Darth Vader – “Power of the Dark Side” | via starwars.com

“For Vader, we wanted him to make a big entrance so we looked no further than the moment at the end of Rogue One. This one was a real balancing act when it came to just how scary or brutal we wanted to depict him, but we stuck to what is true about the character and emphasized his sheer power above all else. Plus, there’s something intoxicating about Vader’s fearsomeness. This short really celebrates his iconic design — his shadow, the red lightsaber, the booming voice — all of which makes him so unforgettable.”

I don’t know why but it occurred to me the other day how Ezra’s abilities and actions at the end of SWR proved Vader wrong. Besides, Vader was being a real a-hole saying something like that to a kid he was about to murder.

The thing that really strikes me is that when it came down to it, there’s a bit of sour grapes in that because Vader couldn’t be a Jedi. But Ezra could.

Like the Force-throwing and leaping and moving things with your mind, that’s just the cherry on top, the true test is whether you can control yourself, make yourself let go even when it’s crushing you. And Vader is and was better than Ezra on all accounts (except animal control), but he couldn’t do that, and Ezra could, and in the end that’s what really mattered.
