20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

Though it was admittedly nowhere near as deadly as the Episode that came before it - you know, the one that saw an entire planet getting blown to smithereens - The Empire Strikes Back did still involve a grand total of 46,987 lives being taken out at various stages in the tale.

What likely will come as a rather significant shock to those who have regularly consumed the grittier follow-up to A New Hope, however, is precisely which on-screen figure is responsible for the tied most kills in Episode V.

According to ListOfDeathsWiki, alongside the supposed hero of the day Luke Skywalker, none other than Captain Wedge Antilles can claim to being the deadliest presence in the 1980 hit. Both Rebel men killed 43 individuals each, sitting a significant way above Chewbacca's third place total of 7.

So much for being the good guys, eh?
