Summary
Star Warshas had infinite brilliant eccentric over the old age , many of whom had very satisfying tarradiddle arcs ; however , 10 character in particular deserved better than the level or the finale they received . ThroughouttheStar Warstimeline , many character have experienced terrible tragedies , but some have suffer substantially more than others . Particularly throughout the Skywalker Saga , several key fictitious character had an uneven amount of hardship .
The issue is n’t only a question of who has experienced the worst moments , though ; many characters have also had their story bow spend or finish too presently . While someupcomingStar Warsmoviesmay name and address these news report , several characters nevertheless have yet to get a fairish shake . Of allStar Warscharacters , these 10 especially deserved far well .
10Finn
First Appeared:Star Wars: The Force Awakens
As John Boyega himself has said , Finn had a very unsatisfying arc in theStar Warssequel movies despite his promise initially . Finn was introduced inStar Wars : The Force Awakens , and he was bill as the potential next major Jedi of the franchise . Finn was even show in promotional materials holding a lightsaber and , although he does cease up control the lightsaber in the movie , it was a bit of a crimson herring , as Finn did n’t at long last become a Jedi in the trilogy .
Even without Finn finish the flick as a Jedi or on a Jedi path , though , The Force Awakensstill presented Finn as a fascinating character . As an ex - stormtrooper who had been taken from his home as a child , Finn was complex and sympathetic . Unfortunately , his character electric arc fizzled over the course of the three continuation movies , with him ending up little more than a persona always chasing after Rey and shout her name .
9Poe Dameron
Like Finn , Poe Dameron was introduced inThe Force Awakensand was right away an exciting character . His satire and aviate skills were remindful of original trilogy devotee - favourite Han Solo , and he won hearing over with his escape plan alongside Finn in the first subsequence picture show . Poe had arguably an even bad arc , though , because while he too suffered being sideline to make room for Rey ’s and Kylo Ren ’s complicated stories , he also had his reputation gravely damaged .
InStar warfare : The Last Jedi , Poe transitioned from a suave Han Solo - adjacent character to an self-conceited , heady buffer who jeopardized others ' safety and thought of himself as above others . At the commencement of the moving-picture show , Poe attempted an unsanctioned mission that killed many of the Resistance fighter , and when General Leia Organa shout out him out on this behavior , he shrugged it off . He then pass away on to hold up a mutiny , which was out of character for Poe and forStar Wars . After these devastating choices , Poe too was relegated to the sidelines inStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker .
8Rose Tico
First Appeared:Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Rose Tico received perhaps the worst intervention in theStar Warssequels . She was introduced inThe Last Jedias a Resistance fighter who mislay her sister in Poe ’s avant-garde ( but goosey ) design and was preventing citizenry from desolate , as many had tried to do . She was also shown to be dedicated , intelligent , and incredibly brave . At the last of the movie , she even sacrificed her life to save Finn . Despite that , she was almost totally absent inThe ascent of Skywalker , which was rightfully criticized by viewers . Hopefully , Rey ’s upcomingStar Warsmoviewill improve Rose ’s story arc .
7Kanan Jarrus
First Appeared:Star Wars Rebels
Kanan Jarrus was a major fiber inStar Wars Rebels , although he also appeared shortly inStar warfare : The Bad Batch . Kanan ’s story was in reality manage beautifully by the enfranchisement , but his ending was tragical despite him more than gain a long , well-chosen life . To save his friends and his lover , Hera Syndulla , Kanan sacrificed his life , meaning he never capture to see the end of the Imperial Era , which he had fight so intemperately for , nor did he get to see that the Jedi begin to come back and that he and Hera have a boy , Jacen .
6Leia Organa
First Appeared:Star Wars(1977)
Leia Organa is no doubt one ofStar Wars’greatest characters , butshe also abide importantly throughout her story arc , all the way to the end . Leia was carry immediately before her female parent , Padmé Amidala , die , and although she then live quite blithely with her adoptive parents , Bail and Breha Organa , she lost them too when she was barely an grownup . In fact , Leia watched as her intact planet , with her parents on it , exploded at the hands of the Empire .
Things did not get easy for Leia from there . Although the original trilogy ’s trio successfully defeated the Empire and a new era began , Leia ’s Logos , Ben Solo , eventually turned to the dark side and became the Sith prentice Kylo Ren , which also created a monumental rift between Leia and Han Solo and sent Luke into transportation . While she had abbreviated reunions with Han and Luke , they both died at the end ofThe Force AwakensandThe Last Jedi , respectively , and Leia herself break down without having ever seen her boy again .
5Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s story is one of virtually unrelenting suffering . He was present inA New Hopeas the old man who help Luke Skywalker come across the Force , but chronologically , his tale began inStar state of war : Episode I - The Phantom Menace . In the movie , his master and unaired protagonist Qui - Gon Jinn was cut down in front of him . He then trained Anakin Skywalker as his own Padawan , who finally turned on him and wiped out the Jedi , accounting for almost everyone Obi - Wan knew . Even before that , the adult female Obi - Wan loved , Satine Kryze , was also pop in front of him .
While this would be barbarous enough , Obi - Wan then die into exile on Tatooine , watch over Luke during the Imperial Era , but it ’s very clean that Owen Lars , Luke ’s uncle who adopted him at the end ofStar war : Episode III -Revenge of the Sith , did not want Obi - Wan anywhere near Luke . He also discovered during that fourth dimension that Anakin was n’t beat as he had thought , but had instead become one of the greatest evils in the coltsfoot , Darth Vader , who later pour down him . Obi - Wan , as a great Jedi and genuinely good soul , genuinely deserved more .
4Anakin Skywalker
While Anakin was definitely the villain and the intellect for the suffering of many people included on this list , he also deserved intimately . Anakin was in many ways the product of his conditions , much of which was outside his control . When he was introduced not as Darth Vader but as Anakin Skywalker inThe Phantom Menace , he was a untested , staring - hearted boy who was strong with the Force . This unfortunately led to him go away his female parent behind on Tatooine to become a Jedi , setting in motion ten thousand unfortunateStar Warsproblems .
When he arrive on Coruscant , Anakin was treated like a dangerous foreigner by the Jedi despite being 9 years old . This perception persisted , only worsening as Anakin spiraled further out of control throughout the prequel trilogy , first as a result of losing his mother , but then because he was plagued by nightmares that the love of his life , Padmé , was going to buy the farm too . All of this made him completely susceptible to Palpatine ’s corruption , resulting , ultimately , in his number to the sour side and transformation into Darth Vader — a transformation that cause him to lose everything .
Anakin Skywalker ’s free fall to the dark side of the Force is a polar event in Star Wars , and 15 cardinal moments defined how that turn happen over time .
3Ahsoka Tano
First Appeared:Star Wars:The Clone Wars(Movie)
Ahsoka Tano was introduce as Anakin Skywalker ’s unexampled Padawan in theStar Wars : The Clone Warsmovie , which was an threatening starting time given that Anakin ’s go was predetermined . Somehow , her level became even more tragic than what her beginning paint a picture . Despite giving her all to the Jedi , even transition from a youngling focused on keeping the peace and instruct the Force to a Padawan on the frontlines of war , Ahsoka was abandoned by the Jedi Order when she want them .
After being incorrectly accused of murder , Ahsoka was kicked out of the Jedi Order and run on trial , about being put to destruction for something she did n’t do . When Anakin cleared her name , the damage was already done , andAhsoka left the Jedi Order . Even sad , when she finally considered coming back , Palpatine executed gild 66 , decimating nearly everyone Ahsoka have it away . She simultaneously also lose Anakin and Padmé , arguably the two hoi polloi with whom she was closest . Ahsoka then record deportee as well , only to realize that her beloved master had become Darth Vader .
Hopefully , Ahsoka ’s tale will improve with the upcomingAhsokaseason 2 , following the reveal that she has now become a on-key Jedi and , although trammel on Peridea , even has her former victor along with her as a Force ghost . Even so , Ahsoka was just a child when the Clone Wars began , and she ache consistent , ugly loss , as manyStar Warscharacters have . Particularly give her commitment to her friends and commitment to doing what ’s right in spite of severeness , Ahsoka really did merit better .
2Ben Solo
While he also had a discharge as a baddie , Ben Solo deserved so much better than how his report ended . Ben Solo , like his grandad Anakin Skywalker , was manipulate into join the dark side because he was in so much pain . Ben felt abandoned by his parent , Leia and Han , when they get off him to train with his Uncle Luke , and , also like Anakin , he suffered dreadful incubus . When Luke got an glimmering that Ben might be head down a colored path , he even considered kill his nephew , which solidify Ben ’s changeover into Kylo Ren .
The bad part of Ben ’s story arc , though , was his ending . Despite the events that brought him to the benighted side , by the end ofThe Rise of Skywalker , Ben Solo had turned back to the lighting . He even sacrificed his life-time to raise Rey . Even with that incredible sacrifice and the difficulty of returning to the illumination , though , Ben Solo conk at the end ofTheRise of Skywalkerwithout a singleForce ghostby his side , and his end was not mentioned again . However , this too may be addressed in Rey ’s upcomingStar Warsmovie .
1Padmé Amidala
First Appeared:Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Padmé Amidala is the grapheme most worth of a better end . Padmé is one ofStar Wars’most honourable characters and always chose what was right-hand , even to her own detriment . She fight down Naboo valiantly as queen at just 14 geezerhood previous and then fit on to serve in the Republic Senate , represent not just Naboo but other planets in need as well . When Anakin turn to the dark side , shattering her living , she told him she could not follow his path;she chose what she have intercourse to be virtuously right even above the mortal she loved .
Tragically , Padmé ’s extremely unseasoned living was cut much too short right after she gave birth to Luke and Leia . Not only did she never get to see her minor uprise , but she also had one of the worstStar Warsdeaths , go bad apparently of a broken bosom after using her last breaths to say that Anakin , who had just choked her , was still good . Worse still , it does n’t seem like Luke and Leia ever find out how unbelievable their mother was . These cataclysm truly make Padmé the potent instance ofStar Wars’many type who deserved better .
