7) Tarkin Takes Control
Perhaps the most controversial moments of Rogue One is the digital recreation of late actor Peter Cushing, who portrayed Death Star commander Grand Moff Tarkin in A New Hope. For his scenes in the movie, Guy Henry played the role on set and was later replaced by an uncanny CG likeness of the departed Hammer horror star.
Some are fans of the process while others think it’s a creepy use of technology and a bit disrespectful. Whatever your feelings on how he was brought back, Tarkin is 100% the character we know and love to hate from the original movie.
His best moment comes when he forcibly takes control of the Death Star from Director Krennic. Now that Krennic has put in all the hard work, Tarkin swoops in when the weapon is completed and claims it as his own effort. In one scene, the character totally overshadows Krennic and shows him who’s boss.
Remember, this guy is one of the few people who can give Darth Vader orders.
