Any time you head out to a big time nerd convention you can count on seeing some excellent cosplay, but getting to see a whole scene from a movie reenacted is far less common. But then again, it’s not every day you have the world’s biggest Star Wars fans coming together to celebrate the galaxy far, far away, like Darth Vader‘s final kickass scene from Rogue One.
Down at this year’s Star Wars Celebration Orlando, a group of cosplayers went next level, recreating the final Vader scene from the last film released in the franchise, when he struck down a hallway of Rebel soldiers who were trying to transport the Death Star plans to safety.

Well, they were either doing their best take on that scene, or those guys owe that Vader cosplayer money. In either case, running seems like a good option. And remember, you should always be careful at an ATM, especially when a Sith Lord is nearby. What makes this especially great is how they made sure to include every aspect of that scene, including having Princess Leia waiting at the end. It gives us hope that other cosplayers will be inspired by this live-action fun to do more of this at other cons.
Just so long as we avoid recreating any Star Wars scenes that involve Gungans, sand, or Darth Vader making “choking” puns.
