Why is it that all the best bad guys (Except Vader and Sidious) go out like bit characters??? Maybe its some Lucas/Star Wars ideal that no matter how long you can keep it up, you have to eventually pay for your deeds in the end.
Boba Fett - Down the Sarlaacs gut before he even got warmed up. He barely had any screen time before Lucas took him out. I think he is singlehandedly reponsible for really getting the EU going. Everyone wanted more Fett back in the 80's!
Grand Admiral Thrawn - Admittedly, he had a really good run and did a lot of evil stuff, so at least readers got their fill. Thats even more of a reason why he deserved a better death than a backstabbing by some furry little dude, no matter how deadly Rukh was supposed to be.
Darth Maul - His one fight was a really really really good fight, probably the best in the series, but again, he goes out like a beeyatch. I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt cheated. I thought Maul would be around at least partway through Ep 2.
So, are the Star Wars mythos trying to convey a message about evil to us? Or does Lucas just make really bad decisions regarding which characters the public is going to embrace?
