The first time we begin to grasp an understanding of how much Hera cares for Kanan is during the final episodes of the first season. We know they love each other, clearly, but how far that love extends isn’t exactly clear. Hera Syndulla calls Kanan “love” at times and they have this bond that immediately feels like they’re playing the role of mother and father of the crew but the actual details of their relationship with one another is kept very reserved from the audience. When we meet them in the first season of Star Wars: Rebels their romantic status is very…murky. With Hera being very beautiful and Kanan being the young roguish type like Han Solo, there was definitely some flirting involved but their companionship went beyond the romantic aspect, as they found a common enemy in The Empire and an urge to do the right thing by fighting back.Īfter the events of the novel, Kanan would join Hera’s crew and together they would start the seeds of rebellion aboard their vessel, The Ghost.
In the novel, Kanan Jarrus comes into contact with Hera Syndulla, a young rebel whose goal is to liberate the planet, Gorse from a sinister Imperial officer, Count Denetrius Vidian. My first contact with Kanan and Hera and their beautiful relationship began with the novel, A New Dawn. And now, thanks to Star Wars: Rebels, I have been introduced to a new love story that I previously had little knowledge about and have now been emotionally touched by thanks to a rapid binge-watching session of the series.Īnd of course, that love story belongs to Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Rebellion leader Hera Syndulla. However, love has not escaped the other projects in the Star Wars universe, whether we’re talking about Han and Qi’ra’s passionate romance in Solo: A Star Wars Story or Cassian and Jyn’s subtle but just as blatant romance in Rogue One. Star Wars is practically one gigantic love story that’s transcended the generations.įirst, it was Han and Leia, then it was Anakin and Padme, and now it’s…well now it seems that a love bomb has stricken the Sequel Trilogy, resulting in a bunch of different love-story shipping categories that hopefully will reach a conclusion in The Rise of Skywalker.
Love stories can help intensify the emotional stakes of a film and, subsequently, leave you in a puddle of your own tears if anything sad (or happy) happens.
