re: Do you ever "mourn" a character's death? (warning: spoilers obviously)

Chewbacca from the Star Wars EU. Not that they way he died was all that great. In fact I was kind of disappointed that his death wasn't more of a "Blaze of Glory" death. But he was a character I have known since my youth, and I was bothered more than I thought I would be when he died.

Of course Disney has wiped out the EU, so I guess it was all pointless.
