15 Best Movie Deaths Of 2017
9. Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo
Throughout the run of The Last Jedi Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo played her cards close to her chest, coming into conflict with dashing rebel pilot Poe Dameron over their differing strategies as to how to tackle the First Order fleet and putting into question what her true intentions really were.
Turns out she was a bad*ss hero and knew exactly what she was doing all along. She sacrificed herself to give her fellow Resistance fighters a chance of escaping to safety by ramming her ship head-on into the Supremacy at hyperspace speed and obliterating a good chunk of the enemy into kingdom come in a beautifully heroic blaze of glory.
Going out in such a valiant and selfless way truly redeems Holdo of her earlier inaction and makes for one of 2017’s most breath-taking scenes. RIP, you purple-haired warrior. We hardly knew ye.
