15. Jango Fett Leaps Carelessly Into The Arena For No Reason - Attack Of The Clones
He may have been a damn good bounty hunter, but Jango's decisions to jump headfirst into the arena and try to mess with Mace Windu is his downfall within a minute. Immediately after hitting the arena Jango is trampled on by a rampaging reek, bashing him around more than a little bit. He then decides to try to flee from Mace Windu, who promptly kills the reek before promptly beheading Jango immediately afterwards. If that's not bad enough, history almost repeats itself in the future as Jango's son, Boba Fett, decides to work closely with Jabba the Hutt's criminal organisation and tries to fight against the Jedi. This then leads to his jetpack being accidentally initiated by Han Solo and the bounty hunter's pathetic (presumed) death by slow digestion in the Sarlaac's stomach.
14. Anakin Actually Chooses To Join The Dark Side - Revenge Of The Sith
When it all comes down to it, the decision Anakin made to join the dark side is utterly ridiculous. He's been having some visionary dreams for a few months about his wife kicking the bucket, he feels slightly neglected because Obi-Wan keeps running off on errands and leaving him alone for ages (for reasons which aren't readily apparent) and strikes up a completely unbelievable friendship with Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious in disguise. When Sidious is eventually revealed to Mace Windu and he does battle with his awesomely purple lightsaber, Anakin must make a decision. Should he go against everything he's been taught for 20-odd years about being a good guy or totally forgo his teachings and embrace the dark side just for the hell of it? The latter, naturally. Anakin decides that the only way he'll save Padme is to be evil and kill everyone, including Mace Windu. He then goes on to lead an assault on the Jedi temple immediately afterwards and kills everyone, including the younglings with their sad faces. Yes, because the woman he loves is clearly going to fine with him murdering practically every Jedi in the galaxy.
