Many characters have go bad tragic deaths in the Star Wars franchise . But which deaths have been the saddest , and why ? Which ones had the most wallop ?
15Omega and Hunter Reuniting
Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Star war : The Bad Batchseason 3 was truly an worked up curler coaster . As the show ’s last season , it had considerable piece of work to do in terms of wrap up the narration ofClone Force 99 , and , given it started with Omega being trap on Mount Tantiss by the Empire and experimented upon , thing did n’t look positivistic . Despite the Bad Batch crew searching for her , it was n’t decipherable whether she would ever escape the Empire , peculiarly given how concealed and locked down the facility was .
Star war : The Bad Batchseason 3 was in truth an emotional tumbler coaster .
However , with the aid of none other than Crosshair , which append an even more emotional bed to this situation , Z made her way back to Hunter and Wrecker . While Omega ’s reunion with Wrecker was certainly touching , with Wrecker even spinning her around and the two hugging , it could n’t top the second she see Hunter again . When Hunter appeared , Omega was suspend with joyfulness before running to him , make this in truth one of the most bout - jerking moments inStar Wars .
14The Little Leia Reveal
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi - Wan Kenobiwas sure to be full of emotion , as it was choke to be a major update to Obi - Wan’sStar Warsstory and , based on teasers and trailers , focus on him watching over Luke on Tatooine 10 years afterStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith . However , the first sequence ball over audiences by revealing that not only Luke but also Leia would be appearing . This was also doubly emotional .
Getting to see a younger Leia was touching in and of itself , butgiven the departure of original Princess Leia actress Carrie Fisher , it was even more so . The young actress portray petty Leia , Vivien Lyra Blair , also utterly trance the kernel of Princess Leia and the unparalleled touches Carrier Fisher had bring to the character . Both that , and the fact that her show was entirely unexpected , really did have me in tears .
13The Clones' Mass Grave
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Star Wars : The Clone Warsmay be an animated show , but its aroused weight and subject matter make it clean the show is n’t only for youngster . Many section ofThe Clone Warsare utterly savage , from plots about thraldom to barbarous murders . Perhaps the most difficult to watch , however , was the mortal mass murder of the Jedi during Order 66 and the ramifications the attack had not only on the Jedi but also on the clones .
Clone Protocol Order 66 caused once - loyal Clone troopers in Star Wars to wipe out the Jedi , but a handful managed to live on this initial purging .
This was certainly the cause regarding how Ahsoka Tano’sClone Warsstory ended . Despite doing her very right to avoid fighting or killing the clones who had been govern to kill her and were under the restraint of the inhibitor chip , ultimately , all the clone who had been with her , except Captain Rex , drop dead . Even more tragic , one of the terminal scenes in the show revealed that Ahsoka had taken the metre to lay to rest them , and she stood in eerie quiet , depend out over the bulk grave .
12Satine’s Death
One of the cruelest death in all ofThe Clone Warswas Duchess Satine Kryze , Bo - Katan ’s older sister and once the ruler of Mandalore , who was amazingly bring out to be Obi - Wan ’s love interest in the show . After Darth Maul had attacked Mandalore , he cope to trance Satine and entice Obi - Wan there to try retaliation . Once he had , he ruthlessly killed Satine in front of Obi - Wan .
This was plain withering because Satine had die — and in such a frigid , heartless way . However , it was also terribly sad becauseit reinforced the retentive , unspeakable life of loss Obi - Wan had . InStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Obi - Wan watched his master , Qui - Gon Jinn , be burn down in front of him ( also by Darth Maul ) , and he would finally live to see Order 66 persuade out and have to fight his own champion , the mortal he run across as a buddy , Anakin Skywalker , well-nigh to the expiry .
11Anakin Holding Shmi As She Dies
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
While Anakin ’s actions throughout the prequel trilogy certainly ca n’t be justified , it was nevertheless a devastating moment when he found his mother link up up , on the brink of death , and clearly suffering wound from torture inStar Wars : Episode III - Attack of the Clones . Shmi Skywalker then fail in his arm , ineffective to make out the sentence"I love you"before pass . This was distressing not only for Anakin but also for Shmi , who certainly merit better .
This was lamentable not only for Anakin but also for Shmi , who for sure deserve better .
Shmi had been a sincerely excellent mother , selflessly allow Anakin impart Tatooine and get off their animation of hardship to become a Jedi , even if it intend never seeing her beloved boy again . Her death was also difficult to swallow as it seemed so random and unnecessary ; why the Tusken Raiders pour down Anakin ’s female parent has n’t quite been explicate . While Anakin ’s debacle of the Tusken Raiders that followed was certainly alarming , Shmi ’s death and Anakin find it utterly had me in tears .

10Seeing Ahsoka At Padmé’s Funeral
Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi
Star warfare : tale of the Jediwas a particularly excitingStar Warsshow because it really felt like something young . The show ’s six installment included a three - episode arc each for Ahsoka Tano and ex - Jedi Count Dooku , and both arc proceed through time . The last sequence of the show , " Resolve , " abide by Ahsoka just after the event ofRevenge of the Sith , shockingly beginning with Padmé ’s funeral .
Tales of the Jedi yoke the Star Wars timeline go as far back as before The Phantom Menace , up to the sovereignty of the Empire before A New Hope .
find out Ahsoka at the funeral was brutal for several reasons . For one , she had to do so in concealing , as the Jedi were still being hunted down and executed . However , the scene was yet another reminder of how Ahsoka had miss everything . The Jedi and the Republic had both fallen , the masses she had been close to were almost all all in , and she believed her master , Anakin Skywalker , to be dead too ( although he really had a fate worse than death ) . However , what pushed me to tears was Ahsoka ’s pained look as she said,“She was my friend . "
9Uncle Owen And Aunt Beru Protecting Little Luke With Their Lives
Of all the inclusions on this list , Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen fight back footling Luke Skywalker with their spirit as his aunt and uncle inObi - Wan Kenobiis one of few that still have me call any meter I learn it . Although , of grade , as adoptive parent , they would sleep together Luke as a Logos , this dynamic was n’t as clear inA New Hope . In fact , not only do Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen seem less affiliated inA New Hope , but also , Luke has very little reaction to their Death , despite them being sear skeletons in front of him .
Their reply to Reva Sevander , one ofthe Imperial Inquisitors , coming to the Lars Farm to vote out Luke was therefore a pleasant and passing excited surprise . Despite Inquisitor being fearsome even to powerful Jedi , neither Owen nor Beru hesitated to literally throw their bodies between Reva and Luke to pull through him . Knowing that Luke was so loved by his auntie and uncle had me amply sobbing upon my first watch and still pose me every time .
8Uncle Owen Saying “He Is My Own”
In the larger incredible scene of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen protecting Luke against Reva , Owen had one unsounded line in exceptional that was the most emotional . As Owen chance his life to test and prevent Reva from getting to Luke , Reva , clearly blur by his willingness to sacrifice himself , said,“You really love the boy … like he ’s your own . “In response , in perhaps the most emotive consequence Uncle Owen has in the intact dealership , he replied,“He is my own . "
Although legal brief , Owen ’s reaction was an unbelievably meaningful one inStar Wars . Much of Luke ’s story has been overtop by the fact that Vader was his biologic father . However , this moment inObi - Wan Kenobiwas a clear reminder that Luke had another father who bed him , too . On the one manus , this is a touching instance of a healthy family connection inStar Wars ; on the other , though , knowing that Anakin and Padmé ’s son was loved will always make me cry .
This moment inObi - Wan Kenobiwas a unclouded reminder that Luke had another forefather who loved him , too .
7Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor’s Deaths
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Rogue One : A Star Wars Storywas an amazing addition toStar Warsmovies , as it focused not on the Jedi nor onthe Skywalker crime syndicate treebut rather on the everyday somebody who were also being subjected to the brutality and violence of the Empire during the Dark Times . However , the outlook seemed bleak from the very beginning , as neither Jyn Erso nor Cassian Andor had appeared in otherStar Warsmovies , and their study contend the Empire certainly put them in hurt ’s way .
Even knowing that and having a impregnable feeling they were going to die , though , I was badly - prepared for the annihilating death both characters had at the end ofRogue One . After effectively hold launch the galaxy by sending the Rebels the data on the Death Star that would ultimately reserve them to destroy it , Jyn and Cassian comprehend as they were killed in an detonation . It was an absolutely devastating death to two characters who , although they ’d only just been introduced , had already become dear .
6Obi-Wan Overpowering Vader With Memories Of Luke And Leia
While merely seeing little Leia inObi - Wan Kenobiwas emotional enough , the show then get on to depict Obi - Wan and Leia ’s human relationship developing into something rather close-fitting and lovesome . This was peculiarly meaningful , asLuke and Leia were the last ties Obi - Wan had to the human being Anakin once was . However , nothing could have prepare me for the picture in which Obi - Wan and Darth Vader have their final face - off .
After Vader had get off rocks vanish on top of Obi - Wan , nearly demolish him , Obi - Wan begin hearing Anakin and Vader ’s disturbing , taunt word in his pass , which seemed to weaken his ability to block up the rocks from totally falling and crush him . However , when he begin picturing Luke and Leia , not only Anakin ’s fry but also the hope for the future , he was able-bodied to overcome the attack and survive .
