it should also be noted that vader made the evil a-list with no pathological disorder to assist him.

I liked it as an action sequence but it detracts from Vader in the grander scheme. He failed in a way demeaning to the guy with decades of experience in a situation easily resolved with tk. His lines with Orson earlier in the film were cringeworthy and I know this can't be helped but James earl doesn't sound the same anymore.
Nah to James' voice, I guess. It sure doesn't sound the same... or they rushed it. Last minute change: add Lord Vader???
I remember Alec Guinness rerecording his own voice for Lawrence of Arabia like 30 years after being filmed and he got it quite well. But he practised quite a bit to sound the same.

It seems from this scene it's not entirely clear if the Rebels got the plans and also that Vader has been looking for them for some time. R1 doesn't make sense, Vader knows who has them and where they are. Don't people watch these movies anymore before they start making prequels?
I did! But clearly not everyone is convinced the plans were stolen. And that Vader's been at it for a while. With R1 this seems to have happened yesterday.
I always got the impression from ANH's opening that Vader's been dogging the Rebels for a little while trying to recover the plans. Like he suspected Leia of being a Rebel agent but just now has he cinched up the proof that she is when he caught the DS plans being beamed to her ship. That he felt the need to cover up the boarding operation with a false distress call makes the whole thing feel more clandestine and hush hush.
Rogue 1 makes it feel like he was just hanging around that battle at the end and when he saw an opportunity to board a ship and waste some people, he took it. Then he realized he just let the stolen plans slowly and easily escape him so he freaked out and immediately gave chase. A ginormous battle involving millions of people just witnessed the Death Star glass a planet. That's not hush hush, that's HOLY F*CK YOU GUYZ TAKE A PICTURE, SHOW THE GALAXY!
I prefer the first version.
