Spoilers incoming. Industrial Light and Magic pushed visual effects a dramatic step forward in Rogue One. Disney wanted Grand Moff Tarkin to make an appearance in the new Star Wars film, but there was one small problem: actor Peter Cushing, who played Tarkin in the original film, passed away over 20 years ago. So the wizards at ILM then set out to digitally recreate Cushing for a speaking role. ABC News got a backstage pass to see how not just Cushing, but also Carrie Fisher were digitally recreated for the film.

Frontier

Jason Momoa keeps his savage Game of Thrones persona as the Khal of Canada for a new Netflix series. Set in the 1700s, it centers around the North American fur trade, namely the Hudson's Bay Company. Momoa portrays Declan Harp, a part-Irish, part-native American outlaw working to take down the company's monopoly on the trade with a lot of blood and death. Sound familiar? Already renewed for a second season, Frontier will be ready for streaming January 20, 2017.

Honda Riding Assist

If you thought motorcycles would be the last bastion of vehicles that required human operators, you thought wrong. Honda unveiled its Riding Assist at the 2017 CES show. Ride Assist enables the bike to keep upright at a standstill, with or without a rider. Honda also showcased its ability to operate autonomously at low speeds, as it followed an engineer outside of the test facility.

Cult of Chucky

He's back. It's been nearly 30 years since the release of Child's Play and Chucky is still around, creeping us out with his twisted laugh and wild red hair. For the seventh film in the franchise, Brad Dourif returns to terrorize Nica Pierce once again, after she's been sent to an asylum following her family's murders. Filming starts this week, hence the lack of new footage, but keeps us hopeful for a Halloween release.
