We are a couple of months removed from the triumphant return of the
Star Wars franchise with The Force Awakens. It has become the biggest
domestic hit in U.S. history and we have firmly stepped into the era of
The Force. Lucasfilm and Disney currently has at least three Star Wars
films in various stages of production including Episode 8, Rogue One,
and the Han Solo spin-off. While the average moviegoer is unaware of
this grand plan, even the rabid fanbase is largely in the dark about where the new films are headed. (Spoilers ahead)
In July 2015, That Hashtag Show's broke the scoop that there would be
the presence of what were formerly called Shadow Troopers in Rogue One.
Last week their trustworthy JoBlo, gave a report which aligned with the
info our sources obtained last summer. The latest bit of information
that we have obtained is really interesting and gives a more focused
look at some fan favorite characters. Last August, The Daily Mail ran a
interesting scoop that sounded too strange to be true at the time. They
reported that Grand Moff Tarkin would return in Rogue One and that
LucasFilm would be digitally recreating Peter Cushing in the film.
After some digging we have gotten confirmation, from our same source
that tipped us that Admiral Ackbar would appear in The Force Awakens,
that the scoop was correct. Grand Moff Tarkin will indeed return to the
big-screen and will be recreated using the miracle of CGI.
We all know
this technology has been used before; like in Fast and Furious 7 for
Paul Walker and to convincingly make Michael Douglas younger in
Ant-Man. There is concept art of Tarkin for Rogue One, along with Darth
Vader, on the bridge of the Death Star and the execution of his CGI
character has been explained as being one of the most expensive
renderings ever. We don't know who will be playing Tarkin, but,
something interesting our source told us is that the Rogue One CG IS
for the original actor behind Grand Moff Tarkin, Peter Cushing. It's
unclear why they have chosen to go this complicated route, over simply
recasting an actor who could breathe new life into the character.
However, it is the direction the production has decided to take. Now we
wait until December, to see just how all this works, and hopefully the
amazing RETURN of Peter Cushing as Tarkin.
