The image they had of her in the last film did not look much like her. Hope they find someone who can draw better.

The tech is still in its infancy. Give it a few years and you won't be able to tell the difference.

Interesting technology at play here. Lots of strange ways this could play out.

They recreated Peter Cushing for his Grand Moff Tarkin role and he's been dead for over 20 years. As the technology progresses, many families might find new value in licensing the digital recreations of their dead relative movie stars. Posthumous digital renderings may become a part of the contract that living actors sign.

And why stop with dead actors? Living actors may find it's easier to license their digital likenesses as opposed to actually going out and act. The possibilities are endless. Old and over the hill 70-something? No problem! Just license the good-looking 22-year old digital recreations of yourself that made you famous in the first place.

This tech is going to be groundbreaking. Of course it's Lucasfilm behind it.
