As cool as it would be to have 'Original Kirk' and other characters preserved for posterity in CGI form, possibly for inclusion in future Trek movies and shows, is that what folks really want? I mean, sure, a background cameo every now and then probably isn't too bad (though honestly the Tarkin one in Rogue One kinda creeped me out), but beyond that I can't help but feel like it cheapens the characters to have them keep reappearing in 'mint condition' every time after an actor has aged up or even passed away. At some point I think that folks just have to let some characters take their final bows, and go.
