'Rogue One' has never been a favorite of mine though Andor does leave me wanting to revisit it, but the comment about Cushing reminds me that Ben Mendelsohn has a face that would fit so well on a 1970s character actor (what's sometimes called a 'That Guy' face because it seems like you must have seen him in a hundred things before) that, on first viewing, I spent quite a while convinced that he was ALSO a character from the original trilogy who had been CGI'ed into the film and I thought 'well the CGI is working better on that guy than on Cushing." When his character turned out to have such a big role I eventually figured it out, but then I swear I had the same reaction to him in 'Ready Player One'. I know 'looks like you were CGI'ed in from a different movie in an earlier decade' doesn't sound like a compliment but in Mendelsohn's case it is!
