Honestly, it was pretty good. It was most obvious to me when he talked, they still don't have the facial movements quite right. Still, it was good enough that it wasn't distracting.

For Tarkin, though, they should have just re-cast. Charles Dance could have killed it in that role. Leia's tougher, since she's so iconic. Still, I think a lookalike with some makeup would have worked better than going the CGI route.
