Star Wars: 10 Exact Moments We Knew These Characters Were Doomed
5. Leia Calling Out To Ben Harkens Back To Luke's Passing - The Rise Of Skywalker
While it was admittedly one of the more divisive Star Wars passings, the sight of Luke Skywalker finally becoming one with the Force after projecting himself across the galaxy in an attempt to reconcile with former student Kylo Ren, whilst simultaneously aiding the future of the Jedi in Rey, was one that had a lasting and profound effect on the grand finale of the Skywalker Saga.
One film on from The Last Jedi, Ren was once again tasked with duking it out with Palpatine's grandkid, yet the fallen Jedi was again stopped in his tracks by a force sensitive relative, this time in the form of his mother General Leia Organa.
Acting as another life-draining projection of sorts from across the galaxy, it was evident from the second that Leia hobbled away to contact her son that this was to be the final act for the legendary figure.
The tragic real-life passing of Carrie Fisher also left many sensing that the series would give the iconic face a fitting send-off at some point in the saga-ender, too. And in acting as the catalyst that would bring Ben back towards the light, Leia's final action felt as meaningful as it did gut-wrenching.
