(Note: This post contains some pretty major spoilers for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”)
Lucasfilm’s new “Star Wars” movies haven’t shied away from major character deaths. The passing of the torch to a new cast has created moments in which the old crew gave up some of the mantel in “The Force Awakens.” And although Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) factors highly in “The Last Jedi,” the movie definitely belongs to its new crop of heroes.
During one key moment in “The Last Jedi,” though, there’s a loss of a fan favorite character that’s easy to miss. It happens near the beginning of the film during the attack between the Resistance and the First Order, when Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) joins the battle and wreaks havoc on the opposing forces.
