Our year-long series focusing on Rogue One concludes with the final scenes of the movie. Vader slaughters Rebels as the plans just escape his grip.
Our series focusing on Rogue One, A Star Wars Story finally reaches its end. After discussing the details and nuances of the Rebel plan, or more specifically, Rogue One’s plan, to steal the plans for the Death Star, we have reached the climactic moments of the movie. The Death Star arrives at Scarif just as Jyn transmits the plans to the Rebel fleet. Then Darth Vader arrives with his Star Destroyer. Our discussion focuses on these moments as well as Vader’s slaughter of the Rebel soldiers trying to escape on the Tantive IV and the appearance of another iconic character.
