Star Wars Rogue One: 12 Most Awesome Moments
11. Chirrut Imwe Wrecks Some Stormtroopers
Donnie Yen has always been awesome, but Rogue One has given the Hong Kong superstar his best platform to display that awesomeness to the world. He plays Chirrut Imwe in the movie, a blind warrior devoted to the force, and perfectly willing to kick ass when required.
He displays this when saving Jyn and Cassian from a group of stormtroopers, calmly arriving on the scene before beating the crap out of everyone in the area. Yen’s astonishing moves are the true special effect here, where he beats down all comers with lightning quick moves.
The only nitpick is that the editing is a little choppy, and it might have been even better with longer, uninterrupted takes. That’s a true nitpick, though, since the final scene is so cool it’s hard to find fault.
