    @Rodie, I can understand why they chose not to have a Vader vs Chirrut showdown, but I'd have paid good money to see it. Chirrut honestly wouldn't stand a chance, of course, but I'd love to see him take his best shot at Vader.

    I was pretty much terrified / thrilled after seeing it the first time, it looked amazing (especially on big screen). It's a phenomenal, tense scene that left me on the edge of my seat even though the outcome was known but the managed build so much intensity in those 30 something seconds. It's not my favorite scene in the movie because I personally loved many others, but it's just awesome and scary at the same time.

    Yeah. Chirrut worked best as a character against less powerful but still capable foes, such as the stormtroopers. That way he strutted his stuff and looked impressive, and with a degree of credibility. He wasn’t a Jedi, but someone who could still compete and have an advantage. He wouldn’t stand a chance against Vader, and I wouldn’t have wanted to see that.

    In shock, awe, disbelief, forgot to breathe for a handful of seconds and the hairs of my neck were standing up.

    Abit like I was when looking back over the official Vader in Rogue One thread and looking at the second entry on page 25. Maybe it was just a lucky guess by the poster. Maybe they had inside spoiler information. Or maybe.....

    I always go to the first showing available when a Star Wars movie is released, so it's always in a packed theater full of die hard Star Wars fans. There were loud reactions to Tarkin, Red Leader, Gold Leader, and the entire space battle, but the theater went absolutely insane during the Vader hallways scene, and I was right there with them. I instantly knew I had to see it many, many times in the theater. I also imagined how awesome the prequels could have been if Anakin wasn't a child for the first movie, he turned to the dark side sooner, and Revenge of the Sith was more of Vader hunting down Jedi in fabulous displays of power like that.

    My reaction was that this is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you storm a hallway but not be granted the rank of Master?!

    In my country, R1 was delayed for a week. Of course, I got spoiled on facebook. I learned my lesson and deleted my fb for TLJ

    No matter the reason, deleting one’s FB account is a good idea. :)

    Don't blame social media for spoilers. I remember that within a week of TFA's release, there was already major buzz all over the entertainment news sites about something important that happens to Han in the movie.

    The thing is, I kinda distanced myself from news sites but still I got spoiled in two days because someone shared an artwork of the corridor scene. My conclusion was that If l wanted to stay away from spoilers, I'd have have to delete fb entirely. You might not agree with me but I do get your point

    It's a little drastic to suggest you'd delete your FB account entirely just to stay away from spoilers for the short amount of time before you see the movie for yourself. Most of my FB friends aren't big on talking about movies in general; much less any of them having the gall to post in their news feed a major spoiler for a movie they just saw during opening weekend.

    Nah, I said I deleted it FOR TLJ, guess I didn't specify but I deleted it ten days before the release date to stay off from the numerous star wars pages in my feed- I subscribed to a LOT of star wars pages. And there are quite a lot of spoilers there; either the post themselves are spoilers, or a salty fan posts one in the comment section. While I did delete FB to stay off from spoilers initially, I didn't really bother to restore it since I realised that was better off without FB.

    I still watch it regularly on YouTube. Randomly I will just want to watch it. I want to watch it again right now actually. It’s so perfect.

    My jaw was on the floor. I wanted to run around and give my whole aisle high fives after it ended. It’s as badass as badass gets. I now want a plot like the movie the Raid where it’s Vader at the bottom of a tower climbing the stairs against enemies and just dominating everyone on the way up to face a Jedi master.

    I wondered why we did not see Leia shouting: "Are we blind? Deploy the garrison!"

    My reaction, “This is where the fun begins.” (Anakin, EPIII). But seriously, it showed us why in ANH the Rebel soldiers were terrified and is the first canon view of Vader in full power in the suite.

    I was both horrified and impressed by Vader's abilities. It was like an EU scene.

    Wow... hope this isn't ruined immediately after by a shoddy CGI rendering of an existing character...

    Kind of what I wanted to see in the prequels to be honest.

    ^Don't know if there'd be a right time in the PT story to show a Vader scene like this.
