They shouldn't be bummed by the lead dying but inspired by her selflessness. I think Disney did a good job of making these people out to be real heroes, even the Rebel Troopers dying at the end. He knew he was dead when the door jammed but he still got the plans through the crack because he knew it was above him. That is the feel good message of this movie and I found it inspiring.

Yah, but it's sometimes hard for kids to get that type of message. To them, their favorite character died, and it sucks. I remember bawling my eyes out when Optimus Prime died, and he's just a mechanical robot lol.
