ROTS literally has him slaughtering children but a hallway of soldiers is a step too far?
Oh yeah I forgot about that ! But we don’t see him doing that, and he’s the main character of the movie, not a random dude killing random extras. But I don’t like it either. If he really wanted the plans he could have got them with the Force. The scene is totally dumb.
I think you are missing the point that it was not really about killing Extra’s but Vader was trying to get the plans back. There was a group of soldiers shooting guns in between the plan’s and Vader.
What would you do? I think you would be dead and riddled with laser beams.
Vader very nearly got the plan’s back. Just because you could not come anywhere close to performing such a task.
😃
Also making no bones about it I’d be dead If I tried to do that too.
