They should have just left Tarkin and Leia and others out of the equation. The technology just isn't there. They're not fooling anyone. It's completely immersion breaking, especially for someone who knows those faces and voices by heart. Leia was the worst, as it's essentially the last thing you see before the credits roll. Also, let us use our imagination. We don't need to see Leia receive the plans by hand and then blast off into hyperspace on Tantive IV. We can put two and two together.

I get that it's a prequel, but the filmmakers aren't doing themselves any favors by trading in nostalgia at the expense of the here and now. Rogue One was a chance to expand the Star Wars universe. By remaining so dependent on Episodes III and IV, it felt more like a contraction.

Thank goodness your opinion is just part of the vast minority. Fans loved having tarkin and Leia included in this movie And to say "they're not fooling anyone" Is a bit weird as nobody was going to think anything else but they were cgi, One of the actors is dead and the other is old now, they wasn't trying to fool anyone you're being far to fussy and need to lighten up a bit.

They were just bringing amazing moments to the movie to tie it in perfectly for episode IV and the vast majority of fans loved Princess Leia and tarkin being included. 

Vast minority is kind of an oxymoron, don't you think?
