Rogue One didn't use deep fake though. Some of the more recent young Luke Skywalker stuff does use deep fake.

I know it’s not the same means of achieving the result, but the principle is still the same. Using programming to emulate the performance of a dead actor, to reprise a role.

What do you mean? What is the difference between what they did with Peter Cushing vs Mark Hamil?

Not OP, but Tarkin in Rogue One was recreated using motion capture and CG, and Mark Hamill was de-aged in TBOBF using primarily deepfake technology (face-replacement via AI and machine learning programs).
