It might be convenient but at the same time it is natural, crude and very unique. Couldn't be better.
The great Emperor being thrown down the shaft of unfinished death star at the ass-end of galaxy. No usual "epic final battle in the centre of everything" bullshit.
Even the death of Boba Fett is great. It reminds me of Old West gunfighter legend Wild Bill being shot in the back by a drunk while plying cards. Crude, ironic and natural.
