“I love you.” – Leia Organa

“I know.” – Han Solo

• Title: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back™
• Couple: Leia Organa & Han Solo

The exchange between Han Solo and Leia Organa on Bespin is the most unforgettable romantic Star Wars quote. Sealed with a kiss, it was the satisfying culmination of their tension and banter. It was entirely in character, too. From Leia’s earnest confession to Han’s cheeky reply, these words have gone down in history across pop culture as a way to express your feelings. You love that? We know.

“From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you.” – Anakin Skywalker

• Title: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones™
• Couple: Padmé Amidala & Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker always felt things deeply. He put all of his heart into what he believed. So when he fell in love with Padmé Amidala at first sight, he never stopped loving her. He even disobeyed the sacred Jedi rules to confess his feelings for her. Of course, some people called Anakin’s feelings obsessive or too intense. But they were just jealous that Anakin found his star-crossed soulmate in a single lifetime.

“People keep telling me they know me. No one does.” – Rey

“But I do.” – Kylo Ren

• Title: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker™
• Couple: Rey & Kylo Ren

Rey lived a solitary life on Jakku. She felt comfortable in her own thoughts and feelings. She had a thick skin. While it made her strong, it also made her unlikely to be vulnerable around anyone.  Though her friends Finn and Poe Dameron liked her, they didn’t really understand her. In turn, Rey felt misunderstood. As the other half of the Dyad in the Force, however, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo knew her intrinsically as part of his own soul.

“I know what to say now. I love you.” – Hera Syndulla

• Title: Star Wars: Rebels™
• Couple: Hera Syndulla & Kanan Jarrus

Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus were the “parents” of the Ghost Crew in Rebels. Despite them taking on these roles, they were never romantically involved until later seasons. We could always see the love they had for each other, but it was never the right time, or the priority for either of them. When they finally had a chance to put their feelings first, they confessed to each other and the rest is rebel history.

“There is good in him. I know there is.” – Padmé Amidala

• Title: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith™
• Couple: Padmé Amidala & Anakin Skywalker

What is more romantic than enduring faith in the one you love? Anakin’s wife believed in his goodness until the end — despite Anakin giving Padmé every reason to hate him. On her deathbed, she encouraged everyone else to see the light that Darth Vader still possibly possessed. After he attacked and betrayed her, Padmé really had no reason to still love him. But love him she did, which in turn caused her to die of a broken heart.

“Remember, my dear Obi-Wan. I loved you … always.” – Duchess Satine Kryze

• Title: Star Wars: The Clone Wars™
• Couple: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Duchess Satine Kryze

Obi-Wan Kenobi believed in the Jedi Code. He never strayed from it, repressing and controlling his filial affection for both Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin Skywalker. When he encountered Duchess Satine Kryze, he nearly (but not quite) faltered due to the Mandalorian ruler’s flirtations and charming personality. Obi-Wan never got to see if he’d truly succumb to his hidden passion, however. Satine died and confessed her true feelings in the same final breath.

“By the way, it’s Zeb. My name, it’s Zeb.” – Garazeb Orrelios

“Short for Garazeb. I know.” – Alexsandr Kallus

• Title: Star Wars: Rebels
• Couple: Garazeb Orrelios & Alexsander Kallus

Whether Alexsandr Kallus and Garazeb Orrelios have a canon romantic relationship is up for debate. Some voice actors have confirmed it, while different directors have dodged the question. However, we can’t miss the parallel between this quote and Han and Leia’s famous “I know.” After being stranded together on a desolate, snow-covered moon, Kallus and Zeb learned to work together to survive. By the end, Kallus questioned his loyalty to the Empire … and found companionship with Zeb that eventually led to them finding a new home together in the Rebels finale.
