We recently detailed the process through which Industrial Light and Magic recreated Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and a young Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but a new video from ABC's Nightline has now provided a behind-the-scenes look at the amazing work that went into recreating the likenesses of the two actors.

While the reception to the the computer generated faces (notably Tarkin's) have been mixed, there's no doubt that some great effort and attention to detail went into making them a reality! Be sure to watch the video and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

@NoMeaning45 - Felt the same way. The reveal was a wow moment. Then she spoke, and it was ruined.
