These guys fix that famous Mandalorian special effect (spoilers):

So as good as the young Luke looked at the end of Season 2, it still didn't look quite right. These guys did their own deep fake to improve the visual effects and it is really impressive. The whole video outlining how they did it is interesting, but the video starts where they reveal the final product if that's all you want to watch.

Interesting. It wasn't perfect, but it seemed much improved to me.

The emotion in the face was 100% better and the eyes were a million times better

To me it just struck me even more that it was fake.

The Disney version looked like a video game version

The special effects looked better and more realistic in the Mandalorian than it did in the (spoiler?)

What this all goes to show is that we're still at least 5-10 years away from...

Maybe, 1993 Jurassic Park still looks better than nearly all current CGI

My issue is the lighting is still off on their version.

I think if Disney would have done it this way it would have been convincing.

I liked how at the end they say this is basically a resume to Disney. They'd love to try with Disney's resources.

Yeah, maybe with Disney's resources it would look a lot better

Just recast actors. If the story is good, people will accept it.

Sebastian Stan has my vote if they do.

It is eerie how similar they look.
