John Wayne’s Revenge

In the year 2016, Disney released Rogue One, a standalone installment in the Stars Wars saga. One of the more remarkable aspects of the film was the large role played by Peter Cushing ... because Peter Cushing is decidedly dead.

But through the magic of computer-generated imagery (CGI), Cushing’s Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin returns, in full, flowering villainy. Which raises some interesting questions, especially about the future. Which happens to be where our story takes place.
