Yeah, that would be the end of all fun. Also consider how sad it would be to kill Holmes himself! Back in my childhood days, I was very sad to learn that Holmes was dead in
The Final Problem (in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes). Phew! Tada! He makes a brilliant comeback in The Empty House(the name of the story was something like that, I'm not so sure). This return story starred a villain who shot
revolver bullets with a huge airgun!
Anyway, I dont consider the last 3 Starwar films as bad as you think. In their making Lucas had to think up the childhood and youth of Anakin Skywalker! Thats a really amazing feat. But I must admit that the movies portrayed the emotions poorly. The compiled stories I read from starwars-wiki are much better written.
The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster is also superb. George Lucas wrote something. Then the Fanbase wrote back. And in the process something fantastic was created. The present starwars volume is written not by Lucas but numerous authors. It rather looks like an epic! And I love the complexity. My most favs are
Mace Windu, Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi (in his youth) and Darth Maul (he is blistering!).
