I wonder how this would have played out using deep fake technology

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.

It is definitely better but it still has the problem of the original where his face just looks so stiff when he speaks.

It also looks like his face is sort of floating superimposed over the front of his head. I feel like I notice that a lot with deepfake stuff, it’s like the generated patch they’re compositing overtop doesn’t quite move at the same rate as the rest of the thing.
