Everyone has to die some day. If you ask me, there's been too little character death in the novels and movies.

Re: Omg they.. (Vector Prime spoilers!)

Ah dutch that novel is about 4 years old...

It is sad but imo nessisary, the heroes all ways survived to fight another day while ensign ricky, private bill and ten-thousand generic storm troopers got butchered. By killing a main character it brung the story line closer to home and revitalised the fear of battle.

That being said I don't consider the novels past the yuzagan vong (or what ever they are called) invasion as Lore, chewie was the first of many things to change in the SW universe. But believe me the post GCW novels consider no-one safe.

I know but I just read it tongue Actually I knew Chewie was going to die at some point but didn't know it was in this book lol.

ut still his death seems pretty pointless, if he'd just directed everything from the Falcon he'd still be here :S

Re: Omg they.. (Vector Prime spoilers!)

True, I'd have to agree, it felt like a weak death, Chewie deserved something more regal, even though he died saving others it seems somewhat pointless. It causes Han to resent Anakin, and then when Anakin dies, Solo resents the fact that he resented Anakin, and so it throws everything into some sort of pyschological mess.
