With love in the line , it ’s metre to unveil the8 Couples That HurtStar Wars(And 12 That Saved It ) .

Hurt: Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala

Anakin and   Padmé ’s relationship was supposed to be the epic love affair at the core of the prequel trilogy . They had voltage as a tale of forbidden honey and to become one of the best couples inStar Wars , but many elements got in the elbow room of that .

Despite being an incredible political loss leader and Jedi Knight ,   Padmé and Anakin threw away all common sense and responsibility to plunge into their family relationship .   Their already immature actions were   made bad with cringe - worthy dialogue .

How can we forget the sand conversation– it was the most cringe - desirable part of Episode II .

Their relationship also hurt   Padmé as a character . InThe Phantom Menace , she was a trigger-happy loss leader of her people , fighting on the front lines , and aim the direction into the Theed Royal Palace to take back Naboo from the Trade Federation .

In the follow prequel movies– especiallyRevenge of the Sith– she became more define by her passion for Anakin , than her persistency as a loss leader .

Saved: Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus

TheGhostcrew ofStar Wars Rebelswas a menage , and Hera and Kanan were essentially the parent that channelize the menage and kept them together . Their Romance language was an incredibly slow burn through seasons 1 - 3 .

They were more focused on result their fellowship and the Rebellion , consistently placing obligation before desire .

This made it all the more satisfying when they finally accommodate their true feelings for one another in time of year 4 . Hera and Kanan had done an splendid job of " raising their children . "

Star Wars Leia Han Solo

With Ezra and Sabine able-bodied to take more of a leaders role , Hera and Kanan were able to let desire take hold , reminding themselves that it was for this kind of love that they ’d fight and sacrificed so much in the first place .

Hera and Kanan ’s human relationship and its eventual bribe that prove both beautiful and heartbreaking helped solidify season 4 as the full in all ofStar Wars Rebels .

Saved: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze

Some fans experience Obi - Wan was too soft with Anakin considering his apprentice ’s feelings for   Padmé . The Clone Warsoffered further insight into this as it revealed that Obi - Wan grappled with his own romantic fond regard   to   Satine Kryze , the pacificist Duchess and drawing card of Mandalore .

Unlike Anakin and   Padmé ,   Obi - Wan and Satine consistently placed responsibility before desire . They still trusted and cared for each other deeply , signify they found way of life to work together , that wild-eyed spark constantly flutter between them in cute and emotional ways .

While they were stubborn with one another , they still had a common understanding of what could be drop off if they got together .

Obi - Wan is often thought as being one of the best Jedi . His relationship with Satine further exposes the flaws of the Jedi Order , as it shows even Obi - Wan could n’t aid but forge a romantic fond regard .

As problematic as he knew Anakin ’s feelings for   Padmé were , a part of him must ’ve admired them for taking the step to live on the kind of lifespan he and Satine were never able to have .

Hurt: Finn and Rose Tico

Finn and Rose Tico are wonderful characters that have enhanced the subsequence trilogy . They formed a beautiful moral force and experienced significant character development during their time together inThe Last Jedi .

The trouble is that their family relationship felt up more like that of close booster than one of romance . They bond , work well together , and make out to profoundly honour one another .

Their alchemy did not pinch of love story , until Rose kissed Finn on Crait . The moment lacked buildup and find forced rather than bring in .

No osculation or romance between them would n’t have really changed the plot ofThe Last Jedieither . Rose still could ’ve rammed her speeder into Finn ’s to save him from a gratuitous forfeiture , because she deeply loves and cares for him as a friend .

She is a strong , authorize char .   Her story does n’t need a romance with Finn . The whole state of affairs also seems to hint at the possibleness of a   Rey - Finn - Rose love triangle , which is not somethingEpisode IXneeds at all .

Saved: Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade

Of all the characters fromStar WarsLegends , there is perhaps none more beloved by fans than Mara Jade . She   was present as an Emperor ’s Hand – a Force - sensitive operative trained by and loyal to Emperor Palpatine– tell to end Luke Skywalker .

It would be interesting if Mara Jade made an coming into court in Episode 9 .

Her relationship with Luke is a will to the powerfulness of pardon and how the best love story can spark in the most improbable ways .

Their personality , beliefs , and strength with the Force ended up complimenting each other in   beautiful way . Now lover will have to see if the rumors are true about Mara Jadereturning to canon inEpisode IX .

Saved: Han Solo and Leia Organa

Han and Leia are the original and most iconicStar Warsromance . Their relationship was important to the original trilogy ’s magic spell and beautiful character development .

In both canon and Legends , for better and for bad , their love was integral to shaping the wandflower in the aftermath ofReturn of the Jedi .

Even when Leia was immersed in the   region of politics and Han was busy with the world of racing , they still show up to support and save one another when they needed it most in the canyon novelBloodline .

Even when their boy goes to the dark side and becomes Kylo Ren , they find a fashion to reunite and work to save the galaxy as inThe Force Awakens .

Hurt: Jar Jar Binks and Queen Julia

The Clone Warstelevision serial publication ameliorate on many of the prequel trilogy ’s weaker component . EvenThe Clone Warscouldn’t improve on Jar Jar Binks , though . Queen Julia of the planet Bardotta enlisted Jar Jar ’s help when her fellow members of the Dagoyan Order– a mathematical group of effect - tender individuals on Bardotta– are snatch .

She and Jar Jar share a certain stage of intimacy that is just as ill-chosen and uncomfortable to look out as one would imagine .

Even the most vexatious character in Star Wars deserve love .

Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade

The episode where their kinship happen are actually pretty interesting . They feature Darth Maul ’s mother charter in a nefarious patch to strengthen her connection to the Force and Mace Windu combating her efforts , all of which culminates in an epic face-off between the two characters .

Unfortunately , these effect are largely eclipsed by the wholly unnecessary romance of Jar Jar and Queen Julia .

Saved: Lando Calrissian and L3-37

Solo : A Star Wars Storydid a bang-up job at showing that despite the scoundrels they try so heavily to be , Han Solo and Lando Calrissian always cared more than they liked to let on .

Through her family relationship with Lando , L3 was capable to channel her passion for droids right during their mission to Kessel , where she led the droids to rise up against the Pyke Syndicate .

The Lando - L3 relationship is also positive in that it transcends the average of human - droid dynamics . Love is love after all , even in a galaxy far , far off .

Saved: Thane Kyrell and Cienna Ree

Claudia Gray ’s canyon novelLost Starsbrings the conception of star topology - cross lovers toStar Warslike never before . Thane Kyrell and Cienna Ree grew up together and both went on to attend the Empire .

Jar Jar Binks and Queen Julia

The novel humanise the individuals within the Empire like fewStar Warsstories ever have . In beautiful fashion , Gray weaves a story of how love can transcend coltsfoot - all-encompassing conflict and war .

It is also wonderful in that both Thane and Cienna choose the side they consider in , while still be intimate one another .

Hurt: Jacen Solo and Tahiri Veila

Jacen Solo is the Legends equivalent of Kylo Ren . Both are the fry of Han and Leia , and both settle to the black side . During Jacen ’s time as Darth Caedus , he seduced the Force - sensitive Tahiri Veila to the dark side of the Force .

Tahiri was antecedently in a kinship with Jacen ’s brother Anakin Solo , but Anakin at long last sacrificed himself to save Tahiri and vote out the Yuuzhan Vong .

basically manipulating Tahiri ’s grief over the loss of Anakin , Jacen seduced Tahiri to the dark-skinned side and made her his apprentice .

Donald Glover is Lando Calrissian and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is L3-37 in SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY.

Jacen and Tahiri are not explicitly write as a couple , but it is intemperately incriminate in a very uncomfortable mode , especially considering their preceding relationships with Anakin Solo .
