Lu1z 4 3v3r And the voices Yeah but each of those established something to learn/fear about him. His appearance here is largely for fan service, so none of the few scenes he’s given add anything beyond “Darth Vader’s in the movie”

[@matthewmuir8884]

@@cartoonnetworkdisneyxdsupe6864 Actually, his scenes do add a fair bit. His first scene, the one between him and Krennic, not only reminds the audience how desperately the empire was trying to keep the Death Star secret, but also highlights that Krennic is 1% evil and 99% hot gas; he's nothing to the Empire; just another replaceable director. His second scene, Vader vs Rebel soldiers, establishes more reasons to fear Vader. In the OT, Vader never really bothered fighting anyone unless they were Jedi; he usually walked into the scene after the firefight was over. This scene establishes exactly why he doesn't give a bother: all these soldiers, with guns pointed at him in a narrow hallway, are nothing to him. It highlights exactly why a Jedi is needed to defeat Vader and Palpatine.

Really?? In my opinion i have never seen such a fake face as Leias XD Tarkin was ok at some point but Leia... oh my... it was almost creepy. I do not understand why they wasted so much on the Leia scene. It would have been perfectly fine if we only saw her from behind. Or if they used an actress who looked similar and they just used make up and a little cgi.

Primordial Bias not with Leia but Tarkington now looking back on this movie is really bad looking

[@drstephenstrange897]

Well I agree the CGI is impressive(and trust me, I hate CGI when is overused). Tarkin have a lot of screentime and the CGI tend to be iper-realistic NOT realistic, CGI Tarkin have a lot of details more than a normal person and some weird facial expressions that Cushing never had. It's like the difference between a Fiammingo Potrait and a good caricature: sure the Fiammingo Potraits are amazing, but over detailed, there's always something fake(an expression or even a tiny layer of color). A good caricature is simple but you can say "OK! It's totally him\her". I'm not saying that a CGI model must be a caricature but it must be IN BETWEEN those 2 examples.

[@Imajicka1]

Both had really bad uncanny valley. However, I find Tarkin to be a fascinating, if one-dimensional, character so I didn't mind his scenes. Leia just kind of threw me. Honestly, they would have lost nothing by just recasting for those characters.

[@baishihua]

I may be looking too deep into it, but here is what I think. No need to have experience with girls to talk like normal person, this line is just strange for any standard, it is like if we are chatting about fruits and I say something stupid like "I hate bananas, it is floppy and sticky and when I accidentally sit on it the pulps get everywhere", I just want to highlight how awkward this line is. It is also the writing around this line that made it worse, I think if Padme or Anakin immediately acknowledges how bad that line is like "In my experience that is the worse pick up line I have ever heard/said" or something, then makes a joke about it and both of them have a laugh, it would have been cute and they probably would have had better chemistry. However in the movie, Padme just looked at Anakin with an expressionless face, kissed him as if it was really charming, this shows that whoever wrote this totally thought that this stupid "rough sand to soft skin" thing is legitimately romantic, which defeats your claim that this line is supposed to be awkward. You are entitle to your opinion buddy, but I think this is terrible screenplay.

But the part where they made fun of it was pure satire, as it was a little hard to look at after a while. Hence them saying Tarkin was in too many scenes.

[@seeingred1409]

Actually, somehow, the lack of backstory of those characters (I mean, I've seen the movie several times, and I can't remember anybody's name) makes it kinda easier to identify with them... They could be anybody. They are nameless freedom fighters, part of something bigger, who will give their life for the cause, and who will be remembered by no one. I also really like the fact that they show the rebellion for what it really is : a bunch of terrorists and guerilla fighters, killers, spies... Yeah, they're the good guys, but they're no knights in shining armor. They're bandits. Oddly, I think this is my favourite SW movie of all... Except for Forrest Whitaker.

I think the GGI dead actors are one of those things you only see if you're looking for it. Case of critic-itis. I wasn't thinking about CGI or looking for it, and I barely ever even noticed. My dad didn't either. We were just watching the movie. Seems like one of those cases where cynics are undone by their own cynicism. Far as Vader's hallway scene...fucking AMAZING! I loved the fact that for once in forever, Vader was SCARY. Like, really spooky. In that scene he almost seemed more like a horror-movie slasher than anything else. Show THIS Vader, studio! I frickin LOVE this scary motherfucker! THIS Vader is dark...someone you could REALLY imagine people being terrified of. Not the everexsposed cartoon Vader from the prequels. This guy is a legitimately terrifying movie monster. More of THIS Vader! Overall, I'm a huge Star Wars EU geek...and I liked Rogue One. But more Dark Hallway Vader...fn PLEASE!!!!

[@invicta1313]

I could see it. Just saying, I didn't notice or care. I went into it knowing they weren't the real actors...and honestly, I was just happy they were in it and as well done as they were. Wasn't long ago we couldn't get a decent CGI humans to save our lives...now we're nitpicking over a few ugly frames. Meh. I'd rather just overlook a few weird moments than not have those characters in the story at all.

[@gannonkendrick9343]

Also, people aren't supposed to know about the things happening in this movie. Vader sees it as background events- not even background events- daily life. It's supposed to be an ordinary day. The empire doesn't even know what information is getting leaked- for all they know, the rebels are stealing Darth Vader's grocery list. But they know it's still a fairly important grocery list- like Vader has eggs and Cap'n Crunch on there, and he really doesn't want to forget to get either. So yeah. It makes sense.Because it's a heist. Not a central attack on the Death Star.

J&N Gaming and More! Hey stop that! You're too invested. Garth Edwards will not be pleased.

[@DJStout914]

Chris doesn't understand the limited use of Vader is one of the few things this movie did right. The true villain in this movie should have just been the Death Star, which it was. Yeah, you could argue General McEvil and Tarkin are the villains and they are, but the true threat is what it was in the original Star Wars: the Death Star. Vader was overhyped by marketing people because he's Vader but they had the perfect amount of him; no brief, one scene where he just makes a cameo and no plot where he's the full on villain. Edwards did what Lucas did in the original three: he made Vader a piece of a bigger story instead of being the story. He's just a dude in a Halloween costume.

[@wintertodt6602]

I totally agree. He wasn't in this because vader isn't thrown at every little issue that pops up and the two times he showed up was when Krenick requested an audience and when they became aware of the theft of the death star plans. And his appearances in 4-6 were due to Luke being a very serious threat as well as one of the only force users so vader had to deal with him frequently.

[@DJStout914]

Vader was also obsessed with finding Luke once he found out from a bounty hunter who he knew he could trust that the pilot who blew up the Death Star was named Luke Skywalker. That's why in V why Vader is so quick to say, "that's the planet where the base is" when talking about Hoth. You're 100 percent on the money about Vader not being thrown at every little issue. At this point when the Rebellion has yet to truly become a threat and the Empire is doing so well, the dude is just fine with being in his rejuvenation tank. It's not until after where Palpy starts sending him on errands.

[@DumbseekerFrampt]

Jake Elman I totally agree. I also Like too much that they added the Vader regenerating bath, never seen in the other movies, in the lava planet(i forgot the name) seen in ep III, this scene add more to the character than ep 1 and 2.

[@attilapataki46]

i have to agree on that... that bit was perfectly done

[@wintertodt6602]

***** But why would he be tasked with dealing with a bunch of nobody's? The only time it made sense for him to be there was when they found out about the theft of the death star plans. He had a major role in 4-6 because the MC was his son and they were both force users. The director said they wanted this movie to not have as much mysticism and be more gritty and realistic and Vader is the antithesis of that with his ancient religion and what not.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but there's ONE scene with Darth Vader that I'd like to see make it into a movie and that's the one from the comic book where the rebels have him surrounded and they go "Surrender! You're Surrounded!" and all he says is "All I am surrounded by is Fear, and Dead Men." And then ignites his lightsaber... that would probably be the epitome of Vader badassery... Though the original meeting between him and Boba Fett (as the bounty hunter) where they get into a fight would probably ALSO be pretty badass (also from the comics). Though I'm not sure they can do this since I'm pretty sure there's something in the cartoons where they meet...

[@Ephringael]

It was impeccable when he was standing still at a distance, and especially when his back was turned and his face was reflected in the window. The more it moved around though, the more unnatural motions, CGI 'shininess' and odd coloration you could pick out. Having a flesh and blood person in the same frame of reference was also a bad call. If they would have shot scenes with it far away, only getting close ups from the rear and showing his face only in reflections... it would have been neigh unnoticable. However they put in a lot of work in CGI Tarkin, and I can at least see why they wanted to show it off, even if it did detract from the film.

[@LuderSatan1]

Rogue One was a much better Star Wars movie than The Force Awakens and the prequels. TFA was a rehash of other star wars movies, especially A New Hope. TFA was a 100% marketing job, since disney only calculated what story elements would turn a profit and made the movie in accordance with this. And it had a Mary Sue lead lady and the worst villian in any sci fi or fantasy movie (seriously: that emo kid had years of jedi and dark side training, and yet he is defeated by a girl who just learned about lightsabers and the force that morning). And the prequels are terrible. Rogue One was great: it had an original story and its leading lady was relateable: she had a complicated family-history and she is equal to the other rebels (and not a perfect super-being like Rey). And Rogue One ties so very well into the classical trilogy and not the later shit we got (TFA + prequels). We now have a star wars movie meant for grown ups. And that is cool.

He sets the tone for the movie and comes to represent the "Empire" in the eyes of the audience. The fact that he isn't "first in command" doesn't really mean he's not the main villain. He was the most popular because he was the most memorable, and the filmakers clearly intended for him to be. Its certainly true that he's the undisputed main villain in Empire moreso than he is in A New Hope, though. He is seen with a lot more authority in that movie, and comes into direct conflict with all of our main characters in that movie.

Snakie no not really, tarkin is the main villain of a new hope, Vader is literally tarkin's bitch in ANH, so why would he be one of the main villains in rogue one and just be cast aside, it makes no sense continuity wise

[@chsparkle]

How is he Tarkin's bitch? If you mean when Tarkin told him to stop choking that man, Vader wasn't bothered. He was making a point, he wasn't out of control, he didn't care that Tarkin spoke. Tarkin doesn't even jump in straight away, he lets Vader make a point and wants to move on. Tarkin is in charge of the Death star and Vader isn't bothered about the decisions he's making, like destroying Alderann. He still does his own thing, like letting Leia and the others escape so they can be tracked. He's more a man of action, one reason he goes into battle around the death star while Tarkin is on board making decisions for the base.

I thought Tarkin was in it more because the Death Star was very much his project. He was in command so it makes more sense he's about. He was more involved with it's building while Vader was doing more active things around the Empire. Also, we only see one officer actually get bold enough to mock Vader and he's pretty swiftly put in his place. Vader doesn't even loose his temper, he just calmly goes 'so, what were you saying' while making a very deliberate point.

Remember when only the really nerdy people took Star Wars seriously? Those were good times

[@azurelord64]

Lord Freeza Yes, those were good times indeed.

[@sirprize275]

Kofi Awa now it's being treated like a religious text and no one can have any fun with it

[@azurelord64]

Lord Freeza Exactly! This is why I sometimes feel ashamed to call myself a Star Wars fan. 95% of this fanbase is so incapable accepting others' opinions. I want to be able to peacefully debate my opinions on Star Wars without getting bashed at.

[@sirprize275]

Kofi Awa Like how I kinda enjoy the prequels (I don't think they're better than the originals but I still enjoy them) but every time I try to bring that up people look at me like I'm the antichrist

[@azurelord64]

Lord Freeza Right again! I'm not really a fan of prequels(especially Attack of the Clones which I despise), but I don't look down on people who like them. I have one friend who heavily dislikes The Force Awakens, but I don't treat him like a terrible person. I try to stay as an adult as much as possible(I'm 17 by the way) by letting him have his own opinion and try to exchange our different perspectives on the film in debate. The only people I do look down upon are the dumbasses who try to treat others like shit and say they have the "correct opinion."

Chris Stuckmann: "So, a young brunette girl with a British accent is separated from her family as she spends most of her life with no direction, trying to cope with that tragic day." Nostalgia Critic: "Actually, that was Rey's character from Force Awakens." Chris Stuckmann: "Oh, yeah, duh! How'd I get those two mixed up? (clears throat) "So, a young brunette girl with a British accent is separated from her family as she spends most of her life with no direction, trying to cope with that tragic day." Nostalgia Critic: "Not that Star Wars doesn't have a lot of repeat, but don't you think that's a little cut-and-paste?" Tamara: "Oh, I guess the young Americans (Luke and Anakin) didn't get enough attention." Hmm. . . So, Rey is a copy of . . . Jyn, except . . . Rey has ACTUAL abilities instead of using a blaster! Plus, the characters aren't really all that interesting. But. . . the ONE and ONLY thing I found about this movie-- Well, actually two things.-- is that. . . 1: James Earl Jones still has his Darth Vader voice and 2 . . . DONNIE FREAKING YEN IS IN HERE!!
