    Death in Star Wars is like death in a comicbook. It’s only permanent when it’s necessary for the story and sometimes not even then.

      Star Wars follows Game of Thrones rules, if the head don’t come off then they aren’t dead necessarily.

        Dooku had his head cut off at the neck. Darth Maul had his head and torso cut off at the waist. So the Star Wars permadeath threshold is somewhere lower than the neck and higher than the waist.

    The more Star wars content that comes out the more annoyed I get. There are trillions people living on millions of planets but let’s keep looking at these 40 people, and make sure they visit tatooine at some point. Let’s see something new, anything, please.

      As far as I can tell, it’s probably referencing her various unused death scenes. There were at least two in ROTS, for example. In the old EU, she eventually got an official death in The Force Unleashed with Starkiller being the one to do it. Current continuity has her killed by Anakin during his raid on the Jedi Temple during ROTS, but off-screen.
