I totally understand why one was in there - even if it failed on a realism level, the other one not so much. Both of them represented moments of nostalgia, but I really can't see this being utilised in any meaningful way for a full character arc in future instalments. Mark |

The Star Wars franchise does have a bit of history when it comes to characters appearing via hologram, so maybe that's a solution. |

People hate this. Seriously, the vitriol being blurted out by morons on this very subject is mindnumbing. |

The hologram effect can hide a multitude of sins. I am reminded that in his review of this film, Mr Biffo correctly pointed out that a TV show (which will have a much lower budget per episode than a Star Wars film) managed to pull off a merging of old and new, get it seamless and believable. He was, of course, referring to Star Trek: DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations. That or they’ll have to properly kill off Leia and introduce/revive a character that can step in. Bet they wish they hadn‘t killed off Han Solo now. |

Recasting would be a lot less financially extravant compared to either a CG character or hologramming someone. I would be very surprised if they killed her character off. Mark |

But the wailing and teeth gnashing if they recast would be quite spectacular. Admittedly they'll be pilloried either way by a certain proportion of the fan base whatever they do. |

Apparently Hollywood stars are now rushing to protect their image so it can't be used as CGI after their deaths |

He can't. He's dead. Joking aside he did do it |

Newsnight last night had a segment on this - discussing the issues behind using an actor’s likeness after they have died. Worth a watch in iPlayer. |

Can't you just tell us the highlights? |

Finally got to see this last night with Oli. Both of us really quite enjoyed it. I remain on the fence regarding the CGI characters, the one you see more of seemed a more valid use, the second, rather fleeting appearance felt a lot more gratuitous imho. |

It's not a particularly new phenomenon as it was apparently used in one of the Fast and Furious films with Paul Walkers character and it was also done in Gladiator and one of The Crow films. It's also worth a mention that in Ep. IX Carrie Fisher was set to play an even larger role than what she does in Ep. VIII, I'm not sure if there's a virtual model of the person in her older years that could be utilised. Mark |
