actually went cgi or with a different actor.
Then I snickered to myself as he turned around.
Got over it and could enjoy him despite looking like a humanlike alien.

I don't think I had any notable reaction for when the x fighter pilots were shown the first time, don't know when they were.

I didn't react that much to fisher. Was thinking about how she died a few days prior.

Liked the movie.

Even though it didnt look 100% right, the nostalgia flood was amazing.

I think they could have been better. Maybe they just rushed the film. Pilots were convincing for me because short clips.
Peter Cushing just seemed off the whole time. Seemed floaty and fake. Felt like watching a ghost. Really I was surprised because I felt they could have done better.
Carrie Fisher looked really wrong to me. Her face seemed more like a porcelain miss piggy than Carrie fisher.

I mean tron legacy and even gladiator had more convincing CG actors.

I felt awkward the entire time Cushing was on screen, but it was at least done in an interesting way.

I honestly was barely paying attention out of boredom during the space battle, so I hardly noticed the Xwing pilots and had to ask about it after the movie.

Carrie Fisher was the most embarrassing piece of writing I've ever seen in a blockbuster.

>Cushing
"Oh my God, I can't believe it"
>X-Wing pilots
"This is awesome!"
>Fisher
"Eh, did they really need to do that?"

I knew about Tarkin and Leia going in, but Red and Gold Leader took me by surprise. Makes sense that they'd be there and the footage was integrated well enough to where it didn't stand out as fake.

It looked like I was watching a CGI model next to live actors. Just have Krennec be the main villain and give Darth Vader more scenes. He wears a mask so he is more or less timeless.

He hit uncanny valley territory imo.

I agree with they were shamelessly using fanservice anyway so they may as well have gone the full stretch and added a few more scenes of Darth vader.

Or better yet, have Tarkin be there via hologram. The distortion would've easily masked any fakeness from the CGI.

It looked much better than I anticipated. If I didn't already know what was going on I probably would have been like a lot of other movie goers and not even realized there were CGI faces.

What impressed me was the voice. He of course didn't sound 100% like Cushing, but it was pretty damn close.

The face was more impressive than the voice. It didn't even sound like they digitally editted the voice actor. They just found someone who kind of sounded like the original actor and plopped it in without any editting.

Fisher always looked like a porcelain Miss Piggy.

See that's pretty fuckin clever.

Was it just me or did Darth Vader sound different? It sounded like they'd added some extra distortion to him. I nearly didn't think it was the same voice.

The voice lacked oomph. James Earl Jones is getting old, and they should've added some extra bass and reverb to compensate.

That's what it was. When I first heard it I was nervous James Earl Jones had died and I'd not heard it.

It might be blasphemous to say this, but they should consider a replacement voice. The guy from Chad Vader has actually voiced the character in various video games, so he'd be a good choice.

I was disappointed but this is where we all know the industry is heading.

...

Was the holiday special canon in the EU?

Wtf m8 where did this meme about my state come from?

It's still canon actually.

I didn't have one I didn't give a single shit.

Seeing Leia made me cry though.

I seem to remember the hologram was the original idea, but when Disney saw the dailies and decided to increase their budget, they basically said "Fuck it, let's go for it"

(OP)
>Peter Cushing
He looked like he'd been sprayed with plastic, but I was still pretty impressed. Voice work was spot on

>X-Fighter pilots
Awesome.

>Carrie Fisher
Oh dear sweet merciful fuck

>they basically said "Fuck it, let's go for it"
Well I can't fault them for their ambition. It was a very impressive special effect, even if the uncanny valley is an insurmountable hurdle.

what the

In the NY Times article that OP's pic is from the filmmakers actually talked about how they considered doing this but decided against it.

Just horribly bad taste, really.

I let out a single tear when I saw Carrie. It was like she was alive again.

>It was like she was alive again.
Pandora's box has been opened. It's too soon for Disney to put her in Episode IX, but in the future we can look forward to actors regularly being dragged from the grave for posthumous roles.

i read that they are already bargaining to have her body scanned for future reference

That's really skeezy. At least Cushing has been dead for two decades; Fisher is barely in the ground and they're already making plans.

>yfw Disney will have the rights of every actor
>they'll be able to CGI them at will even use holograms in the future for those live dance shows they have at the Disneyworld
>family members won't see any penny
Fuckin Walt Disney planned this a long long time ago.

Borderline blasphemy...but I don't think he'll really appear anymore so it's fine.

Cushing looked better in his scenes later in the movie compared to the earlier one. The voice killed it for me. I'm a huge fan of his and if I was going to buy it that had to be perfect. It wasn't.

Walt himself will come back to rule his empire as an immortal cgi man.

>implying they won't just thaw him out from his sarcophagus buried under Epcot

Nigga, like you wouldn't pay top dollar to watch lobot and some ugnaughts b-boying to rappin' holo-lando.

>cast the same people who were in the original trilogy for TFA
>go through all this trouble to CGI Leia and Tarkin, to make them look as close as possible to the actors in the OT days
>"lol recast Han Solo for a young Han Solo movie, who cares! While we're at it, let's also cast the Community guy as Lando Calrissian! People will love it!"

Will the 2018 Adventures of Young Han Solo movie kill Disney's Star Wars' good will with the normies? I don't think they'll buy this literal who as Han Solo.

I actually think Donald Glover as Lando is a neat idea.

Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable

1) He looks like a shiny videogame with too many micro movements but this is actually pretty cool

2) I didn't even notice I just thought they were randos

3) She looks fake af

I just want to see the quirky haircut they give him. El le Newt Salamabnber

I don't know why Krennic didn't just answer directly to Vader. It would give Vader an actual reason to be in the movie instead of just being fanservice and would save money on the CGI. He could even have a throwaway line like "Krennic if you fuck up again I'm giving this project to Tarkin"

I think this movie's a big mistake. They should focus on new stories like rogue one. I'd like to see middle aged Ewan McGregor get to play middle aged Kenobi in a movie or 3 but recasting a character as iconic and central as Han is unappealing to most.

Because Vader is one of the top dogs in the entire Empire while Krennic is a middle manager. Makes sense that he would report to a regional governor like Tarkin, and why Vader was so pissed that he jumped over the entire chain of command just to whine.

Is that where the server he's saved on is?

On film = canon This means the Ewok stories too

this

Testing the waters for cgi characters. They want this franchise to stand the test of time and that requires immortal actors.

20minutes of 2 Wookiees barking at each other is canon. Great.

>bea arthur is canon

He was summoned by Vader, he wasn't the one who requested an audience.

>Vader: "You were not summoned here to grovel."

I stand corrected there, then. However, Krennic was still a mid-ranking officer in charge of a special project, so it still makes sense for Tarkin to be his immediate superior.

I thought it looked bad, like nearly b-movie bad and was amazed they gave Tarkin so much up close screen time. I also thought the vocal impression was inconsistent. Sometimes it was ok and other times he didn't sound like Cushing at all. What also amazed me was that all of that made it into a big budget film.

I mean if it's a special project it makes sense the higher-ups would want to supervise it more directly

>They should focus on new stories like rogue one.
What?

Cushing's family gave them permission. They probably got paid, but I think they just wanted a chance kinda see him again.

You have a point there. Let's just chalk it up to bureaucracy.

They didn't get paid in money but they got to take 'him' home after filming.

Technically, a young Han Solo movie would be more of a "new story" than Rogue One, but yeah, a young Han Solo movie is a mistake. It'll be a meme-filled Star Wars flick that will piss off everyone. People won't tolerate a new guy playing Han Solo, they will fill the movie with references to "Han Solo shot first", "kessel run", "I love you / I know", "mumbo magic" etc. It'll probably take place in Tatooine, since Disney loves to use the same planets over and over again...

tarkin SFM porn when?

The pilots were old, unused footage CGIed into the cockpits.

I meant focused on new characters rather than dealing with the past lives of existing ones. Should have been clearer. Cameos are fine but

I can see it now
>Han's talking to a suspicious guy when the guy pulls out his gun and tries to kill Han, barely missing him
>"Damn, shoulda shot first."

>Han saves Lando's ass and they have a bro moment
>"Hey Han, I love you man"
>"Yeah yeah, I know"
>"I know? That's all I get!?"

>Han passes by some guy in a bar doing magic tricks pretending to be a force user who has attracted a large crowd
>One of the tricks fails and the whole bar laughs at him
>"Knew it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo."

This movie made no sense.

If the US Government finds out that the sole lead techincal engineer for a nuclear sub was a traitor and you have evidence that they sabotaged the thing, YOU WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO USE IT. Death Star should have been put under containment and looked over a thousand times. But its a movie! Fuck that, i preferred it just being a tiny impausible flaw that the reactor could be hit by a 1/10000 shot.

>Harvey Korman is canon

Also his eyes blinking. He reminded me of the old man from the Toy Story films when blinking
