Not gonna tag anyone, but I'm seeing the Vader hallway fight going around as the most "badass" moment in star wars history again and its like... Sure! Because the message of Star Wars is to be cool murderous badass and indulge your base, posturing desires for mayhem.

Fair. It played for me in the theater as if they were shooting for dread, but I admit I haven't rewatched it since then. Next time I spin it up, I will look for that (and I don't doubt that you will be correct in your take).

That’s a good point. That scene might have been more powerful if we had gotten a scene or two getting to know any of the people he was mowing down.

Or if it had been how many of the Rogue One team had died. Maybe that would've been too much but from strictly a storytelling point of view and, um, executed effectively cinematically (Vader as a monster) it would have been quite a thing.

It's true that we don't care about the plans themselves. But the scene worked for me as "a fleeting ray of hope against the inevitability of death" because the plans represented all the people, named or otherwise, that had worked to get them up there in the first place.

I have serious concerns about the people hooting and hollering at that scene, as I did when certain critics were so-so about the film itself but loved that particular bit. It's like being excited at the equally inevitable fireball that consumes our named protagonists at the end.

The horror and dread of that scene come exactly from the fact you should care about them. Just because they aren't the lead doesn't mean you can't care and there can't be dread.

The whole scene is shot like a horror scene, these normal humans are trying to escape. The door gets stuck and from the darkness the 'monster' is revealed. It approaches slowly and no matter what they do they can't stop it, all they can do is let the others escape.
