In light of Valentine’s Day, Becca & Devon have decided to have a heart-to-heart chat on the romantic aspects of Star Wars. Star Wars: star-crossed lovers that span across the stars of the galaxy far, far away.
Starting with the bantering romance between the smug scoundrel and the prim princess of the original trilogy (I love you, I know), to the doomed-from-the-start love affair between the bad boy Jedi and the “absolute-angel” from the prequels. And, well, everything in between…After all, “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” — Alfred Lord Tennyson
