From cinematography to well-built characters, fans and criticsextensively praised the filmand it is now among oneof the bestStar Warsmovies ever.
Yet, directorGareth Edwardsdoes not want all of the credit to himself but rather believes that it isGeorge Lucaswho needs to be praised for creating the epic galactic saga.

Gareth Edwards Also Credits George Lucas For One MemorableRogue OneScene
Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyhas several mesmerizing scenes and stills, yet it isDarth Vader who stands out in the moviedespite a brief appearance. His murderous rampage was talked about the most after the movie’s release despite the whole movie being an incredible feature.
While talking to Uproxx, Gareth Edwards yet again gave all the praise to George Lucas and his vision for creating Darth Vader.
“And even the Darth Vader scene that lots of people talk about? I can’t take credit for it. Because it’s all George. You know what I mean? And if you see, it’s not a character from my film, it’s Star Wars. And we got to play in that sandbox for a bit and so I wouldn’t complain about any of it. I’d do it again if I had a time machine.”

Anyone who directs or is involved with the galactic saga owes it to George Lucas, for if he hadn’t believed in himself, theStar Warsfranchise would have not existed today. And it is commendable how selfless Edwards is, despite creating one of the best movies of all time for the franchise.
