But the fact is that the sequence stands out, not for what it presents (Vader being a total badass) but how it is presented (through the eyes of the common Rebel soldier).Throughout the movies, we see only jedi stand up to confront a sith with epic lightsaber duels. Everyone else simply cowers or runs away (or is force-choked without being touched). This scene really shows the courage of the Rebels who hold their ground because they must, even for a brief moment, and the consequences of facing against a powerful dark lord. The fact that they used that sequence in one scene - the most appropriate one, and not done repeatedly elsewhere - is not pandering. It was simply rare, and effective, and powerful, which is why it stands out.I still get chills no matter how many times I watch it! And I prefer not to lose that.
