I like the Marvel films for the most part, but it's starting to become a monster that the filmmakers having a more and more difficult time controlling. At last count, there were damn near 30 characters (good or bad) still alive between all of the films - Cap, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Widow, Hawkeye, Spidey, War Machine, Falcon, Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, Bucky, Vision, Dr. Pym, Scarlet Witch, Maria Hill, Starlord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Yondu, Thanos, Loki, Black Panther, Odin, Nebula, Gen. Ross, Hiemdall, not to mention they are adding more characters to the fray like Wasp, Captain Marvel, Vulture, Hela, Mantis, etc. Oh, and I neglected to include all of the characters from the shows like Agent Colson, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher, etc. I'm sure I probably missed some names. It can get exhausting. When you start dealing with a character list of this magnitude that only seems to be growing at an exponential rate, I fear the Infinity War films are going to be so overloaded with characters that it'll be tough to tell whats actually going on.

I figured they spent more time on Tarkin than Leia since his role was bigger. It wasn't perfect, but it was good. Red and Gold leader were unused takes from ANH that they found.
Here's an article on some of the reshoots. While not verified in the article, some of the rumored changes mentioned in the comments section are interesting.

Yeah, the article I read said they just happened to find footage of red and gold leader when Edwards was touring Skywalker Ranch and they decided to use it in the film. I assume Porkins and Wedge weren't in that footage or else they would've been in the movie too.
Really ticked off that this last one especially featured a big full figured lady yet there was no damn porkins anywhere. Not even a hint. Losing patience with this stupid she-man thing they got going with no damn porkins. It's gay as hell.
Still don't like that Rey character. I like Rogue 1 chick, but that Rey chick is a ****** Jedi. Hate her guts and hope she gets her chest stepped on till she can't breathe anymore
I wish I had known that Tarkin was a cg character before I went to see this film. I spent the entire time trying to figure out why that dude didn't look like he was at least 100 years old. He was old in the movie that I saw as a kid nearly 40 years ago. Thought it was either a different character or a Jedi mind trick.
I though the movie was ok. Bunch of throw away characters that had to die.

Loved the movie.
I thought it was extremely well done and filled in a lot of the gaps before ANH.
Didn't know going in that Tarkin was CGI. But he looked like an moderately improved Polar Express person.
X Wings had trouble performing in the cold temps on Hoth.

Forest Whitaker: I want to be Darth Vader.
Gareth Edwards: Sorry, that part has already been cast.
Whitaker: Can you at least dress me up inside a makeshift fridge and give me a breathing problem that I need a mask for? That will make me more menacing.
Edwards: You're playing a good guy, Forest.
Whitaker: MENACING

The fact they didn't have to cgi Mon Mothma and found an actress that looks dead on like the original is incredible.

The same actress actually played her in Episode III, although her dialogue scenes were cut and she can only be seen in the background of the final film. She aged perfectly into the role. She looks a little younger (a quick look up looks like the original actress was about 10 years older when she played the part), but there's a four year gap between the time of Rogue One/ANH and ROTJ.
Not sure how hi-def 32 bits feels on my balls, but hell, why not.
I would say the small age difference from the Rogue One version and Jedi version can be attributed to the 4 years and the stress of running a rebellion during that time.

Great call! I thought same thing.
The affect of aging from running a galaxy-wide rebellion has to be more than being US President, and look at the last 8 years for Obama. It's ridiculous.
Whenever I look at that Rey actress, I can't help but stare at her huge teeth. Her parents should have just named her Seabiscuit. And you just know that she can't give proper oral with those tombstones in the way. I hope that she mistakes her light-saber for her ********.
