Ross Duffer, co-creator, executive producer, writer, and director on Stranger Things, has shared how Rogue One: A Star Wars Story inspired a scene in the final season of the show.
Season 4 culminated with Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Robin (Maya Hawke), and Steve (Joe Keery) sending an injured Vecna into hiding after their fiery attack on the Stranger Things villain at his family home, the Creel House. So when Vecna resurfaces in Season 5 at the end of Episode 4, he’s a monster on a mission.
“We knew that when he arrived, we wanted it to feel like this huge moment,” Ross Duffer says of Vecna’s menacing walk through the military’s MAC-Z gate to the Upside Down — a moment inspired by Darth Vader’s memorable entrance in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. “The minute he walked out of that gate, you felt the power of Vecna. You felt how scary he was.”
