10 Star Wars Scenes Everyone Wishes They Could Unsee

There's nothing wrong with pumping a little love into this galaxy far, far away in the slightest. Just look at the whirlwind romance experienced by the unlikely lovers that were Han Solo and Leia Organa.

However, what separates this OG romantic story from some of the other less celebrated instances of Star Wars lovin' is the fact that Solo and Organa's relationship felt organic, charming and logical based on the circumstances offered up.

The same most definitely could not be said for the jarring development of passion that concluded Ben Solo's big screen journey in The Rise of Skywalker.

After spending much of the Sequel Trilogy at odds with one another and rarely even offering up an ounce of sexual tension, Rey and a soon-to-be dead Ben share a quick smooch on the back of the latter reviving the former post-Palpatine pulverising.

With just about everyone recoiling at this odd smooch from the get-go, it came as little surprise to see Disney attempt to backtrack on the kiss in the film's official novelisation, classing it more as a "kiss of gratitude". But that still couldn't erase the fact that this locking of lips was about as bizarre as it was unearned.
