That one has my vote. Especially considering Tex's reaction to the event. |

Call it corny, but I still find Kirk's "Bridge on the Captain!" death scene in ST: Generations a riot

My favorite cinamatic death...Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's death at the hands of the Bolivian Army.
Talk about overkill...!

guess boba fett will not be making this list

heh, why not? Being jet-packed into the mouth of a giant sand... thing is a fairly cool way to go.
Like PvK says, it doesn't necessarily have to be noble, brave or heroic. Comic or fitting will do nicely- it just has to be an exit to remember.
How about the end of Dark Star? Or Silent Running? |

Boba Fett didn't die, he eventually made his way back out (it's described in a later novel, iirc)...more like a cool "near-death"

Would the death of the Enterprise in Star Trek III Count?

You need to read the books to understand that death. Once you do it becomes very clear as why he died.
