A while back someone deepfaked the CGI Leia scene with footage of the actual Carrie Fisher as Leia in the original Star Wars.

It looked amazing. So amazing I'm surprised the CGI -> Deepfake technique isn't used more often in movies.

Corridor did it and it was a great episode on how deepfakes were progressing (they're muck better now): https://youtu.be/_CXMb_MO3aw?feature=shared

The most prominent difference between "original" and "deepfake" in the footage opening that video (of Tarkin, not Leia) is that the deepfake has much worse lighting.

The second is that the deepfake looks significantly younger.

Rogue One is from 2016. AI-driven deepfake couldn’t do that back then.
