As Hayden Christensen prepares to suit up and get his deep-breathing game on again for Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Industrial Light & Magic’s Animation Director has been sharing his memories of the last time we saw Darth Vader on-screen in Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Hal Hickel was tweeting a number of images from his time on set, with this one providing a wider look at a shot that was featured in the film’s official trailer (see image below), but never made the final cut of a movie that was subject to much-publicised edits and reshoots. Hickel said that the scene was removed because it no longer worked with the film’s narrative.
