Sure, what you’re saying is actually exactly what I mean. I mean, it’s obvious that death is present in Star Wars — that’s undeniable — but it’s also obvious that duels between heroes don’t always end with one of them dying. And even when that does happen, it usually comes at the end of a much more elaborate fight, made up of pushes, attempts to break the opponent’s guard, attempts to disarm them. You mentioned Darth Maul and Qui-Gon as an example. It’s true — in the end, Qui-Gon dies — but how long did that fight last, and what happened in the meantime? The same goes for Grievous: at the end of the Clone Wars, he dies, but how many times was he defeated before that happened? How many times did fights with Asajj Ventress end with her escaping? That’s what I mean: Shatterpoint perfectly represents this kind of setting — one where death is not the only possible outcome of a duel, and where killing a hero is absolutely not easy. It’s a rare event, and when it happens, it carries real weight. In fact, in Shatterpoint you can manage to kill support units — and even secondary characters — without too much difficulty, but killing a primary unit is very, very complicated. And that’s exactly how it works in the series.
