15 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2017's Biggest Movies
8. Luke Skywalker - Star Wars: Episode VIII
Why He Should Die
Well there are two reasons: first is the fact that his continued presence will get in the way of Rey's development. She needs to be the navigator of her own arc, which is precisely why Obi Wan and Yoda were both removed from the Original Trilogy at key points in Luke's own development.
And secondly, Star Wars rhymes, and if Luke has become this generation's iteration of Obi-Wan, he's going to have to suffer the same fate.
How He'll Die
Perhaps by the hand of his nephew, whose evil would be cemented nicely by taking the scalp of another original trilogy character or by Snoke, who needs a big notch to his belt to confirm that his power is more than simply symbolic.
Expect it to be a symbolic sacrifice too, because of the whole rhyming thing.
