12 Movie Moments That Pissed Fanboys Off The Most In 2016
12. CGI Moff Tarkin - Rogue One
There were rumours for months ahead of Rogue One's release that Peter Cushin's Grand Moff Tarkin would be resurrected thanks to cutting-edge CGI, but nobody could've expected him to appear quite so much in the prequel, to the point that it actually distracted from the rest of the movie.
Stand-in Guy Henry does a great job mimicking Cushing's signature vocal cadence, but the visual effects just aren't up to a high enough standard to be believable. It didn't help that Gareth Edwards shot many of his scenes in close-up, when something with more mid-shots and low-key lighting probably would've disguised the digital seams a little easier.
As cool as it was to see the character again, fans are heavily divided on whether his inclusion was ultimately a good idea, given that the quality of the CGI ended up becoming one of the film's big talking points.
