I’ve been pondering this since I saw that gripping hallway scene in Rogue One where Vader takes out those rebel soldiers. The way he glides through the dark corridor with his lightsaber, methodically defeating everyone—it felt more like a scene from a slasher film than a regular Star Wars conflict.
That moment truly sent shivers down my spine and made me appreciate how terrifying Vader can be when depicted in the right light. He’s like an unstoppable predator that tracks his prey with precision. Considering how frightening he was in that scene, do you think he’d make a great character in horror-themed video games?
He has all the traits of a classic horror antagonist—his heavy breathing, dominating presence, and sudden appearances create fear. What do you think about this idea?
That mechanical wheeze getting closer would be terrifying in a horror game. You’d know you’re dead the second you hear it. And the force powers? Imagine hiding while he’s hurling stuff around and choking people through walls. Pure nightmare fuel.
Totally agree, that scene in Rogue One had such a horror vibe. I think Vader would make an epic boss in a horror game. His heavy breathing and presence just amps up the tension every time.
That hallway scene was absolutely terrifying. Vader hunting you through the dark would make an incredible survival horror game - just pure terror trying to escape him.
