‘Rogue One’ Toys Reenact One Of The Movie’s Best Non-Spoilery Scenes

One of the great pleasures of modern film is Donnie Yen kicking ass. Many, many people will be introduced to Yen in Rogue One, but not everybody went to preview screenings yesterday. So, while those tickets burn a hole in your pocket, let Hot Toys ease your Star Wars jones with a stop-motion animation of one of the movie’s best moment.

Don’t worry, there aren’t any spoilers here, and it’s not a one-to-one copy of Yen handing an entire battalion of stormtroopers their asses armed with just a stick. Let’s say it’s a “creative interpretation,” instead, not least because even Hot Toys can only do so much. But it does show off the notorious obsession with perfection the toy company, which made the Chirrut Imwe figure beating ass and the Stormtroopers receiving said ass beating, is noted for. These guys are so detail-obsessed they even get hired to create action figures of real people, which is why a one-sixth scale copy of Stan Lee exists.

If you were wondering just how much making your own fan videos with these figures will run you, Chirrut costs $245 and the Stormtroopers are a cool $200 each, if you can even get them. So, yeah, maybe just enjoy these videos.
