10 Star Wars Characters You Didn't Realise Probably Died Horrible Deaths

10. Owen And Beru

Although being generally the most inoffensive of the Star Wars films, A New Hope still had its fair share of censored graphic moments, despite its PG rating.

After spending time with the old Jedi wizard, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and learning about his father's past during the Clone Wars, Luke Skywalker quickly rushes home upon realising that Imperial Stormtroopers had managed to track the wanted droids back to his homestead. Unfortunately for Luke, by the time he reaches his destination, all he is left with is the burnt-out shell of his home, and the singed corpses of his aunt and uncle.

Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen met a cruel and undeserving demise, though it is not totally clear who murdered the moisture farmers. For a while, some fans theorised it was Boba Fett who committed this heinous act, disintegrating the two on orders of the Empire, which could also explain why Darth Vader made such a point to ban Fett from using disintegration during The Empire Strikes Back. Still, it is more probable that Imperial Stormtroopers killed Owen and Beru, likely using Incinerator Troopers to cook the pair alive in their home, as they unsuccessfully pleaded for mercy.
