Line 83:
** And Han's ensuing [[Heroic BSOD]].
* {{spoiler|Anakin Solo's death}} in ''New Jedi Order: Star by Star''. {{spoiler|Leia's [[Heroic BSOD|shutting down emotionally]] and Han's anger}} especially pulled at this troper's heartstrings.
* Another [[Star Wars]] example: [[X Wing Series|X-wing: Iron Fist]]. The death of {{spoiler|Ton Phanan}}. [[Aaron Allston]] is really good both at funny and tears. The author said on [https://web.archive.org/web/20160414202210/http://www.aaronallston.com/faq.html his site]: "Although he feared death, although he struggled against it, {{spoiler|Ton Phanan}}, deep down, didn't want to live." Also, a little earlier, when he is confessing to Face that he feels like his [[Emergency Transformation]] [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|ate his future]], and he's getting farther and farther from who he once was.
** Come on! That's all you could find from Star Wars? To writ: Corran dies in ''Wedge's Gamble'' (he gets better); in ''The Krytos Trap'' it's Mirax (who also gets better) and {{spoiler|Diric}} (who doesn't) that tear people up. Also, Tycho's Return monologue at the ruins of Alderaan.
{{quote|"I am Tycho Celchu, son of Alderaan, now orphan of the galaxy. I have come to this place of my birth to pay homage to who I was and those I knew. And those I loved and love still. It is my wish that when life abandons me, I am returned here to be among you, so that for eternity we may be together as we should have been in life. These gifts are but insufficient tokens of the love for you all that still burns within me. This fighter is another. It bears the colors of the Alderaanian Guard and transmits their code. It is my pledge to you, not of vengeance, but of vigilance. I hope you rest well knowing you will rest alone, because it is my life's work to see to it that no one else suffers as you have. I won't rest until this quest is complete. Rest easy. I miss you all."}}
