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

4. Anakin Kills Shaak Ti - Revenge Of The Sith

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.
