Star Wars Rogue One: 12 Most Awesome Moments

1. Darth Wrecks S***

We knew Darth would feature in the story, but the worry was how would he be used? A couple of brief appearances where he doesn’t really affect anything, or would they shoehorn him in doing some cool stuff just to pander to the audience?

They found a comfortable middle ground here, where he has one scene midway through and has a glorious reappearance in the finale. There’s a scene where he confronts a group of guards in a hallway and proceeds to furiously tear through them in an effort to retrieve the Death Star plans. It may not connect with Darth's more laidback approach to combat in A New Hope, but it's so cool you'll overlook all that.

It’s exhilarating and terrifying in equal measure, and for many fans, it will be the standout moment of an already terrific adventure.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
