Star Warshas never hesitated to kill off characters , even ones beloved among fan . Despite the saga end following the release ofThe wage hike of Skywalkerback in December , they go on to deliberate and psychoanalyse the franchise . And one of the affair that they always seem to be divided on is how the deaths of certain characters were handled . rooter are attached to these hero and villains thus experience strongly about their fancied lives .

We now take a look at 10 of the hot talk points when it come to character death , set about with the prequel trilogy and ending with the sequels .

Count Dooku

Count Dooku is a beast inAttack of the Clones , possessing far more swagman and skill than previous villain Darth Maul . In that same movie , he prove just how brawny he is , besting both Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi in lightsaber fighting before view as his own against Master Yoda , who he ’s capable to escape from on the satellite of Geonosis .

But he ’s killed relatively easily byAnakininRevenge of the Sith- which enrages some fans alone . Others point out that he has the chance to out Palpatine as a Sith Lord but , just before his chief is lopped off , chooses to stay silent , If that was us , we ’d surely speak out .

Mace Windu

Mace Windu is one of the right thing about the prequel trilogy , with just about everybody do it Samuel L. Jackson ’s portayal of the graphic symbol , unluckily , though , he ’s bolt down by Palpatine inRevenge of the Sithafter Anakin Skywalker stop the Jedi Knight from defeat the Sith Lord .

But this end is n’t entirely popular because you never see the eubstance . As a result , there ’s been years of calls to bring Windu back but , at the metre of penning , there ’s currently no plan for Jackson to reprise his role . That we know of , at least …

Darth Maul

No , we ’re not talking about him being sent tumbling down a huge perdition inThe Phantom Menace . We ’re come to to when he ACTUALLY dies , with Maul kick the bucket at the hands of old enemy Obi - Wan Kenobi in the cartoon seriesStar Wars : Johnny .

Everybody cognize that the Sith Lord had to go and rooter were pin for a big , dramatic showdown between the two opposer . That did n’t happen , though , with the engagement lasting simple seconds - pass away against what many want to happen in the operation .

Boba Fett

Boba Fett became in a flash democratic upon making his first show inThe Empire Strikes Back , with his nerveless Mandalorian armour and silent but deathly demeanor peculiarly iconic . He was expect to be a significant lineament inReturn of the Jedi , the net act of George Lucas ' glorious and unparalleled original trilogy .

Except those expectations were , again , wide off the scratch . Boba is barely in the motion-picture show and dies in amusing portion , falling into the Sarlaac pit after Han Solo unintentionally nudges him into it . Not a demise you ’d want from someone who just ooze cool .

Admiral Ackbar

Admiral Ackbar was just a minor persona inReturn of the Jedibut , a second like Boba Fett , is something of a Star Wars icon . And , when he popped up inThe Last Jedi , many were thrilled to see him back in the thick of the action .

However , the way Ackbar ’s death really , really riled those who lie with Star Wars . He ’s a victim of a First Order fire on the Resistance but his death is never actually mentioned . Nobody even seems to care that he ’s run . Disney appeared to gain this , putting his son inThe Rise of Skywalkerin a very , very minor role . As a zep of the first astronomic war , he deserved well .

Supreme Leader Snoke

The Last Jediwas a very divisive Star Wars pic - and Admiral Ackbar ’s death was n’t the only controversial moment . Everybody else also seemed to have an issue with the decision to kill off the case ofSupreme Leader Snoke , who had designate himself to be more than worthy of becoming the big bad guy of the sequel trilogy .

Snoke ’s decease come out of the blue , with many expecting him to be involved in the final pic of the sequel trilogy as well . He was barely in the two movies he did feature in but , when did pop up on screen , he cope to steal the show . And that ’s why so many wanted him to stay around .

Luke Skywalker

fan had waited a while to seeLuke Skywalker , with the character only appear right at the very end of 2015’sThe Force Awakens . As a solvent , many were expect Disney to have been holding back so he can take halfway stage in the two movies that take after .

Except that does n’t happen . The Luke we see inThe Last Jedidoesn’t seem like the fiber of old at all - rightfield until the end , that is . The hero of the original trilogy tricks Kylo Ren in a glorious moment but then dies . And he barely appears inThe Rise of Skywalker . We ca n’t facilitate but feel that Luke got moderately shafted here .

General Hux

General Hux and Kylo Ren detest each other . It ’s unmistakable right from the very off inThe Force Awakensand their mutual loathing only intensifies inThe Last Jedi , with Kylo even effect - choking the First Order general following Snoke ’s death .

It seems like it would terminate with Kylo eventually obliterate Hux - but this does n’t happen . Rather bizarrely it ’s new character General Allegiant Pryde who ends up dispatch Dominic Gleeson ’s case . It signify that two years of establish - up eventually amounted to nothing . Adam Driver ’s character does n’t even ever refer to Hux ’s death , making it all the more infuriating .

Palpatine (Second Time Around)

Fans had absolutely no problem with Palpatine ’s first death in 1983’sReturn of the Jedi . It was a fitting end for such a vile character and a bright conclusion to the trilogy in worldwide , with everybody give-up the ghost home happy .

But bringing him back again was the improper move . Not only did it make very small sense , his death the second fourth dimension around is n’t even well - action . He dies because Rey military unit blocks lightning from his own fingertip into his face , melt the Sith Lord in the process . He could have , you know , just stopped firing the stuff and nonsense …

Ben Solo

It ’s been three month sinceThe Rise of Skywalkercame out - but the biggest talking point continues to be the destruction ofBen Solo . The villain - call on - hero gives his life to lay aside Rey after she dies stopping Palpatine , completing his redemption along the fashion .

However , that ’s riled just about everybody . give Rey double cure wounds in the flick and does n’t lose any hurt , it makes very little gumption that Ben has to die . And , disregarding that , he was the good and most - intriguing character in the total trilogy . They should have let the last blood Skywalker live , too , give what the name of the megahit was . A return further down the line just ca n’t be rule out given how strong the fandom feels about this .
