Rogue One on TV. I just watched the Vader scene like 10 times in a row. Goosebumps every time. That is, without question, the greatest 30s in SW history. The music, the action, the straight fear amongst the rebels, the kick ass Vader fighting with saber and force.

I’d been given a hint about the Vader scene before I saw it in theatres (just that it was awesome, no specific details) and it still blew me away. I was so overwhelmed by emotion I almost cried.

I hate to say it but nothing in the new trilogy gave me that feeling. Not even close. Seriously. It was better characterization for Vader than any character got in the new trilogy across 3 movies. And he didn’t utter a single ####ing word.

If you saw Rogue One before ANH, the anticipation for this insane badass MF would be off the charts.

Instead we got an SNL quality parody of a real villain in Hux, emo Kylo and a dead guy.
