An honorable mention. Yoda separates Clone troopers heads from their bodies in Revenge of the Sith, not to mention Leia strangling Jabba in Return of the Jedi.

[rainbowrunner]

Why isn't Order 66 on this list? The way so many Jedi are gunned down by their Clone Troopers just hits you hard, which is only elevated by John Williams's score.

An honorable mention. General Grievous' grievous end in Revenge of the Sith. Having the remains of his organic parts and shot in the chest several times and being burnt down is a pretty haunting scene.

Growing up with 'original trilogy', being a 'grown man' (early '40's) I literally cried like a toddler when Han Solo

[primalthunder]

Chewie’s loud roar when Han is brutally stabbed through the chest will always be upsetting to me. I can’t imagine the trauma of watching your best friend get gutted by a lightsaber.

Awesome list! Seeing Alderaan in all its beautiful glory in the Obi-wan series only makes the planet's inevitable destruction all the more painful!

[clindholm]

I have to say, Han Solo is higher on the list for me. There is something truly disturbing about a child killing a parent, and that moment when Han caresses his son’s face….

[ashleyw]

How is killing a bunch of innocent kids not even on this list let alone number 1

[matthewchelette]

The Tuskin raiders is a great number 1. It does foreshadow one of the many steps Anakin Skywalker takes to becoming Darth Vader. I do agree that Han Solo’s death was unexpected too.

#10. “He is as clumsy as he is stupid.” Those are smart words from the Dark Lord.
#9. And Han thought acquiring three for King Prana was a good idea!
#8. I was so unprepared for that upon seeing it in theaters!
#7. That’s the main reason I hate Jabba in _Return of the Jedi._
#6. That’s another death I didn't see coming.
#5. “He never loses his head.” Right...
#4. Their deaths will always be remembered.
#3. I mean, Dantooine did get checked in a short story from a short story collection commemorating the 40th anniversary of _A New Hope._
#2. I’d hate to see my aunt and uncle from South Carolina go out like that.
#1. And that’s why you abandon attachments if you’re a Jedi.

Maybe it was expected, but "Apology accepted, Captain Needa" was always one of my favorites.

[CatherineLee]

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Anakin kills seventeen defenseless Battle Droids.

[moffjerjerrod]

When Vader rampages in the Rebel ship at the end of 'Rogue One' was brutal. Pinning that one guy to the ceiling then slicing him in half was hardcore and a long needed look at Vader's brutality that had been hinted at for so long.

[Juttyet]

10:30 kinda funny how George didn’t write episode 5 yet and had Owen say that about Luke’s dad

[antoniokastrocarlisledemel]

It only took me seeing episode 3 once when it first came out for it to take Return of the Jedi's place as my favorite Star Wars movie.. almost 18 yrs later it remains in that #1 spot and the first 15 min is a major reason why..ive always loved the prequels but i was thinking maybe 3 wouldn't live up to my expectations but it surpassed them in many areas and the combat and space battles is 2 of em though i wish the Dooku fight was longer and i was bummed out that Dooku died so early as Christopher Lee made him into such a bad ass but that scene where Sidious tells Anakin to kill him and the way Dooku looks almost like he's going to beg for his life but then he just accepts his fate and Anakin afterwards..i just really love almost everything about that movie..its real nice to see the prequels finally get some recognition and appreciation but they deserve much more

[Tanstaafl_]

Young people made this list. Anyone who was alive when A New Hope was released, who got to know Han as a small child, who grew up with Han, who loved Han since the 70s...for them there was no more brutal death than Han Solo. It hit hard. It should have been number 1 on this list.

[AirbenderHawk]

DEW IT!!!!

The first two words to ever be uttered by the great Emperor Palpatine, and Ian pulled off the role since ROTJ to absolute perfection. The deaths in this franchise or any other franchises can be unexpected or seeing it coming.

[haljordan]

Dooku was my dude, but I understand he had to go so my hero Vader could take his place.

[volanskyeful]

Lest we not forget when Ahsoka beheads 4 Death Watch mandalorians at the same time
