You have to suspend belief considering this has never been attempted before (entire episode). I mean I could tell it was CGI and yes his voice was synthesized but it was pretty damn good all things considered. We will just have to agree to disagree. This was a huge accomplishment in terms of FX.
Haven't seen it yet, but the Twitterverse is blowing up about too many appearances not necessarily being a good thing.
It was Mark Hamills voice but they obviously had to de-age it.
I kinda agree here. Particularly for tv shows.I get it for people who want to be constantly surprised and appreciate originality. I just want to see my favorite characters on screen including the animated ones as well. Only makes sense if they are going to play around in this era of the Star Wars timeline. There has been a ton of good feedback as well.

I know it was Hammills voice. That wasn’t my issues. My issue was that Luke sounded like was on about 200 ccs of Valium, talking in what seemed like to me kinda slow motion, which I guess was the result of a massive cut and paste job they did with previous dialogue across multiple sources of previously recorded material from movies, outtakes, etc etc.
Let’s face it though. The Luke from Jedi wasn’t the most dynamic sounding guy either.
Sure. But this literally sounded like someone cut and pasted together to me.
More power to you. I can see where he was monotone and generally not that interesting to listen to, but as an editor I didn’t really think about it. To be fair, in television I tend to concentrate more on story first and then the technical things where movies are the opposite. Although I did notice two instances where the deepfake visuals looked pretty bad.
The voice along with the obvious editing decision to do so much of his dialogue off-camera, just took me out of the moment too much.
Same here. I really couldn't get into this episode due to Luke. There was something about the way they did his voice and matched it to the deep fake that was dissociative. My brain could not buy the illusion they were trying to sell and it kept taking me out of the moment. I think that's why they had to give Ahsoka so much of the exposition too. A lot of her lines would have probably been better coming from Luke but they knew the limitation.
I’ve heard it confirmed for Boba Fett but interesting not for Mando.This is interesting that I just came across. For Luke in Mando (the author hadn't confirmed yet for Book of Boba Fett) that Mark didn't voice it but it was done with software. I wonder if this is something Cheese and myself subconsciously picked up on and it caused our disconnect.

This was horrible.
That's an insult to the word horrible.
