Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards has revealed that he needed to take care while utilizing Darth Vader in the upcoming film, noting that the iconic Sith Lord’s “gravitational pull” ensured that the character would be a massive presence onscreen, potentially overshadowing the rest of the production.

Speaking at Star Wars Celebration in London last week, Edwards noted that Vader’s appearance in Rogue One was one of the more daunting challenges he had to deal with. Bringing together elements both old and new due to its unique place in the Star Wars timeline, Rogue One could easily have found itself overshadowed by the iconic villain’s presence, if not for the skilled hands of its production team, as Gizmodo points out.
