Well, it seems like Delphi's gut feeling is that they won't be dying. I voted that No, they shouldn't die. In SW:Rebellion, your minor characters were permitted to die, but I don't think anybody ever lost Darth Vader, or Luke, or the Emperor through just random circumstances. Even if their ship was blown up, they were considered captured then (major characters). I think what might be the solution is that they'll just get injured, which will basically be like a time-out. Think Anakin losing all his limbs, Luke losing his hand, etc. If heroes will be permitted to die, I think it will have to be in a hero vs. hero event.
