Really? I thought they did a great job - Not as good as Tarkin, but still looked just like a younger Carrie. The R1 Leia really does seem to divide people. you either like it or loathe it.

I think the fake CGI look affects some people more than others. Fortunately she had very little screen time, that's the best thing I can say about it. Tarkin on the other hand was diabolical and really ruined any immersion for me. It looks great when you look at screen shots of it, I've seen a split image of the Tarkin CGI morphed with Cushing and it was so close to the real actor. But when you put that CGI file on screen among real actors, and real sets, it all goes to pot big time.

And Marmite is vile...

Bespin Luke is the Luke PF I'd been holding out for all these years. That said the focus of my collection has changed drastically over time and I'm extremely picky when it comes to PFs now. There was a time I'd be all over this but now I'm not so sure. If the final product blows me away I'll certainly consider it if it's reasonably priced.

I have to disagree, Tarkin was mind blowing IMO. I was stunned how well they integrated the CGI into the scenes... CGI Leia on the other hand was more obvious but it was still cool to see on screen.

That's fine, but We definitely disagree on Tarkin...
