Star Wars has never shied away from using deaths to further its storyline, and its outlook tends to be that the more shocking they are, the better. One of the most surprising deaths in the franchise occurs at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith. Anakin’s killing of Count Dooku shook audiences to the core, as it marked a distinct shift in Anakin from a beloved hero to the terrifying villain seen in the original trilogy.A similar death occurs in 2023’s Jedi: Survivor. On his quest for Tanalorr, a Gen’Dai warrior named Rayvis constantly plagues Cal on behalf of former Jedi Dagan Gera. Their rivalry comes to its crux in the observatory on the Shattered Moon, where Cal bests Rayvis in combat. Upon further examination, his death bears striking similarities to Count Dooku’s and had similar consequences on their killers’ psyches.Notably, Anakin didn’t initially want to kill Count Dooku. As he stands before him, sabers crossed to prepare for the end, he informs Palpatine that killing an unarmed prisoner contradicts the Jedi code and, therefore, he shouldn’t go through with it. Instead, they should take him back to the Order, where he will be dealt with accordingly. However, Anakin’s anger gets the better of him. When Palpatine continues pressing him to end his former apprentice’s life, he obeys. Despite this, it cannot be understated that Anakin tried to show him clemency, and perhaps his inability to give it to him made Dooku’s death so impactful.RELATED: Revenge of the Sith Proves Why Movie Tie-In Games Are a Good Thing
