StarWars fan edit replaces Ewan McGregor with Alec Guinness in ObiWanKenobi deepfake video:
✖ "Well, of course I know him — he's me!" The words of Obi-Wan in the original Star Wars take on new meaning in a deepfake superimposing Alec Guinness' face over Ewan McGregor's in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Set a decade after Revenge of the Sith and another nine years before A New Hope, the Disney+ series sees McGregor reprise his role from the Star Wars prequels as the younger version of Guinness' sage Jedi Master.
Another digital artist, the YouTuber Shamook, landed a job at Lucasfilm after their viral video deepfaked Mark Hamill's digitally de-aged Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian. In a statement, Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic said ILM"has been investing in both machine learning and A.I. as a means to produce compelling visual effects work and it's been terrific to see momentum building in this space as the technology advances.
"[Obi-Wan] is always Alec Guinness to me. When I play him, I always have to have a sense of Alec Guinness," he said."And now I'm closer to him in age — I didn't realize he was 63 when he made [Star Wars] ... I'm getting closer to that age now . As I get closer to him, I have to be more like him, I suppose."
