For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

Remember how bad it looked?

Technology improves. It won’t always look that bad.

Remember how disrespectful it was?

As I recall his family was on board with the choice. It didn’t seem disrespectful to me, I was excited to see the character Tarkin show up when I hadn’t expected him to.

Maybe we shouldn't do it again.

Ah yes, as the old adage says, “If at first you don’t succeed, never try again.”

I don't think "if at first you don't succeed" applies here. Like, I'm annoyed they tried once. I think a more applicable adage is "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

With Disney capital to pay for high-end technology that looked amazing, we found the result was passable at best. Peter Cushing's estate, run by his former secretary, said it was okay, but the overwhelming response from audiences was that it was disrespectful.

We know we couldn't, and we know we shouldn't. So let's not.
