The biggest killers in the Star Wars universe would have to be the Death Star and Star Killer. Next up is aerial combat and death-by-blaster. But lightsabers aren’t too far behind. When you consider that only a handful of characters wield these weapons, their total death count is quite astonishing.
In chronological order, here are all the characters who got hacked, slashed, dismembered, shish-kabobbed and decapitated by laser sword. This extensive list doesn’t even include the non-fatal injuries or anything from the animated series and extended universe. (Special shout-out to Wookieepedia for all the character names/spellings!)
