Hayden Christensen, who plays Darth Vader, and Deborah Chow, the Director of Obi-Wan Kenobi, have made some recent comments that suggest Rogue One’s scene featuring the Dark Lord at the end of the movie was even scarier than it appeared. While the upcoming Disney+ show focuses primarily on Obi-Wan, Chow has said that they are taking this opportunity to explore Vader himself as well. Star Wars has become a massive, trans-media force to be reckoned with, but Obi-Wan Kenobi is the first time Vader will be seen in a live-action format between Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, besides his few, albeit exciting scenes in Rogue One.
In many ways, the Rogue One Darth Vader scene was a welcome addition to the franchise. As he sliced through rebel fighters making his way towards the Tantive IV, fans finally actually got to see just how powerful Vader really was at this point. The last time Vader was seen in action was when he had locked sabers with his son, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), in Return of the Jedi. Although those fight scenes were intense and clearly showed just how much the technology had improved since the first Star Wars movie, it certainly has left audiences wondering just what Vader would be like with the kind of effects film studios have today. Vader’s hallway scene in Rogue One was truly hair-raising and while it was clearly trying to play fan service, it showed just how deadly the Dark Lord really was at this point.
