9 Most Brutal Acts Of Revenge In Star Wars

5. Sarlacc Snack - Return Of The Jedi

Count Dooku Revenge of the Sith
Lucasfilm

By its very nature, Return of the Jedi featured several worthy servings of revenge. With this movie being the concluding leg of an intended trilogy of Star Wars pictures, it was only natural that the film tied up certain loose ends - which often led to many a person getting their comeuppance.

One such person who was on the receiving end of a cold dish of revenge in Revenge of the Jedi was Boba Fett. For this Mandalorian warrior, he was sent into the depths of the Sarlacc Pit and left to spend centuries being slowly digested by the beast that resides within said pit.

Being perfectly honest, this whole scene plays like slapstick comedy as the blinded Han Solo accidentally knocks Boba flying to his demise. Still, this was most certainly an act of revenge - and the slow-digesting nature of Fett's fate makes this an utterly brutal way for the famed bounty hunter to go out.

Some may label Boba Fett's implied death as being a perfect dose of karma, for it was Fett who delivered the frozen-in-carbonite Solo to Jabba the Hutt.
