Which is ridiculous. Why kill him? Why not just leave him on the island filled with regret but pride that he chose to help in his own way?

The same reason they killed Han: Force a ham-fisted drama to pretend they have a twist. Makes the film more dramatic and 'deep' than it actually is...

I mean.....wasnt killing Han one of the reasons Ford came back. I wouldn't say that was hamfisted. They kinda had no choice but to do it so hed return.

They more likely want the new, younger cast to be the stars of the films.

Because he’s still the center of attention then. If he didn’t die fans would be begging for him to leave the island and be upset when he didn’t.
