There’s this thing that needs to change in Star Wars. Characters need to stop coming back to life, or when you're dead, you should stay dead. When I see a character die, I’m expecting them to return in a way. We’ve seen this countless times and times again. The only “deaths” we see are when you're a droid and get absolutely obliterated or get blown up, but this might change soon, no way Gideon with a full beskar suit was engulfed in flames, so he might come back, which will continue this trend. I’m gonna name a few characters that I feel like should’ve stayed dead, or even suspected to be dead, also I'm not counting books, comics. Those aren't canon
1.) Palpatine
If you're gonna bring back the 2nd most intimidating being in the galaxy, you should’ve given us something to work with. Instead we got his return in the crawl credits. His story was literally complete when Darth Vader threw him down the shaft, there was no need for his return.
2.) Mace Windu
Now I don’t care for all the theories and speculation. He was thrown out a window form like 200+ ft, while being electrocuted by a full rageful sith. He dead, and should stay dead. It would be interesting to see him return, but I don’t want him to
3.) Boba Fett
Boba was the most bada$$ character in the universe, just a nod and a look would scare you. Now I didn’t want Boba to “die” in Return of the Jedi, but what really comes after is why he’s on this list. His appearance in The Mandalorian s2 was absolutely amazing, but how he was treated in his own show, He was soft, weak, stupid, and frankly, just an old fart. I’m not gonna lie saying that I liked him dead
4.) Reva
I know she didn’t die, but she should’ve. How the bloody hell did she survive two freaking saber stabs from Vader?? She should’ve died
5.) Ahsoka
Yeah yeah yeah, I think she should’ve died when she fought Vader, (I haven’t seen all of rebels so I don’t know that MCU makeshift multiverse thing) so I don’t know the full thing
6.) Cad Bane
I love Cad, but they did my man dirty in TBOBF, to the look and execution. As much as I hate to see my man go out like an absolute chump, he should stay dead.
7.) I-G11: He served his purpose, now he’s back….
8.) Rey
We I don’t like Rey soo...also where did Ben learn force healing as well?? might as well give C3-PO the force
What this list is mainly about is how these characters come back with no impact nor a really good purpose, like we see countless of characters getting stabbed and surviving, Qui-gon left the chat. However, there is one exception, the return of Maul.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maul situation
This one isn’t a con, but an automatic pro. Maul’s return in the Clone Wars is what should be an example of a returning character from the dead, Dave Filoni brought back Maul and made him a force to be reckoned with. Making him an (partial) unstoppable force. It gave him so much more character traits. Just look at his role in the 5-7 seasons of Clone Wars, his Mandalore arc was the best in all of Clone Wars IMO. His time on the throne, him with Savage, and his story starting and ending with Kenobi, just perfection.His appearance in SOLO was just fan service, but it was still cool for me to see him. Even down to his death. Maul is the best example on how you should bring back a dead character.
