"Death is just another path. One that we all must take." Oh wait, that’s a different franchise. Nonetheless, dealing with loss is a staple to great storytelling, and Star Wars makes us deal with our fair share of loss. As tends to be a tradition with the Star Bros, we dig deep into yet another obscure topic to see how Star Wars uses death to propel our characters arcs forward, the difference in how the Jedi and Sith view death, and the different rituals used to mourn and respect the fallen. And surprisingly, we make it a fun topic too!
