Though it has been done before, the
recent Star Wars movie, Rogue One, has really brought something to
people's attention in a very big way—actors and actresses can
appear in films without actually being there, through the magic of
computer generated images (CGI) and other special effects. Rogue One
SPOILER: The actor that played Governor Tarkin, Peter Cushing, died
23 years ago in 1994, starring in the first (episode 4) Star Wars
film back in 1977, yet he had a number of scenes in Rogue One. Carrie
Fisher had a brief appearance in Rogue One, appearing as her 21
year-old self from the 1977 film. In the recent Fast and Furious 7
film, actor Paul Walker died halfway through shooting the film, so he
was replaced by CGI and body doubles. The 2015 release of Terminator:
Genisys featured a young CGI Arnold Schwarzenegger from the original
1984 Terminator film. All of this brings up a lot of questions for
actors and actresses in an age where technology can reproduce them
convincingly onscreen, and the implications are starting to send
shock waves through the acting community in Hollywood...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
