Details on the Late Addition of that Iconic Vader Scene from Gareth Edwards

It has been reported in the past that the now iconic scene involving Darth Vader single-handedly hacking and slashing his way through a group of Rebels while en route to intercept those precious Death Star plans was, in fact, a late addition to Rogue One. So, while this new report comes with little surprise, Fandango does have some new details on how it came to be and the thought process that went into the scene.

 

 

According to Edwards, via Fandango, the initial version of the scene would have still involved some Vader dealt devastation, just not from within the ship itself.

“He arrives and obliterates the Calamari ship, and then the blockade runner gets out just in time and he pursues the blockade runner. And then Jabez was like, ‘I think we need to get Darth on that ship,’ and I thought, yeah, that’s a brilliant idea and would love to do it, but there’s no way they’re going to let us do it. It’s a big number and we had, what, like 3 or 4 months before release. Kathy [Kennedy] came in and Jabez thought, f*ck it, and pitched her this idea, and she loved it. Suddenly within a week or two we were at Pinewood shooting that scene.”

 

Edwards also discusses the details about what went into planning what he refers to as “The Greatest hits of Darth”. Edwards states that the emphasis when making the scene was to not throw people off. They wanted to make sure it was a Vader the audience recognized so they made sure to keep his actions and powers consistent with what we had seen in previous films.

Edwards, who calls the scene “The Walk of Death,” says he asked the stunt guys to go away and come up with everything they could think of. “They came up with a whole shopping list of ideas. 70% we used, and maybe 30% felt a little too extreme. They were things you hadn’t seen him do before, and I wanted to stick to what Darth does in the original trilogy.”

      That, and the dad joke. Say anything else, “Be careful not to overstep your place Director Krenic” or “I think you overestimate my care for this matter Dr. Krenic”. If I had a time machine that would work only two times and I could stop 1) Hitler from being born 2) The assassination of JFK or 3) The creation of Vaders dad joke in Rogue One, I would go back twice and get rid of that awful dad joke.

        1. “I find your lack of faith disturbing.
        2. “We would be honored if you would join us.”
        3. “The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.”

        Um no. Vader is the most powerful DARK SIDE USER in the universe and doesn’t “gasp” or get tired after killing off 10 Rebels. Just like my Dad, age 70, doesn’t get winded when he steps on 10 ants.

    I’m still not sure about the scene myself. I mean, by itself it’s a great scene, but with it’s place in the movie I just feel that it takes away from Jyn and her team’s death. When I read comments about Rogue One more people are talking about how much they liked the third act battle, the Vader scene, Leia and Tarkin, rather than the other parts of the movie and the new characters. I think a lot of fans won’t admit it, or are simply in denial, but I think that a lot of them were more interested in the Star Wars porn elements that the new story and people.

      Believe that’s the movies biggest strength, but also its greatest weakness. Character development was sacrificed to appease the film maker’s inner fandom.

        No, you would have gone home disappointed. Getty a bit tired of youy popping up on this site and not only endlessly babbling about Vader being the only thing that mattered on Rogue One and the secret of it’;s success, but that you somehow speak for most fans. You have no way of knowing how much fans would have enjoyed the movie without that Vader scene, and just because people talk about it a lot, it doesn’t mean that all were obsessed with seeing as much Vader as possible as you were.

          That’s not true.
          I guess, the movie would’ve been great without Vader but it also was a movie about the Empire at the height of its power. And Vader is the personification of that power.

          All of my friends (not even the hardcore ones) said, when they heard about a “prequel” to ANH: “They better have Vader in it.”

          He is the most iconic movie villain of the 20th century.
          He had to be in there.

          And the last scene was awesome. We only heard about the villain – but to be honest, we never really saw the pure evil of Vader in the movies (except choking an imperial officer).
          Most of the time he somehow dealt with Luke. And that was mostly talking.

          Now we see his power and can imagine how he chased the last remaining Jedi.

          I think, it’s not only good or fanwank, that R1 had this scene. I believe it even was most important to show Vader slaying some rebels.

          By the way. It is awesome to watch the end of R1 and immediatly afterwards the beginning of ANH.

          We see Vader entering the Tantive IV and know, that like an hour ago (or something) he nearly captured it. We see him interrogating Capt. Antilles about the transmission. And everything is so close.

          For me, Rogue One is a masterpiece!

            Thank you for proving my point for me.

            Rogue One is meant to be a spin off, and as such is an indirect, not direct, prequel. It’s not meant to be about the Skywalkers. Yet people are treating it as Episode 3.5, as your comment proves, and I think that is a mistake and a disservice to the Rogue One characters.

      Well, that’s tough. A lot of the film’s biggest elements are the ones that are considered “Star Wars porn” due to its chronological place in the Star Wars timeline. In the end, it’s hard to gauge the true thoughts of fans.

      I liked it the way it was. After Anakin is armored up, the audience doesn’t get a real clear look at him until Luke removes his helmet. Until then, we get just quick glimpses and reminders that there’s a mind behind the helmet.

        I don’t know about that. There are very few people out there that don’t know that Anakin turns into Darth Vader. I doubt that decisions like this are made for such a small number of potential viewers. As I said before, the decision to deny viewers a clear view of Vader without his armor or helmet is a cinematic one. Vader donning his armor (and especially the first sealing of his helmet) is highly symbolic of him relinquishing most of his humanity. And humans have faces. It’s not until he’s redeemed back to the light that his face is see once more.

        And that scene in Rebels where Ahsoka cracks his mask and we can see part of his face? Not a fan….

      The Vader-Slash scene was the “water cooler” moment of the Film — people loved it. Keep in mind, the fandom on this page represent only a MINISCULE PERCENTAGE of the Viewing Audience. The “Casual Viewers” outnumber us “The Obsessed Fans” by massive proportions.

        Yeah, but I being an “Obsessed fan” thought that scene couldn’t be criticised by obsessed fans. It’s been since 1983 that Vader didn’t appear on film , and it’s been about a year now since he dueled with Ahsoka in Rebels. I mean, who doesn’t want some Vader action?

    Gareth Edwards should know that if you are going to refer to Darth Vader by a single name you have to say Vader not Darth. Bad guys go by their last name. That makes you sound like a noob.

            neither am I. I am referring to the idea that Vader is Anakin. In Star Wars, Ben calls him Darth because that is his name. The Anakin business was concocted later and the idea of “Darth” being a title was concocted for the prequels. you won’t find it in the novelisation because at that point Darth Vader was Darth Vader, pure and simple. He wasn’t Anakin Skywalker, Luke’s father.

            I need point out no more than this:
            “A young Jedi NAMED Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil…..”

          Really?

          From the cinematic perspective, they both went through quite a lot together, why would he all of a sudden start referring to him as Darth?

          It’s much like Han referring to his son as Kylo instead of Ben.

          Defies logic.

            absolutely does not defy logic at all. you keep using that word “sudden” too, which is way off the mark. It’s nothing like Han and Kylo. he hasn’t been Kylo for that long and it’s HIS SON! If my daughter turned evil I really can’t imagine me referring to her as some scary title she’s decided to adopt. 😀

            Obi-Wan was practically a surrogate older brother to Anakin. So, you’ve kind of argued my point for me, from a certain point of view.

            And Darth is not Anakin.

            Believe the ending of ROTJ proves otherwise. The Anakin left inside him is what redeems him.

            And then there’s the Anakin force ghost.

            May have flown over your head.

            HOLY CRAP! You are so dense that light bends around you.

            Anakin and Vader are pretty much accepted as two separate entities and he doesn’t become Anakin again until he saves Luke. Until then, he is still Vader and Obi-Wan seems him as that.

            “More machine than man. Twisted and evil.”

            Luke: I can’t kill my own father!
            Obi-Wan: Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.

            Obi-Wan is telling him to kill Vader.

            Vader is Vader until he becomes Anakin (when he saves Luke) and any point until then, he is still Vader. That’s a fact.

            It totally went over your head. Man, I can’t imagine what it is like to totally miss the point of something you love so much.

            Movies, like other forms of entertainment are open to interpretation.

            As contrived as it is, there was still a little of Anakin in Vader, that was what Luke reached out to, and connected with. That’s what I get from watching ROTJ.

            Likewise, I don’t buy, Obi-Wan coming face-to-face with the Dark Lord after about 20 years deciding to call him Darth, instead of Anakin.

            Sorry, I’m oot.

            Well, whether you buy it or not, that’s what happened. Anakin died on Mustafar. Vader came back in his place and from A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW, that’s who Obi-Wan is referring to.

            There is open to interpretation and there is stubbornness.

            now I’m out.

            I really kind of haven’t. “practically a surrogate older brother” does not equate to a real parent/child situation. and we all now how much water that BS “a certain point of view” holds 😉

            He calls him Darth b/c he is mocking his title, what he has become.

            Honestly, I’d say he calls him Darth because he accepts who he is. I’m guessing Han calls him Ben because he does not belive or does not want to believe he has turned.

            Except Han believes he can bring his son back to the light. Obi-Wan is fully aware of how evil Vader is and fully accepts the path he has chosen. And more than that…. Ben is Han’s son…. HE could become the most evil dictator in the universe, and his parents would still call him Ben. lol

        I always imagined he called him Darth as a jab. Like, “Only a master of evil Darth.” meant, “you’re not a master of the light bitch.” Also, calling him Darth was a reminder he’s just a pawn like Maul and Tyrannus.

          Possibly, but after everything they’ve been through together, I would be more inclined to believe he’ll always be Anakin to Obi-Wan.

            still missing the point that Vader was NOT Anakin Skywalker in the first film. That decision was made later. And I totally buy Ben calling him Darth anyway because he isn’t Anakin anymore. he says as much in ROTJ.

            “He’s more machine now than man. Twisted and evil.”

            ROTJ does not support that.

            I’ve seen it plenty of times and you are clearly ignoring what I wrote about, which kills your little theory dead.

            Either explain what you mean or move on. When he is Darth Vader, Obi-Wan does not see him as Anakin. He is sending Luke to kill him, not turn him. Which is what he did on Mustafar. He went there to kill, not sway.

            So produce something backing up what you said other than wishful thinking.

      I think he meant it facetiously like Luke calling Palpatine “your majesty” since it’s basically a self-made title.

      And to be honest I’m guessing that he only called him Darth because at that time Darth wasn’t a title, probably just a first name. It was clear that Lucas NEVER had it all planned from the beginning like he says he did.

      Still, when he says “you can’t win Darth” it could be used as a name or title. Interesing when you think about it 🙂

    Loved the scene! went crazy during the first viewing, all sunsequent viewings, my heart started racing know what was to come. By my 5th viewing, i basically know all the soundtrack cues, so i get pumped. Especially love when Tarkin says “Lord Vader will handle the fleet”.

    The OST sounds a bit weird outside the movie, especially not hearing the Tantive IV sirens at 1:06 lol. I am currently building my red LED saber, and i think im going to use this piece of music in a duel lol

      On opening night, Theaters reported people CHEERING / GASPING nationwide at the Vader-Slash scene. It was magic and possibly the most well received moment in the entire Film.

          That’s exactly what I did – the lights went off, the Rebels turned around when they heard the wall being torn open. Then those footsteps. I grabbed my mate and went “awwwwww shit it’s ON!”

        You could feel the room swell in the theater I was in when Tarkin said that. And it sounded like a sporting event at a bar when he was destroying the rebels. People went nuts. My favorite movie experience ever. And my favorite Star Wars scene ever.

          I wish my theater was that active..it was dead silent..I awkwardly started panting and almost fell off my seat during the Vader scene and gasped when I saw Tarkin.

    My favorite cue in the whole film, It reminded me of the best musical moments from the PT which I hope we get in TLJ too.

    For me, it was literally my favorite ending to any movie, ever. Seriously. I hope the feeling I get from that scene never wears off.

    I had to pre order this movie through freaking best buy since amazon is trying to push there digital service

    As a Star Wars movie I thought R1 was great, as a movie itself…not so much. Whenever people regard their favorite scene in the movie involved someone who was more or less a cameo, that should be telling you something

    A new Hope/empire strikes back
    Empire strikes back/ A new hope
    Revenge of the sith
    The force awakens
    Return of the Jedi
    The Phantom Menace
    Rogue One
    Attack of the clones
