10 Star Wars Characters You Didn't Realise Probably Died Horrible Deaths

There's a good reason why we were never shown these Star Wars deaths...

[@SHFirefly]

Tbh, seeing how Beru, and Owan fought Reva in Kenobi, they probably put up one hell of a fight against the storm troopers

[@charlesjohnson7458]

Agreed

[@nanachimakenshi2512]

They probably had a last stand making the Stormtroopers desperate enough to send flamers or just using thermal detonators on them.

[@quinetastic]

*Owen...and I agree

[@bryanfoster362]

I like to think the Lars’ overcame their intruders, stole 2 suits of armor, barbecue 2 troopers and escape.

[@madelinegarber7860]

That’s true. They probably went out fighting.

[@dinogoldie9716]

1:29 Owen and Beru were not disintegrated. Lightly flambéd? yes. Mildly maillarded? Certainly. Seriously seared? Definitely. But their charred corpses remain in one, still very much integrated, piece.

[@thetvbaby83]

[@AnonymousAustin]

This is the most beautiful comment I’ve seen in a while.

[@namikstudios]

The main reason for Revenge's higher rating is obviously "the immolation scene" where Anakin catches fire on the side of the river of lava after having his legs cut off... It's a pretty graphic scene but it's entirely necessary to show how he underwent the physical transformation into Vader and why he needed the suit etc.

[@TheBlackcredo]

Vader catches fire you mean.

[@quinetastic]

You are correct👍Anakin was given the name Darth Vader when he turned to the *dark side* on Coruscant...

[@neilyexley4533]

[@crabbycowboy4569]

[@CJ-fu8cm]

​@@crabbycowboy4569No, it was the flambe scene specifically

[@sslocke]

Chewy's death in the EU was hard hitting but so badass. He was the pride of all Wookies. Honoring his life debt to the very end and being such a great warrior that it took a literal moon crashing on him to kill him.

[@Creambot1987]

Grievous had a death that is not talked about enough, his organs were ablaze as the fire spread throughout his mechanical body until his brain and eyes exploded, and he could have very well been taken into custody as he was mostly defenceless after a few shots but Obi-Wan continued to fire directly into his organs, one of the only places where he could actually feel pain. I think you could definitely make a part 2 for this vid!

[@vocazxls4787]

He was too dangerous to be left alive

[@TheReligiousCrap]

So uncivilized...

[@masterdragon2698]

It was originally going to be much much more brutal with obiwan using the force to tear out grievous’s organs, shooting them with a blaster, and kicking his corpse off the ledge. Now that’s what I call uncivilized

I had an uncle who always said "make mine very rare. Just show it the fire, and serve it up." Maybe some of the ewoks like their stormtroopers served very rare.

[@bwoods43]

I'm not entirely sure what constitutes a "horrible death," but if it's the level of pain and agony, I'd say that dying while/after giving birth to twins has to rank up there.

[@SwivelHippie]

great point, however you can't expect some nerd boy to understand women.

[@TheBlackcredo]

Anyone who fell into the sarlack pit probably had the worst death. Like when Boba Fett escaped it, that stormtrooper he got air from was almost certainly still alive. Also, thank you for saying Darth Vader and not Anakin after his fall to the dark side. Really gets on my nerves when people call his battle on Mustapha 'Anakin vs Obi Wan'. Anakin was gone by then, consumed by Darth Vader as Yoda said.

[@DeeperIntoTheUnknown]

but by saying "Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan" you are referring to their battle on the Death Star

[@TheBlackcredo]

@@DeeperIntoTheUnknown no, it's just they had more than one battle.

[@DeeperIntoTheUnknown]

A few of those deaths were very likely rather quick, some even instantaneous. Wouldn't really call some of them "horrible", maybe tragic. What about someone like Bolla Ropal? In the Clone Wars episode where Cad Bane stole the holocron with the names of the force sensitive children on it, he was the jedi who Bane had tortured to death.

[@subjectdelta4758]

Grievous He was shot in the heart which caused his insides to combust until his insides exploded. The horrifying part is he most likely felt every second of his death as it was happening.

What about that green singer/dancer lady in the beginning of Return of the Jedi, she falls through the floor down to the rancor.

You youngsters need to know before the MPAA butchered the rating system. PG meant something in the 1970s. It meant Parental Guidance it didn't mean family friendly.

Chewie died a heroic death. He definitely deserved a spot.

I feel like "In canon on screen" should be a separate list from "It wasn't actually in the movies and may have happened outside of Canon" but since its "Didn't realize" then we might want to also clarify "not directly on camera" I would have gone with Ola Gamorrean Guard Jawas Mace Windu (unless retconned ) Cindel Towani's family Admerial Akbar Shmi Skywalker Tusken Raiders Owen and Baru Bail Organa but also Grand Moff Tarkin and the entire cast of Rouge One
