00:00Absolutely devastating and savage final stands, shockingly brutal murders, and so-so many horrendous clone ends are just a few
00:08examples of when Star Wars TV tales went the seriously dark, shocking, or heartbreaking route with a demise.
00:16Sometimes it worked a treat and added some serious emotional weight to a story.
00:21Other times, you could argue the creators perhaps went a little bit too far.
00:24Some deaths were even censored when an episode first aired.
00:27Either way, there was just no forgetting these alarming TV deaths after they showed up on your screen.
00:33So, I'm Gareth, this is WhatCultureStarWars, and here are the 10 most messed up deaths in Star Wars TV shows.
00:40Before we get started, we've also done a couple of other versions of this list, so go and check them
00:44out after you finish this video.
00:45We got the sequel trilogy, we got the original trilogy, and you guessed it, we got the prequel trilogy.
00:50Anyway, back to this list.
00:52Number 10, Obi-Wan refuses to help Nari, who is then killed and hung.
00:56Obi-Wan Kenobi was in a pretty dark place during the opening stages of his Disney Plus show.
01:01A decade on from having to slice up his one-time Padawan and watch the Jedi Order fall,
01:07a broken Kenobi had hidden himself away on Tatooine and cut himself off from the Force.
01:12That's why he refused to really help poor Nari when the hunted Jedi begged him for assistance in Part 1.
01:18His fear of being discovered, not being able to protect young Luke Skywalker, and his refusal to believe the surviving
01:24Jedi stood a chance against the Empire,
01:27resulted in him telling Nari to just let it go and live a normal life.
01:32Kenobi was in an unenviable situation here.
01:34Had he helped Nari and tried to fight off the Inquisitors, that could lead the Empire right to Tatooine and
01:40Luke.
01:40But if he just left Nari to fend for himself, then there was always a chance he could be murdered
01:44by those Jedi Hunters.
01:46Sure enough, the latter ultimately happens, with Kenobi then made to look at the dreadful results of his decisions in
01:52the aftermath,
01:53as the Inquisitors hung a lifeless Nari in the middle of Anchorhead.
01:57Number 9, Paz Vizsla fights off the Commandos, but brutally falls to the Praetorian Guards.
02:02The galaxy far, far away has seen some unquestionably brutal last stands,
02:07joining moments like the slaughtering of Ki-Adi-Mundi as he attempted to fend off clones during Order 66,
02:13and Commander Thorn's valiant final moments before being savagely killed by droids,
02:19was Paz Vizsla's awful demise in The Mandalorian Season 3.
02:22After watching him go from a heavy infantry Mandalorian who regularly clashed with Din Djarin,
02:27to a person who was willing to fight alongside both Mando and Bo-Katan Kryze,
02:32this loving father's brave end was a truly painful one.
02:36To ensure the safety of his fellow Mandalorians after they were trapped by Moff Gideon and his forces,
02:41Vizsla unleashed a barrage of blaster fire at the Imperial Commandos, buying his pals some time to escape.
02:48Then, after it seemed like Vizsla had somehow managed to overcome the odds,
02:52any chance of him joining up with his Beskar-plated friends was cruelly destroyed.
02:57Had Vizsla been at full strength, he still would have probably struggled to overcome a trio of badass and merciless
03:03Imperial Praetorian Guards.
03:05But with the big lad already shattered after fending off so many enemies,
03:09the viewer was just forced to watch the inevitable unfold.
03:12It was all quite harrowing.
03:14Sure, he put up a bit of a fight, but a few horrifically accurate slashes and stabs later,
03:19Vizsla had been dispatched in a rather messed up and emotional conclusion to Chapter 23, The Spies.
03:26Number 8. Nemic is crushed and dies on the operating table
03:29A terrific first season of Andor threw out a number of utterly soul-crushing events.
03:35You will ever forget the revelation of Kino Loy's inability to swim, for example.
03:39Not me.
03:40But arguably just as heart-rending and cruel as that occurrence was the way rebel Karis Nemic was horrifically torn
03:47out of this galaxy far, far away.
03:48During Cassian Andor and the gang's heist on Aldani, this idealistic soul was unfortunately crushed by the very payroll they
03:56were trying to rob from the Empire.
03:58He'd managed to avoid being blasted by the various Imperials trying to keep them from achieving their goal,
04:03but was unable to do a thing to stop that heavy weight landing on him as Andor blasted their ship
04:08out of the base.
04:10Despite not being able to feel his legs, Nemic actually managed to hold on long enough to help guide the
04:15team to safety.
04:15In the end, though, his injuries were just too severe to fix,
04:19and Nemic joined the likes of Gorn and Barcona as members of the squad who failed to survive the perilous
04:24mission.
04:25What made Nemic's death more messed up than someone like Skeens, for example,
04:29who was shot by Andor after suggesting they should flee with the money as Nemic was operated on,
04:34was the fact he genuinely believed in the rebel cause, unlike the latter.
04:38He even wrote a manifesto about how the Empire had oppressed the galaxy,
04:42and he believed that they would be defeated one day.
04:44But all of that optimism and passion still could not save him from being a casualty in the fight for
04:49freedom.
04:507. So many clones, particularly the ones infected by brain worms
04:54Each and every clone ever created on Kamino was well aware that there was a good chance they'd fail to
05:01see the end of the Clone Wars.
05:02That being said, very few of them likely expected to go out in the utterly disturbing ways they did at
05:08various points in the titular animated series.
05:10While many a trooper was taken out by a bog-standard blaster shot or explosion,
05:15there were also those who ended up being sliced in half by a door,
05:19slaughtered and broken by rogue Jedi masters,
05:23and disturbingly beheaded by Maul.
05:25Yeah, it was a grim life being a clone at times,
05:27but it somehow gets more messed up than that.
05:29A number of clones ended up being infected by brain worms during the Brain Invaders episode,
05:35with some of these troopers being convinced to kill their own pals via these mind-controlling parasites,
05:41or being impaled by Barriss Offee after trying to bring her to the worm's side.
05:45Put simply, this was one brutal and unsettling show when it wanted to be,
05:49and we will prove that again a few more times before we end this list.
05:52Number 6.
05:53Queel dies trying to protect Grogu
05:55So close, but yet so far.
05:58Here's definitely one way to describe the heartbreaking end of Queel in The Mandalorian.
06:03Introduced during the first season of the hit Disney Plus show,
06:06he was a caring and intelligent Ugnaught who had worked all his life three human lifetimes to earn his freedom.
06:13After helping Din Djarin and his pals throughout that season,
06:16Queel then agreed to protect Grogu during the team's mission to Navarro.
06:20That was the beginning of the effed up end for this sweet soul.
06:23The team decided on a plan that involved Queel heading back to the Razorcrest with Grogu.
06:27The rest would pretend they'd captured Mando and go to the clients with the child's pram in an attempt to
06:33get close enough to kill him.
06:35Only before Queel could make it back,
06:37a pair of scout troopers intercepted Djarin's message telling him to get off the planet.
06:42As the action jumped between Queel getting closer to the ship's opening door on his blurg,
06:47and Mando desperately trying to get a reply from him on his comlink,
06:50everyone feared the worst.
06:52Said worst was then coldly confirmed as a shot of Grogu on the ground suddenly popped on screen,
06:58soon followed by the smoking body of a fallen Queel.
07:02He was within such indistance of saving both himself and the precious child.
07:06But this free Ugnaught tragically could not make it out of Chapter 7, The Reckoning, alive.

07:21Number 5. Savage Opress Beheads the Black Sun
07:24A moment so messed up it was censored when the episode first aired on Cartoon Network.
07:30Savage Opress' killing of the Black Sun crime syndicate was another reminder of just how dark Star Wars The Clone
07:36Wars could be when it felt like it.
07:38Opress' brother Maul had invited the Black Sun to join him and his shadow collective.
07:43However, when the leaders of this group refused, well, things got a little messy.
07:47After Opress had already snapped the neck of a nearby soldier,
07:51Maul soon ordered his apprentice to chuck his lightsaber at the folks sat at the table,
07:56decapitating each and every one of them with one horrifying throw of the laser sword.
08:01This was a, well, yeah, really horrendous end, even for a bunch of not exactly noble criminals.
08:06With each of the beheaded Faleen's bodies lingering in the air for a moment before then crumbling onto the ground.
08:13That truly startling turn of events was enough to convince Zyton Moj,
08:17one of the only Black Sun members left standing, to give Maul precisely what he wanted.
08:22Seeing your pal's heads rolling around on the floor will have that effect on a person.
08:25Number 4. The Stranger Slaughters the Jedi
08:28The acolyte may not have been every Star Wars fan's cup of blue milk,
08:33but one thing pretty much everyone can agree on is that it boasted some of the most barbaric deaths in
08:37the franchise's history.
08:39As a number of Jedi came up against a masked figure wielding a red lightsaber on Kofar during the night
08:45episode,
08:46it soon became clear that they had perhaps bitten off more than they could chew.
08:49In the wake of blasting away the Jedi via the Force,
08:52the Stranger then proceeded to stab and hack his way through many of the Force wielders.
08:57Now those ends were somewhat savage,
09:00but they were nothing compared to what this Darksider did to Jeki and Yord.
09:04Following a pulsating fight between the Stranger, Jeki, and Master Sol,
09:09the young Padawan unfortunately learned the hard way that there was more to this foe than met the eye.
09:14By the time she realized he possessed a 2-for-1 lightsaber, it was simply too late,
09:19with the Stranger using his secret weapon to poke holes in her like she was a microwavable meal.
09:24If that cold and disturbing act of murder didn't let viewers know that this bad dude was not to be
09:31messed with,
09:31then the way he dealt with Yord not long after likely did the trick.
09:35Despite initially getting the better of the person revealed to be Kaimi,
09:38hitting him with his own cortosis helmet and deactivating his lightsaber,
09:42Yord simply could not overpower this enemy and soon had his neck snapped like a twig in front of Sol,
09:49Osha, and Mei.
09:50With or without a lightsaber, Kaimi was one messed up dude capable of some quite messed up things.
09:55Number 3. Mando uses a door for death
09:59Completely gripping viewers within its opening five minutes,
10:03The Mandalorian begins with one of the most badass introductions in all of Star Wars.
10:08Wandering into a bar on the snowy planet of Pagadon,
10:11The Beskar-sporting Din Djarin soon ended up throwing down with a bunch of punters.
10:16Before he managed to save the Mithal he'd been hired to collect though,
10:20Mando coolly provided the galaxy far, far away with one of its most ruthless kills to date.
10:27One of those people who foolishly picked a fight with this Mandalorian decided to bail when they realized what they'd
10:32done.
10:32But before that Quarren could get very far, Djarin yanked them back into the building with his whipcord launcher.
10:38However, instead of just safely bringing them back in from the cold, Mando had other, uh, vicious ideas.
10:44After that enemy fired their blaster at him, Djarin instinctively responded by sending his own shot towards the door switch.
10:51Sure enough, said door then closed on the Quarren, slicing through them like a knife through butter.
10:56The sound of half a body hitting the floor was enough to shut up the room,
11:00and leave viewers at home no doubt stunned at Disney's new Star Wars adventure.
11:05That's one way to get your audience's attention.
11:07Number 2. Satine Kryze is murdered in front of her Obi-Wan.
11:11A decade or so after his master died in his arms on Naboo,
11:15Obi-Wan Kenobi experienced a similar devastating situation on Mandalore.
11:20Only this time, instead of it being Qui-Gon Jinn, it was his beloved Duchess Satine Kryze who'd been murdered
11:26by the horned menace known as Maul.
11:28This despicable act occurred during the lawless episode of Star Wars The Clone Wars,
11:33with the Dathmerian Shadow Collective leader sensing the perfect opportunity for revenge against the Jedi who sliced him in half
11:40during Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.
11:42Not long after foiling Kryze and Kenobi's escape plans, Maul had the pair brought to his throne room,
11:48and it was here when he would force choke the woman Obi-Wan loved whilst he was held back by
11:53guards.
11:54And if that wasn't already all kinds of messed up, Maul then did something unforgivable after realising Kenobi would never
12:01give in to the dark side.
12:03Suddenly impaling her with the dark saber, a crushed Kenobi could do nothing but watch as a dying Kryze told
12:10him she loved him with her final breath.
12:13There's cold-hearted, and then there's Maul. What a messed up menace.
12:17Number 1. Darth Vader's Village Rampage
12:19Though it probably wasn't quite as traumatising as watching someone you love be brutally murdered,
12:24the upsetting rampage that went down in Part 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi still likely left its mark on the
12:30Jedi Master.
12:30The Inquisitors and Darth Vader had found out that the latter's former master was on Mapuzo,
12:36so the Sith Lords soon decided to try and lure out Kenobi using some deadly tactics.
12:42Strutting through the small village where Obi-Wan was hiding,
12:46Vader didn't just start hacking away at civilians like the unstoppable monster viewers had seen in Rogue One A Star
12:52Wars Story.
12:53Nope, this time he opted for a far more cruel and calculated approach,
12:57force-gripping a defenceless onlooker by the throat and squeezing the life out of them,
13:02snapping someone's neck and dragging another trembling villager through the street.
13:08The cyborg's actions here were nothing short of petrifying,
13:11and did ultimately force Kenobi to confront his old apprentice.
13:14The damage had already been done to this terror-stricken town and the viewer, though,
13:18with Vader's brief but brutal killing spree being yet another frightening reminder
13:23of what the Sith Lord was capable of at his sadistic worst.
