Released in 2016, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has left a lasting impression. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the feature film allowed Disney to open the horizon of the Star Wars universe to other stories, appendices, and thus tell untold stories between the three main trilogies. The film also marked the spirits because it brings Darth Vader back to the front of the stage. There is also a sequence in the film that made a lot of noise. Well, that scene would have been directed by Dave Filoni.
Rogue One: Recontextualization
It's 2016. The Star Wars universe is starting to make a comeback in film and television. On the big screen, Star Wars IV: The Force Awakens was a hit in 2015, allowing to revive the license of George Lucas, now produced by Disney. The studio with big ears wants to capitalize on the universe of George Lucas and therefore embarks on the production of spin-offs entitled A Star Wars Story. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was born in 2016, followed by Solo: A Star Wars Story in 2018. 
On the small screen, the Star Wars universe is not to be outdone. Star Wars: Clone Wars has been broadcast since 2008 and the excellent series Star Wars: Rebels since 2014. As for The Mandalorian, it opens the voice of live-action series in 2019. In short, Star Wars fans are thrilled. It must be said that Rogue One explodes the storytellers. Gareth Edwards' film was nominated for two Oscars and grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. The success is such that Disney produces a spin-off series of Rogue One in 2022: Andor. A success that is also explained by the return of the famous Darth Vader. The Sith Lord makes his first live-action appearance since Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith in 2005. The famous antagonist makes his mark during the last scene of Rogue One, which serves as a connection with the beginning of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. A muscular scene in which the Sith boards a rebel ship to track down Princess Leia, and decimates all those who try to intercept her.
One sequence made by another
And apparently, this cult scene was not directed by Gareth Edwards. Indeed, comedian Freddie Prinze Jr., who voices Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars: Rebels, said during an episode of the Lights, Camera, Barstool podcast, that it was actually Dave Filoni who staged the Darth Vader sequence:
Maybe I'm not allowed to say this, but Dave Filoni directed this scene in Rogue One where Vader arrives to make the connection with "A New Hope". He directed this sequence.
An unexpected revelation, which once again reminds us of the importance of Dave Filoni within LucasFilm. He made his debut alongside George Lucas when the famous director was still running his license before the acquisition of Disney. He worked on the launch of Star Wars : Clone Wars and the creation of Ahsoka. Subsequently, he also participated in the development of Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars: Resistance. He has also participated in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. And he will soon be back as showrunner of the series Ahsoka. In short, he's a guy who knows what he's talking about in terms of Star Wars. In any case it is totally possible that Dave Filoni directed this famous sequence. Indeed, according to John Gilroy, the editor of the film, this scene was added at the very end of the project, when Gareth Edwards had finished shooting. Screenwriter Gary Whitta added that this sequence wasn't even in the script. Which explains why LucasFilm and Disney would have turned to Dave Filoni to direct this scene that has become cult.
