Living in the galaxy far, far away of Star Wars isn't without its dangers. Whether it's the Empire or the First Order, both totalitarian governments have been responsible for the disappearance of millions of people across this universe. One character in particular has caused more deaths than Palpatine and Darth Vader: find out who it is below!
Palpatine, a bloody villain (but someone else has done worse)
When we think of the greatest tyrants in the galaxy,we can't help but see the faces of Emperor Palpatine and his loyal second-in-command, Darth Vader. The two Sith ruled the galaxy between the events of Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi, before the First Order took the reins of power (also under Palpatine's secret influence). The cunning, evil Darth Sidious managed to manipulate the senators of the different worlds to be elected undisputed leader of their assembly, then, with the help of his clone army, destroy the Jedi Order. Then, with his lifelong obsession with the Death Star, he orchestrated the destruction of entire populations, and the wars he waged caused millions of deaths. Only one villain was more deadly, according to our colleagues at CBR, and that's...
...General Armitage Hux, destroyer of the Hosnian System
While it's difficult to estimate the number of millions of deaths directly and indirectly caused by Palpatine, General Armitage Hux has even more blood on his hands than the infamous Emperor from Star Wars. This character from the latest trilogy, released in theaters between 2015 and 2019, obeys Supreme Leader Snoke and is in command of Starkiller Base. He orchestrates the destruction of the New Republic by firing on five planets in the Hosnian System, including the New Republic capital, Hosnian Prime. Estimated death toll? More than 150 billion according to the most likely estimates - a mere trifle. This terrifying feat of arms makes him responsible for the biggest massacre in the saga...
Although the competition is close between the two men, General Hux wins the prize for the deadliest.
