What, no harangue "What's this got to do with progressive rock?" posts, often immediately after the first post of an article and even if it may involve a musicians 

Nice to see such a situation as maybe people would like to read something like this even if it takes away from the times of others who only want to read prog related stuff

I remember her in the Blues Brothers.  Yet another terrible loss.  And Richard Adams too.  Cry

Am I the only one who remembers her for being the "evil ex-girlfriend" in the Blues Brothers? Ermm

Tarkin was already creepy in the original movie LOL I think it was impressive, the level of detail, the lighting. The movement could be more subtle though.

I liked it too, it was pretty well done for CGI.   Though I also think a real actor would've worked fine, even the young actor they got for Tarkin in Episode lll made to look older would've been good.

Rogue One is a triumph compared to FA.   It's, oh I don't know, a real Star Wars story - -

Yeah, but at least it was REAL creepy!

Probably over the next few years they'll start perfecting that kind of technology, Samuel. I remember seeing the young Michael Douglas at the start of `Ant-Man', and that looked pretty impressive, but at the same time that was the real actor and they touched his appearance up in post-production afterwards. Pretty sure the Tarkin actor Peter Cushing has been gone for at least twenty years at this point?

Apparently Carrie completed all her scenes for next years SW Ep 8, but I wonder what route they'll choose to take for the eventual ep 9, no idea if it's even started being written yet.

Still, I'm looking forward to an eventual movie that replaces modern tubby Steven Seagal with vintage circa 1991 lean and slim Steven Seagal!

We just saw Rogue One this weekend....My family is big Star Wars fanatics. Essentially she is part of my history as a youth.

RIP Carrie Fisher......and thank you!

I guess you didn't watch Rogue One yet.
