Star Wars Universe / Re: luke skywalkers death?
« on: November 3, 2006, 09:24 AM »I personally don't think main characters should die in EU, Chewie's death was a pointless thing to do.
Actually, by saving Anakin and knowing he probably wouldn't make it back, Chewie achieved total fulfillment of his Life Debt to Han Solo (and by extention his family). I'm certainly pissed that it happened, but giving his life to save one of the Solos is exactly in character for our favorite Wookiee. I think the EU was at a point where there was too much of the "superweapon" vs. our heros and the heros always coming out on top and unscathed. While abrupt and sudden, Chewie's death serves to remind us all that people, even heroes, die and that death is but part of the cycle of the Force. The new series also has a dark side to it and I can't wait for the 3rd book!
