10 Scariest Star Wars Moments
3. Vader's Assault - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Holy sh*t was this cool.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story makes for one of the franchise's most enjoyable and unique additions, abound with stunning visuals, great characters, clever backstories to the main saga and one hell of a mean twist.
In the film's final moments, the Rebel Alliance attempt to flee from the Empire with sensitive information - the Death Star plans, used in A New Hope to destroy the planet killer and score the first major win for the Rebellion.
The only hitch? The Rebel soldiers are being pursued through their ship by Darth Vader, who comes into the shot surrounded by darkness, only to be lit-up by his red lightsaber. He then commences to cut the soldiers down as they desperately race to get the plans away from the Empire.
They succeed, but that doesn't make seeing Vader in action any less frightening, re-capturing the menace of the warrior first encountered in A New Hope.
