A Star Wars fan uses deepfake technology to update Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill, Max Lloyd-Jones) [...]
Slide 1
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!
Someone should have told Jon Favreau that when they were making Chapter 16 of #TheMandalorian, they had Sebastian Stan as an option to play Luke Skywalker instead of using CGI. Im not sure, but I think @HamillHimself would have been ok with it as well. pic.twitter.com/uzwbMGvdOy

This CGI Luke Skywalker does not look good at all. It looks like some guy had plastic surgery to look like Mark Hamill. But eh, he's there I guess pic.twitter.com/1uof8P8Kt8

I just spent the last hour bawling my eyes out over this scene. I don't care how questionable the CGI was, this is the Luke Skywalker we all deserved to see return in all his epic glory! #TheMandalorian pic.twitter.com/VLEQwZ5iMR

I liked so much the chapter of today to #TheMandalorian But...
I don't understand why Lucasfilm decided spend money on CGI for Luke Skywalker when Sebastian Stan just exists
(btw, is nice that Lucasfilm continue having in count to Mark Hamill) pic.twitter.com/BMeKkoUqva

Personally I'd rather than recast or sort of obscured his face. Loved the scene but the weird uncanny valley CGI face is distracting just like in rogue one

Slide 9
I'm not a fan of deepfake Luke Skywalker. There's a million young actors that could've been Luke, why spend potentially millions on voice tech and CGI when you could make someone's career?

Why would they use CGI if you can cast Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker. The CGI is so bad for me. Just saying pic.twitter.com/H8rrGNnqlt
