I'm so stealing this.
 
There's "returning to its roots" and "using the same old, tired, roots." There's plenty of roots to return to without reusing old ones (aside from Spock) with the Pike era. Why play the Kirk Card so soon? Kirk should be the last thing we see in the series and even then I'd say he's silent and we only see him from behind, probably only done with some kind of CGI creation/manipulation so that there's no doubt it's Shatner.

But, sure. Burn that card in S2 with Vampire Diaries guy.
You really thought the show that recast EVERYONE and reimagined EVERYTHING would have done a CG Shatner at any point?

Star Wars: We have such a knowledge of CGI, we can keep the nostalgia you care about from dying! We have the power to save the nostalgia you love. You must choose!

Star Trek: Don't listen to them!
 
He's a genre name because he had a long stint on one long running TV series - "The Vampire Diaries".

And it should also be noted that, if someone didn't watch The Vampire Diaries, the someone probably have never heard of him. I'm one of those someones. Let's face it -- CW shows aren't really world-class talent factories.
 
Eh, it's getting better but I'm still not sold. Maybe the next pass at Luke will convince me.
It's only noticeable to people who know Mark Hamill is currently 70 years old. Someone I watched Boba Fett with who's relatively new to Star Wars (and doesn't know about the production timeframes and all that) had no idea anything was wrong with Luke.
Disney hasn't done anything legally or morally dubious about CGI Luke, Mark Hamill was fully onboard. Legally they're in the clear with CGI Tarkin, and as far as morally well they did get Cushing's estate's approval.

I agree if an actor or their estate says no, that's the end of discussion and recast. But Disney hasn't done anything against their wishes yet.

I 100% agree with you. I'd never heard of this guy before either.

I described him as I did based on his filmography on Wikipedia, and comments some other people is made in this thread.
