Theoretically Vader probably wasn't even aware that the disc with the plans were only a few feet in front of him, otherwise he might have gone through those guys a little bit faster or just used his force powers to make the disc fly to him.

Saw Rogue One over the weekend. Tears were shed. I'm not embarrassed to admit that.

Here is the opening crawl from A New Hope:

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power
to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's
sinister agents, Princess
Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the
stolen plans that can save her
people and restore
freedom to the galaxy....

It still works...

Is Rey, Luke, or someone else the Last Jedi?

Is Rey, Luke, or someone else the Last Jedi?

I predict Luke is the Last Jedi. Rey will use a different term. Alternatively, Jedi will turn out to be a race as well as a description of Light-Side Force users, with Snoke as the last surviving member of that race.

Not the first time. And I bet it changes.

Han Solo – Smuggler. Scoundrel. Hero. A New Star Wars Story Begins

Strap yourself in. Principal photography on the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story is under way.

Cameras are rolling on the adventure-filled past of the iconic scoundrel and everyone’s favorite Wookiee; principal photography on the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story officially began February 20 at Pinewood Studios, London.

The movie will explore the duo’s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directors co-piloting the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”

I don't think I know much about Alden Ehrenreich, but otherwise that cast sounds amazing.
