In the end credits I saw Alan Tudyk and thought 'I didn't see him'? I guessed then he might have been the voice for K2-SO. Had to get home and google it. I have to be honest,I didn't expect to see a or a right at the end but boy was that fantastic

Just back from seeing this with two of my grand kids, they both loved it and said it was the best SW film yet and totally eclipsed Force Awakens. However they did both say one thing I agreed with in that... The Peter Cushing footage was solidly in the uncanny valley, it felt creepy to me also knowing that he had passed on didn't help, and the voice of Vader, it's inflections didn't seem to match the action going on I really quite enjoyed it, apart from the discomfort mentioned above, I have mentioned before that we have intermissions about 1hr into the film here and that disrupts your immersion into the film and they always seem to pick a spot where there is no natural break, they just chop a scene and leave you for 10 minutes and by that time you are out of the action. It was our annual pilgrimage to the cinema with the grand kids, today there were 8 of us, the young ones went with my wife and sister in law to see: Sing, Ghost Rockers, and Trolls, while I took the older two to see Rogue One.

I was OK with it. I was hugely distracted at first, but also amazed. To me, it was so convincing that after a few minutes I assumed they had simply found some actor who looked exactly like him :/ I think many of the complaints about "obvious CGI" come about when what you're seeing can only be CGI it's in the same vein as "I can always tell a fake dinosaur" everyone I know who don't really know who is didn't see a thing out of place.

The only issue I had with the Peter Cushing CGI was in some close ups his lips appeared a bit "off" while speaking. Otherwise it was very, very good.
Princess Leia at the end however just looked really "off" altogether.

Ah, but my grand kids didn't know who the actor was and they still brought it up as looking odd, on the drive from the cinema to the restaurant the grand daughter was the one that first commented on it and she is not that big a star wars fan either.

The thing I don't get is that they could have easily roto'ed her image in from some footage in the OT. I guess it was all to make her say a single word of dialogue...

I wonder if they had two "teams" working on the graphics. I don't know how one could be pretty good and one character so un-professional looking. Broke my suspension of belief. PC looked ok when he was looking directly at the camera, but when the head turned away the facial image stretched and lost the shape of PC's head, that caught my attention and then that made me look so much closer to the image and thinking "Was it CGI or did they find an actor that looked a little like PC in only one direction" With 8 of us going to the movies I bought a 10 use 100 day card for 84, card gives you 10 tickets that can be used over 100 days, the normal cost of entrance is 10.50 so for 8 of us it was going to be 84 any way and now I still have 2 tickets left to use over the next 3 months. Kids and adults pay the same, and if the film is 3D then it is another 3 on top, there was no 3D of Rogue One at the time we wanted to go.

The Hateful Eight had an intermission. But, I guess that's Tarantino :/
