#3It was not very impressive to say the least. It looked fake the second it appeared on screen.

#4I enjoyed Rouge One a lot despite of all that. It was my favorite of all the recent Star Wars movies.

Mandalorian Season 2 spoilers below.
This article looks relevant: “How Star Wars Deepfake Seriously Improves Luke Skywalker Cameo in The Mandalorian” - the youtuber that did that eventually got hired by ILM. There is also an example with Tarkin.

Not super surprising to me.
I've only seen episode 8. And that was enough for me to be completely uninterested in seeing any new Star Wars media.

Agree, it was by far a much better story line and set of characters than The Force Awakens and so on. I generally like a lot of the series on Disney+ and get the sense you have a few different creative teams pushing this stuff.

8 has a few low points but overall I think it was great tbh. Took some risks and tried to get away from the importance of “who your parents are”/general “great man” nonsense a lot of heroic epics lean on.
9 on the other hand…oof. Don’t watch that.
