I’m decently familiar with deepfakes and I totally didn’t notice Tarkin being off when I saw Rogue One in theaters. I was like, “Wow, that actor has barely aged a day since the original trilogy. Good for him.” I later learned about it being special effects and was like “Damn, they did a good job. Totally fooled me.”
Like, I can see it when I look at it now, only after being told. But the first time, on the big screen? Didn’t notice at all.
I’ve seen some really neat deepfakes over the years. One of my favorites replaces Jack Nicholson with Jim Carrey in “The Shining”, so the creepiness kinda helps, lol
