I find it interesting how I despise the fact that Chewbacca got killed off, but it also bothers me that every situation any main character gets in I know they will come out alive and unharmed. Takes a bit of the suspense out of it Then on the other hand I really enjoy Game of Thrones. Could you imagine if Star Wars went all Game of Thrones on us? The closest we had to one of those moments was Jango's demise.

Side note, was watching a show on netflix with my daughter the other day. Something happened to the main character and we said "Oh my gosh, is he going to be ok???" and I replied "Of course he will be, there are still 12 episodes in the series."

Exactly, despite hating Chewie's death, I like it because in any other Star Wars literature, it's like a main char is placed in a dangerous situation. But they are the main char so none of the good guys dies!
