No one can kill a Jedi. Or?..

In the process of finalizing the game mechanics, I had one question, the answer to which only you, friends, can give me, since it depends on how interesting it will be for you to play :)
I am currently working on a save system. It is clear that without it, no modern game simply can not do. But the question is different - what will happen to the game as a result of the death of the main character?
I have two answers at the moment: the first is the classic loading of the last checkpoint or any of your saves. And the second is the full start of the game from scratch, as in games in the roguelike style.
Of course, you don’t really want to, having achieved considerable progress, start the game from the beginning. However, if you do not pretend to be a kamikaze, it is possible that for the whole game you will not even find yourself in a life-threatening situation. Well, again, Kara is a Jedi, and a Jedi is not so easy to kill. And therefore, the scenario with a full restart of the game after the death of the player also seems to me quite appropriate.
But, it's up to you to decide :) I will be glad to hear the opinions in the comments :)

It will be non-canonical :)
None Else
Make it like SOE in SWG. Place a cloningfacility in each important City :) For deads caused by accident
Lucky
In skyrim (as mentioned before) a random event would trigger where bandits could spawn, you‘d be enslaved (and would have to finish a quest to break free) or other stuff .... maybe not a bad idea depending on the possibilities in the game

Well, what if you don't die in battle, but fall off a cliff or fall under a speeder? :)

One or two start from the beginnings and I would delete the game to never look back. Checkpoints allow players to know progress has been made instead of losing anything from a restart.

I voted for reload from save/check point, but I actually have a 3rd preference. If you've ever played adult modded Skyrim, there's a great mod called Defeat (and a few others like it) where if your character dies they're really just knocked down and then the attackers take advantage of them and leave them butt naked in the ditch. It's a lot more interesting than reloading ;)
