8 Star Wars Moments You Never Got To See (But Are Canon)

4. Anakin Kills Shaak Ti - Revenge Of The Sith

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Shaak Ti Death

Shaak Ti is basically the Sean Bean of the Jedi Order (just obviously without the Yorkshire accent). The character has had so many deaths over the course of the last 15 years you would think that someone at Lucasfilm has it in for the Togruta Jedi, who suffered two different demises in Revenge of the Sith alone.

Ti's initial death involved her being executed by General Grievous as Obi-Wan and Anakin attempt to rescue Chancellor Palpatine in Episode III. That scene was cut presumably because the 2003 Clone Wars series placed Ti on Coruscant's surface after failing to stop Grievous kidnapping the chancellor, but either way another death scene was drawn up and it involved Ti being murdered by Darth Vader while meditating at the Jedi temple.

That scene also never made it to the final cut, and the 2008 video game The Force Unleashed revealed Ti survived Order 66, only to be killed by the game's protagonist, Starkiller. The Force Unleashed was erased from continuity in 2014, and a vision of Ti's death seen by Yoda that referenced her murder by Vader occurred in the sixth season of The Clone Wars.

In many ways Schrodinger's Jedi, Ti's death at the hands of Vader was finally confirmed in Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, which released in 2016.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
