DeepFake is a technology primarily used for face-swapping stars of adult video with well-known celebrities.

It's been gaining popularity on Reddit recently, and someone had the idea to "replace all actors in every film with Nicholas Cage"

Seen here is a prototype.

From reddit, regarding the Star Wars stuff:

> Top is original footage from Rogue One with a strange CGI Carrie Fisher. Movie budget: $200m

> Bottom is a 20 minute fake that could have been done in essentially the same way with a visually similar actress. My budget: $0 and some Fleetwood Mac tunes.
