10 Star Wars Deaths That Should NEVER Have Happened

Hopping back to Disney+'s latest live-action Star Wars TV adventure, the first season of Ahsoka saw another enigmatic individual getting killed rather unexpectedly.

Before showing up in this show, Morgan Elsbeth was last seen colliding with the titular Force-wielder during The Mandalorian's second season. Here, Ahsoka defeated The Magistrate, leading to Tano requesting information about Grand Admiral Thrawn's whereabouts.

Jump forward to the time of Ahsoka's first season, and after ultimately escaping the clutches of the New Republic and discovering that her master was trapped on the extragalactic world of Peridea, Elsbeth eventually jumped to that galaxy to rescue Thrawn.

After all that hard work, she was then rewarded with the Gift of Shadows and powerful Blade of Talzin before agreeing to stay behind and keep Tano and co. from thwarting Thrawn's plans to get off-world.

But it was that move which eventually resulted in this spooky Nightsister suddenly being taken out by Tano after yet another wonderful duel between the two in the show's finale.

Not long after seemingly being given a boost by the Great Mothers and handed such an impressive weapon, Elsbeth was just given the same treatment as Marrok, sliced through the stomach before she could ever really grow into a properly terrifying threat. Which was a bit of a let-down, really.

Again, Nightsister magick could help reverse a death some feel was a waste of the character's potential later on. But for now, it does seem like Elsbeth's story has come to a frustratingly premature end.
