10 Recent Movie Deaths Which Left Audiences Completely Stunned

Luke Skywalker was the hero for generations of children. He was the protagonist of a franchise that changed lives, the character that millions latched onto as the beacon of hope, the hero that the galaxy needed.

Seeing him as a major character in The Last Jedi again was incredibly emotional, and his death was stunning in its emotional power and surprise. It felt impossible to process that Luke Skywalker was dead afterwards, it seemed like something that could never happen.

The emotional power of Luke’s final scene with his sister Leia is one of the most beautiful in recent memory, a moment that fans had been waiting to see again for over thirty years. It was a scene embedded with the passing of Carrie Fisher, making their final moments even more devastating as two people that love each other say goodbye for the final time.

Him accepting his time for death after his confrontation with Kylo Ren was genuinely shocking since Luke being alive in Episode 9 felt like a guarantee. He did what his mentor Obi-Wan did all those years ago, inspired the next generation with an emotional sacrifice, finally finding peace in himself and in the Force.
