10 Adorable 'Star Wars' Couples Who Should Have Been

Every Star Wars movie is packed with action and adventure, but there are some serious missed opportunities in the romance department. Here are 10 adorable couples who deserve true love in a galaxy far, far away!

Padme Amidala and Obi Wan Kenobi

Padme shouldn’t have been interested in Anakin when they first met. I’m all for an age difference, but not when one of the people involved hasn’t even gone through puberty yet. Sure, Obi Wan was bound by the Jedi Code, but surely he could have broken his vow to be with Padme. After all, he was only a padawan at that point.

Princess Leia and Chewbacca

Leia and Chewie always seemed to have an unspoken connection with one another. Perhaps they share more in common than you might think. They both come from tragic pasts and arewilling to fight for their own code of ethics, even when others disagree with them.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Shmi Skywalker

With all the other unusual stuff that happened in Episode I, this romance would have fit right in. There seemed to be a connection forming as the two shared emotional stories of loss. That’s how it begins. I like to think that if Qui-Gon hadn’t met his untimely demise, he would have gone back to Tatooine with flowers.

Finn and Rey

The seeds of flirtation were planted from the moment Finn and Rey set eyes on one another. Plus, he risked everything to ensure her safety. I was getting some pretty heavy couple vibes every time the two shared the screen. With the new movie coming out next year, I think that romance might be awakening.

R2-D2 and C-3PO

I know these droids are always bickering with one another, but classic sitcoms have taught me that it is a completely normal thing for couples to do. They complete each other, playing off one another’s strengths in order to save the day. That platonic chemistry could easily be taken further. You’ve seen how upset they are when they’re apart.

Darth Vader and Boba Fett

Can you imagine a relationship with two strong, silent types? Neither Darth Vader nor Boba Fett have much to say, but when they do speak, it's delightfully quotable. They dress alike, have similar goals of eliminating the galaxy's heroes, and even seem to enjoy some of the same hobbies, such as freezing people in carbonite. It might be a match made in Cloud City.

Finn and Poe Dameron

After narrowly escaping death together, Poe and Finn formed a close bond. Plus, we all saw the look they shared when Poe puts his hand on Finn’s shoulder. Sparks were flying. Plus, technically they share clothes, which guys don’t really do unless there is romance involved.

Mace Windu and Yoda

These two powerful Jedi masters would have so much to talk about. They were already serving on the council together, and even when they didn’t see eye to eye, they always had a deep respect for one another. Sure, there’s the height difference, but Yoda had that levitating seat that would allow them to hold hands on romantic walks.

Luke Skywalker and Han Solo

Luke, the naive teenager, meets Han, the gruff, older man. It seems like the intergalactic male version of Carol. Luke was pretty effeminate in the first movie, and Han’s sarcasm could easily be construed as flirting. In an alternate timeline, they opened a bakery together on Coruscant.

Han Solo and Chewbacca

We have yet to get a detailed look into Han and Chewie’s backstory, but we know that they are always together, even as other characters come and go. It seems like all that alone time on the Millennium Falcon could have been used to establish a deep romantic connection.
