[@CAL1MBO]

You have Kathleen Kennedy to thank for that.

[@EscapeVelocity11186]

Probably not since Edwards' production was the most troubled out of the five new Star Wars movies. Lord and Miller were fired, but their production's issue was that they were going off-script and making a movie that was not aligning with the vision of the Kasdans. Edwards' production went completely off the rails and resulted in a cut of the film that was reportedly unwatchable. Tony Gilroy had to come in and reshoot significant portions of the movie, including most of the last-third, which is why the trailers feature many scenes that were not in the theatrical cut. Edwards' ability to handle a large production was pushed to its limits and the three Sequels, which were all larger productions than Rogue One, would have likely been too much for him to handle while delivering three movies in five years.

Just a backstory: I’m a prequel born kid but my dad showed me the originals before the prequels just so I could have that experience first and lately then I’d been watching Vader comic videos on KZbin so I was in love with Vader but anyways me and my dad went to see it and as soon as I heard the footsteps and Vader’s breathing I had the biggest grin on my face ever and me and my dad looked at each other and I just gotta say I’ve never been so excited about a movie scene in my life it was seriously amazing. Sorry for boring you if I did just wanted to relate that I loved it too!

Allen Frazier Yeah I almost wish I could go back in time to when Star Wars first came out and just experience it with everyone for the first time and just see the excitement and especially just seeing Vader for the first time which my dad told me he thought he was the coolest thing about it... Rogue One, and specifically this scene just gave me a glimpse at what that might’ve been like and it showed my favorite part about Vader we never saw a lot in the movies is his rage. Yeah man I’m glad we can relate to each other!👍

One of the most epic scenes in Star Wars history!

[@Terarex92]

Honestly, the most epic. No scene has this same effect of primal fear and violence in the entire saga.

[@spookybathtub7006]

except episode 3, that had some brutal scenes in it!

[@Shmozone]

Yea but episode 3 was 90% half decent cgi.

[@spookybathtub7006]

Deathshredder58 it actually had lots of story and went somewhere besides shitty phantom menace and attack of the clones.

[@Shmozone]

Not denying it had good scenes, and I like the whole idea of Anakin being a good person but slowly turning evil, but I feel like it could have been done better as a movie. Script wasn't good, acting wasn't good, cgi wasn't good, stuff like that. I think the story could have been very similar, but with a different director and cast, and been a really good movie.

Yeah let's hope so

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

sadly, despite all the awesomeness and badassery in this scene, the true most famous scene is the "no, i am your father". Truth being told, thats the 2nd most important scene in the whole story (the 1st one is the treachery of anakin to mace windu, bascily the success of palpatine's plans, wich ironicaly, kinda sucks). Remember, rogue one is about star wars, but star wars is about the skywalker family.

[@Psiberzerker]

Setting the epicness of the most epic scene in cinematic history it retcons a major flaw in the OT: That DV was a stiff decrepit cripple who relied on the Choke, because that's about all he had left. The greatest fear in the Galaxy (With Palpatine hiding in the shadows until the end as is his MO) memetic Badass Bobba Fett is intimidated by him, and what did he have to back that up? Presence. He's an imposing figure, and ruled through Intimidation. We needed to be reminded of Why he is hands down the most feared person in the Galaxy. Also, he had every advantage in that fight. It was made for him, the corridor made it a cakewalk for him to parry every blaster bolt, and mow through them like the scythe he is. It's a melee, against a bunch of terrified irregulars with pistols in the dark, with no escape. It couldn't have ended any other way, but really, we needed that big splashy show of Force because in decades of hearing how powerful he was, we never actually got to see it. That has been a gross oversight from the beginning. Finally, Darth fucking Vader, lord of Sith lives up to his fearsome reputation. The only Sin here is we didn't have more of it before this.

What made Rogue One and this scene memorable was that it brought context to things we've heard for years in all other SW films, but never truly understood. They said many times that a lot of people died to obtain the Death Star plans.. Holy molly, Tarkin pulverized thousands of people, including his own! Then they said of how fearful Darth Vader was, and this scene proves it. You didn't need to see blood and body parts flying on the air, but the actors' fear told it all. Vader was unstoppable. It is so important to have a truly scary villain in a movie, otherwise the audience will not get involved. We didn't know any about these guys, but their fear got us all into the scene.
