When I first saw Stephen Skarsgard’s casting news I had the incredibly foolish take that there was a good chance they’d waste his talents like Marvel did. Like putting Patrick Mahomes on an arena football team.
But my goodness did the writers deliver an iconic scene that Skarsgard lifted into one of the greatest Star Wars moments in the franchise’s history. In one scene was he able to crystallize the entire rebellion that made Star Wars a cultural revelation in the 1970’s.
That episode was the first piece of Star Wars media I have seen that surpassed Empire Strikes Back.
