Movie Characters killed in the EU
Ever wonder what ultimately happened to your favorite characters? The Expanded Universe has revealed the fates of many characters whose deaths weren't shown onscreen.

Warning! Some of those listed below are spoilers from recently released sources.

Early-EU "near-deaths"
Some of the early intended deaths in the EU were later negated by appearances in later EU sources.

General Dodonna [Goodwin/Williamson comics]
Apparently killed while sacrificing himself to slow the Imperial counterattack on the Rebel base on Yavin 4, we learn later that Dodonna survived and was taken prisoner until the liberation of Coruscant.

Janson [Marvel comics]
Janson appeared to have died during the evacuation of Hoth after his and Wedge's escape craft is shot down. In the Rogue Squadron books and comics, he's alive and well. It has since been stated that the death on Hoth story is just a legend that is told to new Rogue Squadron recruits.

Hobbie and General Veers [ESB novelization]
In the novelization, Hobbie stops the assault of the lead Imperial walker by crashing his snowspeeder into AT-AT's head, killing Veers in the process. Hobbie later appears in the Rogue Squadron books and comics with reference often made to his ability to survive crashes. It was revealed that Veers survived only to die many years later on Balmorra.

Non-Continuity Deaths
Watto[Visionaries]
Watto appears in the Galaxies video game

"Resurrections"
Boba Fett [Marvel Comics, Bounty Hunter Wars #1: The Mandalorian Armor, et al]
Boba Fett climbs out of the Sarlacc in the Marvel comic only to be thrown back in again while inside the hull of a sandcrawler. His real escape is chronicled elsewhere in various other sources.

Palpatine (clone) [Dark Empire comics]
Palpatine's clone dies, his life force enters another clone body, that clone body is killed, and another clone emerges. When that final clone entity attempts to possess the body of the newly born Anakin Solo, it is intercepted by the dying Empatojayos Brand, thus snuffing out the Emperor's will once and for all.

Darth Maul (clone or Sith magic or something) [Tales #9]
A version of Darth Maul is back long enough to have a Maul vs. Vader showdown. Note that Visionaries also had a Maul with a cybernetic lower half that is killed by Owen and Obi-Wan on Tatooine. And in Tales #17, there's a guy preserving Maul's brain.

Bib Fortuna [Tales from Jabba's Palace][Rogue Squadron: Battleground: Tatooine]
His death is not seen in the film, so this technically might not be a resurrection. Bib goes back to Jabba's palace to take over crime operations but he is among those who are subdued in a sudden insurrection by the B'omarr monks. Bib's brain is placed in a jar but he later manages to transfer his brain into the body of Firith Olan.

Grievous [Galaxies video game]
Not a resurrection of the alien entity that makes up Grievous, but a reuse of the Grievous technology.
