While Return of the Jedi would ultimately reveal them to be siblings, A New Hope implied Luke's attraction to Leia throughout, while the two kissed multiple times in The Empire Strikes Back, with further romantic moments ending up on the cutting room floor, as seen in the movie's deleted scenes.
Undoubtedly, his greatest love was with a character named Mara Jade. Mara is a strong character as a part of the expanded universe of the Star Wars Legends series of novels. Their love is so strong that Luke winds up marrying her, and she bears a son that they name Ben (not Ben Solo).
Over the course of the series, Luke recognizes in Mara an underdeveloped affinity for the Force; and although she initially resists Jedi training, she eventually becomes a Jedi Master. Luke and Mara develop a strong bond in Zahn's The Hand of Thrawn duology; he proposes marriage, and the two wed in Michael A.
Why This Luke & Leia Scene Was Cut From The Empire Strikes Back
Does Luke fall in love with Leia?
While Return of the Jedi would ultimately reveal them to be siblings, A New Hope implied Luke's attraction to Leia throughout, while the two kissed multiple times in The Empire Strikes Back, with further romantic moments ending up on the cutting room floor, as seen in the movie's deleted scenes.
The end result of Lucas, Kershner and Hirsch cutting it out effectively ended it. All that's left is a clearly one-on-one relationship. It was evident before ROTJ was written. Thus Leia kisses Luke in order to make Han jealous.
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Solo co-writer Jonathan Kasdan made it clear he viewed Lando as pansexual — and wanted his motives to be left up to sexy, sexy interpretation. (Kasdan's co-writer and father Lawrence Kasdan was more ambiguous in his response.)
It was during these quiet moments that Princess Leia fell in love with Han Solo. Darth Vader captured Han Solo on Cloud City, and forced Leia to watch as Solo was frozen in carbonite and handed over to the bounty hunter, Boba Fett.
She assures him the conversation was about Luke learning that she is his sister, but the jealousy alone is enough for Leia to know that her love for Han is reciprocated. After avoiding dropping the L-bomb, Han finally tells Leia that he loves her when she saves him from some Stormtroopers.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) revealed that Kylo Ren and Rey were two halves of a "dyad" in the Force, which Terrio alternatively described as "sort of soulmate[s] in the Force" and "twins of fate, twins of destiny". Their relationship was also described as a romance by both J.J.
When Rey went to meet him on the Supremacy in an attempt to convince him to turn to the light, Snoke reveals that he had manipulated their bond to lead Rey into a trap and starts to torture her in front of Ren. This infuriates Kylo, who at this point had developed strong feelings for Rey.
Similarly, her rebellious, rule-breaking and trouble-making nature resembled Anakin more than Padmé. However, both parents were adventurous and stubborn people. Thus far, her leadership skills are the one thing missing from Leia's portrayal in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
How old was Anakin when Luke and Leia were born? In canon, he was 22 (he was born in 41 BBY, and Luke and Leia were born in 19 BBY). In Legends, accounts vary saying he's either 22 or 23. Interestingly enough, he was around two years younger than Ben Solo was in the TLJ flashback were Luke reads his mind.
In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes, Leia did not admit she had romantic feelings for Han at first. However, after they were captured by the Empire, moments before Han became frozen in carbonite, Leia realized that she loved him and admitted her romantic feelings for him.
Rey is Han Solo's daughter. But she is not Leia Organa's daughter--and therefore is not a Skywalker. Leia and Han were estranged when she began training with Luke.
Leia wanted to lead and reshape the galaxy, but wielding the same power that had corrupted Vader would be too big of a temptation because she would have become a powerful Jedi. So, it was safer to choose happiness, marry Han and avoid becoming a Jedi.
Star Wars character Lando Calrissian is pansexual, and I couldn't be happier. Commentary: When it comes to representation in a galaxy far, far away, it's good to know Lando sees beyond gender to fall in love the way I do.
Although Star Wars movies and TV shows have yet to explore the story of Lando's daughter, Kadara, who was kidnapped, one Star Wars book revealed Lando's desperate search for her.
Beyond his online persona, Professor Lando's private life has also garnered attention. In June 2022, he publicly came out as bisexual, marking an important moment in his personal journey.
By the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke's crush on Leia had completely disappeared, as he only considers her a friend, he became annoying when Leia kissed him in a failed attempt to prove that she doesn't have any romantic feelings for Han.
Leia was initially unable to tell him, as she was still in shock to find out that Vader was her father and Han became jealous of Luke, but soon apologized and comforted her.
Of course, any romantic feelings between the pair disappeared completely in Return of the Jedi, which turned Luke and Leia from potential lovers to siblings in one fell swoop. It was a soft retcon that effectively erased any and all drama the love triangle between Luke, Leia, and Han might have presented.
