He further continued,
“It was dead quiet [in the theater]. Pin-drop silence. Suddenly Vader has pushed the wrong button. Luke comes screaming out of the shadows and just goes to town in a light saber battle against Vader. The way that felt: The forty seconds of stillness from the audience, then the spectacle and emotion, is seared not just in my eyeballs but in my heart.”
With the audiences rooting for Luke Skywalker, the scene indeed felt powerful as Darth Vader had indeed pushed the limits of Skywalker. Battling it out, the duo has an epic fight as fans go wild to see the battle between the light and the dark.
