10 Star Wars Deaths That Should NEVER Have Happened

From the moment a certain red spinning lightsaber-wielding figure popped up during the trailers for Disney+'s Ahsoka series, folks began speculating about exactly who this potential Inquisitor was.

Said mystery continued on throughout the first few episodes of the show, with the spooky helmet-wearing mercenary known as Marrok largely just knocking around with Baylan Skoll and Morgan Elsbeth or clashing with Ahsoka Tano, all without officially revealing who/what was underneath said mask.

Would Marrok ultimately reveal himself to be one of Ahsoka's old enemies from her past, or even a more recognisable and shocking face like Ezra Bridger?

Sadly not.

He was just unceremoniously killed during his second duel with Anakin Skywalker's apprentice in episode four, with the only real clue as to who Marrok was coming in the form of the green mist and screams that escaped his body after Tano unleashed the fatal blow.

Was he actually a Nightbrother all along? That green gas certainly looked similar to the magick used by the Nightsisters seen elsewhere in the series, a power that has also been used to bring the dead back to life.

Perhaps Dave Filoni and co. still have plans for the strange Force-sensitive villain in the upcoming season two, and will find a way to reanimate one of the biggest mysteries in recent Star Wars history.

If not, though, most would likely agree the intriguing new antagonist was taken way too soon, being disappointingly cut down without ever fully explaining what in the hell Marrok even was.
