I am.
I understand it's pretty much the only way to recreate Tarkin for this movie, but it was straight up unsettling for me to see him and an actual person on the screen at the same time and for him to stick out like a sore thumb like that. I don't care how good the CGI was, it was blatantly obvious and weird to look at, next to actual human beings.
No, it wasn't. That's quite a self-cantered view, the majority of the audience at the screening I went to didn't realise he was CGI because unlike us, they weren't aware the original actor had died.
Yes, if you look close enough you can tell, but it wasn't so bad that everyone in the audience could clearly tell he was CGI, and certainly not so bad that it ruined any immersion.

Why is that so difficult to understand? If you don't go into it knowing he's CGI, you don't look for the distinguishing features. I'll admit in his first scene it was clear as day to me, but later on in the film when he was less central to the shots it wasn't difficult to put the CGI out of my mind and see him as a real person.
My husband spotted he was fake, because he knows Peter Crushing is dead, but my brother had no idea mmm
Just got back! Was pretty good, I have a few minor issues but it was great. Tbh if I didn't know Peter was dead, I would have for sure thought it was actually him.
The same with Red and Gold leaders, they looked pretty spot on.
I also like they acknowledged the Rebellion wasn't all shiny and goody goody, maybe I missed some EU stories but it always bothered me that the Rebellion did nothing bad and always did 100% the right thing all the time to do their mission and fight the Empire. That's completely unrealistic even for SW.
