Final Chance


SPOILERS


Rouge One features a sub plot that focus on a power struggle between the villain played by Ben Mehdelson and Gran Moff Tarkin, all Star Wars buffs know that the role Tarkin was played in the original Star Wars film by Peter Cushing who died in 1994.  Guy Henry whose credits include numerous Harry Potter films, Holby City and V for Vendetta takes on the role of Tarkin in Rouge One but his face is grafted over with that of Cushing while he delivers the limes. This is a bit of distraction for those clear memories of Cushing's performance as a different voice comes out of his face. If you look at photos of Henry you will find a close resemblance to Cushing that you have to wonder why the filmmakers use CGI instead of prosthetics to create an image of Cushing and avoiding unnecessary confusion.
