In this episode, Connor and Alex discuss the varied ways the Star Wars has handled the depiction of characters in visual media when the original actor who played them has aged out of the role - from recasting, in the case of Han Solo, to digital de-aging, to wholesale CGI replacement of an actor’s face with a recreation of another actor’s.
In general, our hosts are more in favor of letting a new actor portray the same character rather than using technology to recreate another person’s likeness, and explain their reasons why. Listen now to hear Talking Star Wars’ take on the uncanny valley, AI voice reconstruction, and views on recasting for the same character.
