Greatest Last stands in SW

When the odds are against a fighter or character, and death is all that remains for them in the moment- who stands out? What are some of the best final moments for a fighter, when they protect or give their life in a blaze of glory? What motivated them to stay behind and fight against overwhelming odds, and how did you feel about their sacrifice?

Hoth and the other 100 Jedi who sacrificed themselves on Ruusan.

Vader/Anakin sacrificing himself to save Luke from Sidious.

Chewbacca sacrificing himself to save Anakin Solo from the moon that was about to collide with the planet they were on.

Those three come to mind. There's more though.

Vos during Order 66.

Ganner Rhysode.

Every other answer is wrong.

Revan and Chewbacca.

Was about to say the same.

Vader/Anakin on the Death Star II is probably the most famous example.

IMO. Cin Drallig and Serra Keto's last stand in the ROTS Game was pretty epic.

Yaddle also comes to mind.

A sacrifice and a last stand aren't really the same thing imo, though a sacrifice can lead to a last stand.

A last stand is fighting asymmetrically in a situation where defeat seems inevitable. Vader's sacrifice doesn't really qualify- he did succeed in bench-pressing Palpatine off the balcony, after-all.

Though to be honest, Ima Gun-Die from TCW was kinda emotional.

Pretty sure this thread was made with Kol Skywalker in mind, too.

Ah yes. His, Heavy's, and Thorn's was also great. It was really sad to see them go.

The last stand of only a handful of Royal Guardsmen, which also included a coin toss and no **** was given on the outcome, badass warrior death.

This is correct.

Anakin Solo's last stand was nice too, but not as epic as Ganner's.
