if you are in trouble stranger things Season 5 (if not, be aware of some minor spoilers), then you know one of the coolest moments is when Vecna enters the real world. Our heroes spend the majority of the first four episodes trying to hunt him down in the Upside Down, hoping to fight the villain and end his bid for power. However, Vecna shows up and immediately starts wreaking havoc on the soldiers, a cool moment that’s even cooler: The Duffer brothers confirmed that Vecna’s appearance was inspired by Darth Vader’s appearance at the end of the movie. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Pooh, Vidi, Vecna
Season 4 stranger things The extent of Vecna’s terror is established: when he holds his victims (Chrissy, wake up!) with his mind, he can bend and break their limbs, leaving them to suffer a gruesome death. We also saw more of his psychic powers last season when he faced off against Eleven, which felt right out of a comic book. But Vecna takes things to the next level when he comes to the real world in season five, showing how this bulletproof bad guy with unlimited telekinesis can easily take on a small army.
In a recent interview with Tudum, Ross Duffer (one half of stranger things “We knew when he arrived, we wanted it to feel like a big moment,” said Superstar Producer, who confirmed that the killer entrance was inspired by Darth Vader’s arrival.

The Coolest Star Wars Moments
For many Star Wars fans, the Darth Vader moment that inspired the Duffer Brothers is one of the coolest Star Wars moments Rogue One. That movie mostly focused on all the drama and sacrifices that went into obtaining the Death Star plans, ending with the Rebels shown making a mad dash to deliver those plans to Princess Leia aboard Tantive IV. But their hopes are all but dashed when Darth Vader shows up and starts mowing down the rebels left and right in a hilarious (albeit slightly over-the-top) mayhem before our heroes narrowly escape the plan.
The Duffers’ Star Wars homage was so successful that in some ways the addition of Vecna was more effective than the addition of Vader. That’s because stranger things It needs to be established that its big bad is a threat to trained, heavily armed soldiers, not just confused and defenseless children. By contrast, when Vader showed up in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , he was already one of Hollywood’s most formidable threats.

“Will, I am your father”
While some Star Wars fans might take issue with the Duff Brothers borrowing from their favorite franchise, it’s hard to argue with the results: The first four episodes of Star Wars stranger things Season five was a bit uneven, but Vecna’s rampage and Will Byers getting new powers (not to mention a decent haircut!) made the final episode very memorable.
Will the show borrow anything from that famous galaxy far, far away? Let’s all hope that Vecna doesn’t utter the words “No, I’m your father” before the hit Netflix exclusive finally comes to an end.
