A classic Star Wars character was killed off in Rise of Skywalker (and no-one noticed until now)
Tho♕ught you'd seen every Star Wars death? Think again.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker featured several big-name deaths – but one Original✱ Trilogy character sadly met his end off-screen. That’s according to the writer of the movie’s official novelisation, who conꦗfirmed the casualty on Twitter.
Spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker follow…
You might want to sit down for this. Nien Nunb, the smuggler-turned-pilot who helped the Resistance in Return of the Jedi, as well as appearing in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens and 𝕴in the Battle of Crait in The Last Jedi, perished during the final battle onꦚ Exegol.
The bug-eyed hotshot was part of the hundred-strong fleet of ships that arrived to save💧 the day on the hidden world of the Sith. But he was shot down in a blink-a⛦nd-you’ll-miss-it scene amid all the chaos in The Rise of Skywalker’s final act.
It was first pointed out by writer Bryan Young (H/T 🌜), and confirmed by novelist Rae Carson, who said, “I think it's pretty clear from t🍌he movie (upon careful watching), so I feel comfortable confirming. Props to you for noticing!”
RIP Nien
Ye💎ah, I think it's pretty clear from the movie (upon careful watching), so I feel comfortable confirming. Props to you for noticing!
Well, that sucks. But there are small mercies: we could potentially be getting a fuller, richer look at the dogfight to end all dogfights on Exegol, including (hopefully) a brief moment of reflection on one of the most unique-looking characters in the 🐲galaxy. The official Rise of Skywalker novelisation promises “expanded scenes and additional content not seen in theaters.”
Those calling for a Rise of Skywalker director’s cut – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:such as actor Dominic Monaghan – may want to s🎀nag a copy upon release on March 4.
