10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Wars TV Shows
8. Nemik Is Crushed & Dies On The Operating Table - Andor
The terrific first season of Andor threw out a number of utterly soul-crushing events.
Who will ever forget the revelation of Kino Loy's inability to swim, for example?
But arguably just as heart-rending and cruel as that occurrence was the way rebel Karis Nemik was horrifically torn out of this galaxy far, far away.
During Cassian Andor and the gang's heist on Aldhani, this idealistic soul was unfortunately crushed by the very payroll they were trying to rob from the Empire.
He'd managed to avoid being blasted by the various Imperials trying to keep them from achieving their goal, but was unable to do a thing to stop that heavy weight landing on him as Andor blasted their ship out of the base.
Despite not being able to feel his legs, Nemik actually managed to hold on long enough to help guide the team to safety. In the end, though, his injuries were too severe to fix, and Nemik joined the likes of Gorn and Barcona as members of the squad who failed to survive the perilous mission.
What made Nemik's death more messed up than someone like Skeen's - who was shot by Andor after suggesting they should flee with the money as Nemik was operated on - was the fact he genuinely believed in the rebel cause, unlike the latter. He even wrote a manifesto about how the Empire had oppressed the galaxy and he believed that they would be defeated one day. But all of that optimism and passion still couldn't save him from being a casualty in the fight for freedom.
