      It is a cinematic triumph. Peter Cushing himself called it his greatest role! Well, he might have said that.

      Fun fact that I actually just learned today. The cast made from Mr Cushing’s face for his scene in Top Secret was used by the SFX wizards working on Rogue One to digitally recreate the actor for the movie.

      Imagine that, a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.

      Have to admit, that rather stunned me when I read it.
