5. So Many Decapitations

While already touched upon slightly with The Clone Wars series' openness to indulge in the detaching of skull from torso, Star Wars doesn't half have a habit of making their various characters lose their heads on our screens.

And though some folks out there may have grown a touch desensitised to the sight of an alien or human getting their noggin sliced off by various forms of lightsaber over the years, that still doesn't change the fact that this violent way of ending a conflict is about as grisly as they come.

Take your pick from Mace Windu's slicing off of Jango Fett's Mandalorian helmet in front of his boy before his lifeless face slipped out mid-fall, to Count Dooku's disturbing skull roll after falling victim to Anakin Skywalker's gradual descent into darkness, brutal decapitations are all part of the truly traumatic family Star Wars experience.
