While the appearance earned nothing short of the most emotional hype from viewers, it received a fair amount of criticism for the deepfake technology used to bring Luke to life. Thanks to the work of a YouTube artist who improved the deepfake, Luke was able to be fixed in that instance, but the return of Luke in The Book of Boba Fett called for more convincing technology.
