For as long as the stars have been warring, they’ve also been loving. So why has the Disney era of Star Wars had noticeably fewer romances, including multiple frustrating missed opportunities in the sequel trilogy? To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re diving into the topic of romance in Star Wars. We explore the challenges of writing romantic relationships, the factors that might be discouraging Disney from emphasizing love stories, and how Star Wars has succeeded and failed at romance, from Hera and Kanan’s heartwarming bond to Anakin and Padme’s toxic codependency to Rose and Finn’s weird surprise kiss. Plus, in a conversation that reveals a lot about ourselves, we each pick the Star Wars character we’d most like to marry.
