As someone who does CG for a living, I'm actually very forgiving of most dodgy CG in movies. But sometimes I feel like there's no excuse for it, given the budget of the film and pedigree of the people working on it. That said, I don't think they did a great job with either of those Cg humans. Peter Cushing was almost cartoonish looking in real life, but the version they created for Rogue One looked like something from a video game cutscene.
Carrie Fisher was freaky looking too. I don't think we're at the place yet where it's fully convincing, but it could have been better. A few years ago there was a commercial with a CG Audrey Hepburn that looked better than Rogue One.
Still a good movie though.
It really wouldn't have bothered me if they just let Guy Henry (the stand in for the CG) do the job himself. He looks a little like Peter Cushing, and they could have pushed that further with makeup -- and he's also a pretty damn good actor.
Ok, back then I thought this looked amazing but standards are higher now. It looks OK
maybe when they finally get this stuff right, we can have a buddy western starring John Wayne, Bruce Lee and Elvis.
