The execution wasn't the best compared to the de aging stuff we got. Felt videogamey

Yen - really awesome.

Good fun.

Can't disagree more on Tarkin/Leia. Tarkin's first scene takes some getting used to but I think it's rather amazing. It's also a very different prospect to de-aging because it's building a different bone structure.

It's hard to really appreciate the de-aging technology, because if we can resurrect Peter Cushing from the dead with pixels, then what do we even need actors for? The only times that I've ever been impressed with de-aging CGI was Michael Douglas in Ant-Man and Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War, but the scenes themselves felt tailored made to give an excuse to use the CGI. In this case, it really does help more for the story, but in all honesty, I would have preferred just a look-alike actor.

Donnie Yen was my favourite character from the team, and gets the funniest line in the movie.
When they're putting bags over everybody's heads: "Why do I need this? I'm blind."

Um, because it's actually Guy Henry playing the part

If your theatre has the Dunkirk prologue (full list has been announced) - yes
