10 Most Disturbing Star Wars Moments

Sticking with the Clone Wars' penchant for pushing the limits when it came to thoroughly disturbing and shocking its younger audience, few deaths held a candle to the one experienced by pacifist Mandalorian ruler Duchess Satine Kryze in terms of sheer savageness during Season Five's sixteenth episode; "The Lawless".

Determined to push his old nemesis "KENOBI!!" over the edge and into the Dark Side by provoking his hatred and anger within, Maul takes to Force choking Obi-Wan's beloved within the throne room on Mandalore before his very eyes. Upon defiantly refusing to opt for the weak way out, though, Kenobi is then forced to helplessly witness Satine be emphatically impaled by the Dark Saber.

The lingering shot on Kryze's desperate face as she lets loose a few last agonising breaths, the close-up on Kenobi's devastated mug as the realisation of this excruciating scenario washes over him, it all makes for one of the most daring and distressing executions you'll find within this space-aged saga.

When it comes to delivering the emotional haymakers, Clone Wars simply refused to pull any of its punches.
