Deaths are only important if they truly serve the story, and enhance the characters involved. In most cases, however, so-called 'poignant' deaths in literature/film/other media tend to be plot devices, and are usually there to give the ladies a good tearjerker moment before heading back to the action. The examples you gave, Mystic, are pronounced exceptions to the rule.

IIRC, Samuel L. Jackson had "Will not go out like a punk" written into his contract when working on Star Wars.  :P

To be fair, he always* has that as a clause in his contract.




*Yes, I've seen Deep Blue Sea. Do you really think he went out as a punk there? No, the sharks targeted him and ambushed him at just the right time because they knew he could kill them with a throat punch.

He also had "I will have a unique color for my lightsaber so my family will always be able to spot me in the battle scenes". True story  ;D
