Thank you all for your quick answers. It's been a thought I've had for many years. I was mostly reminded of this puzzle when I saw the intro trailer for TOR where at the end, one of the Sith slays another. I understand that he failed, but he still made a great attempt to fight that one Jedi. Personally, I would've seen to it that he had his wounds healed and sent back into battle. But, he was killed. And I was just...disappointed to say the least. Yeah, he failed, but people learn from mistakes. They can't learn if they die.
