    Shmi's death is the most important death in the Saga, IMO. It's also the most emotionally moving, both in-film and for the audeience


    It gets my vote for sure! It's just so sad :_|

    Obiwan's is the best - it's just an amazing act of self-sacrifice and self-control.

    However, I will say that the Nameless Ewok is the most emotionally moving: the way his friend shakes him to see if he's alive, then lets out that little moan - I don't know how, but it really gets me. :_|

    oh man, all of those were so sad! i used to cry everytime about that ewok, and of course when anakin (ROTJ) died, and yoda lol....i never was really that sad about obi-wan :confused: i guess cuz he was back so soon and we didn't reall know him that well to begin with, but i did cry when qui-gon died....SO SAD! jango fett's i am just neutral on, darth maul's and palpatine's were just too awesome to be sad lol, and shmi's didn't really get me that badly either

    Obi's death: i had this whole idea of the jedi order built around him, and then i see him give his life like that.. it got to me :_| .. the little smirk he gives Luke and then Vader right before he lifts his lightsaber is priceless! =D=

    Yoda's death was the best in the whole saga.

    Mace death was the best of the saga. It signifiea the end of the Jedi.

    Jango Fett is decapitated by Mace Windu (Episode II)

    Mainly because Mace is a BMF and Jango was a ponce who thought he could take out a few Jedi.

    My other favorite death scene is where Jar Jar in destroyed on Alderon. Look for it in the new trilogy pack. It's on ANH chapter 7, there is a new scene where Bail Organa and Jar Jar are arm wrestling and Alderon takes a direct hit from the Death Star.

    Qui-Gon Jinn dies in Obi-Wan's arms (Episode I) which is also the saddest one too.

    I had to vote for Anakin's scene because it has the most impact on the trilogy. But the two other scenes I really like are Qui-Gon's and Obi-Wan's for different reason.

    I voted for Qui-Gon...that scene gets me every time! Obi-Wan's grief is almost tangible - the man he regarded as a father is dying...@};-

    Joint second: Anakin's redemption by his son before he dies...@};-

    And Obi-Wan's death on the Death Star. That knowing look that he gives Luke and Vader before sacrificing himself... @};-

    definitely yoda's. I almost want to start smoking so I can die a slow death and have my last words be "there is another....skywalker..."

    Obi-Wan, just ahead of Anakin, as the most moving. (Admittedly I always found the latter the most moving until the PT ruined Anakin for me).

    Coolest would probably be Maul getting sliced in half.

    The Anakin death scene is still the most moving for me. Obi-Wan's death probably comes in second.

    Palpatine makes the best exit, I think.

    I had to go with Anakin's; it's the saga's story coming to an end.


    But there's something to be said for the unceremonious thump of Greedo's smoking corpse hitting the table before he even knew what was going on.

    Anakin's death; it's the most moving death scene in the entire Saga and it's also a finishing point. The Saga comes to an end as he dies. Sad, but poignant and absolutely beautiful. :_|

    Although I also get choked up just a bit whenever I watch Qui-Gon's and Obi-Wan's death scenes.
