What are the ethical and moral concerns with this?

Every film fan knows it would be immoral to resurrect B grade actors from B grade movies.

George Lucas wants to become a necromancer!

But, seriously, I see no big moral or ethics implications.

I don't know. They could make some sick stuff like a inappropriate contento with Ron Jeremy and the girl from Wizard of Oz or Elvis and Benny Hill.

So what if they did? How would that be different than using look-alike inappropriate content stars?

I think that would require a real necromancer.

Not much other than if a person wanted their honor to be upheld or if their family did, doing something like that without permission could be problematic.
