ST Poll: Estimate the Skywalker family kill count through Ep. VIII

See poll.

Death Star alone had nearly 1 million on it.

Anakin’s killings as a Jedi + his Youngling massacare + all other murders between them to the end of ROTJ

+ Kylo Ren’s murders of Jedi students, and any others he murdered.

+ Any kills by Leia

Notable deaths directly from Skywalkers:

Emperor Palpatine
Supreme Leader Snoke
5 Praetorian Guards
Count Dooku
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Han Solo
Grand Moff Tarkin
Jabba the Hutt
All Jedi younglings
3 of Luke’s Jedi students
Accessory to murder of Mace Windu
Admiral Piett
Moff JerJerrod
Padme Amidala (broken heart? Some aren’t so sure)

Any other high profile characters missed?

 

Not high-profile, but Luke killed the Rancor and the Wampa (spell?); and Vader killed Biggs. Luke blowing up the death Star is probably the largest head count, if you're only counting *direct* kills. The next highest is probable Anakin blowing up the Trade Federation dounut ship. Then Anakin's attack on the Jedi temple in Ep III. Then his rampage in Ep. II. Then probably individual killings like individual pilots, stormtroopers, etc. I'm guessing the direct kills other than the Death Star are not very high, probably a couple thousands at most, and mostly from the Trade Federation ship.

 

Direct, or indirect?

Anakin's actions in ROTS and the parallel universe that could have resulted?

 

I feel Anakin/Vader as a best star pilot in the galaxy probably took down enough large manned starships in the wars he fought to bring the number over 1 and half million.

 

Yes, swashbuckling becomes more dangerous as the planet becomes more densely populated and as weapons of mass destruction proliferate. Yes, we are supposed to maintain a healthy division between the wish fulfillment of vicarious bravura and the quotidian responsibility of keeping acting out in check. Yes, swashbuckling results in externalizing waste to marginal parties. Yes, swashbuckling and all general toxic masculinity is going to be reevaluated at this present level of appreciation that there is no other planet to retreat to. Yes, it is a best of times, and a worst of times, for the dominant paradigm. Yes, reflection is in order.

 

More than 1 million.

Less than the Borg Collective.

 

Star Killer base would have been in the hundreds of thousands a direct response to Leia being in charge of the Resistance.....

Also a Super Star Destroyer has a crew of 280,000 so no question the Skywalker's have had a direct of indirect response for the death's of $1.5 million + .

 

I was thinking more directly. As in firing the shot or being there with the weapon or pressing the button.

Because if we tie it to complicity the numbers jump enormously and possibly into the billions of lives (Alderraan/Hosnian system/ships).

So, trying to tie the estimate more to a direct action taken by a member of the Skywalker bloodline was more what I was after.

 

Basically DS1, the rest is just rounding up.

 

Piett died from an A-Wing kamikaze and Jerjerrod died in the 2nd death star explosion caused by Lando and Wedge

 

Definitly over 1,500,000

 

I’d say over

One billion.

 

Alderaan.
The Death Star.
Hosnian Prime.

The big three. Millions of people.

 

to be fair, Alderaan was Tarkin and The Hosnian System was Snoke and Hux. Vader and Kylo seemed cool with it though, so I guess that makes them culpable. Let's hit them with several billion conspiracy to murder charges.
The big one is the DS1. Luke and Anakin probably vanquished their fair share of bad guys. Vader's kill count must be some ridiculous number but millions might be stretching it. Kylo's is likely much less, but probably still a significant amount. Leia also has her fair share of Imperial kills
