is one of the most popular and successful movie franchises ever made. Since 1977, we've been traveling to that galaxy far, far away, and its universe has expanded significantly over the years with the release of new TV shows and movies. Star Wars has a little something for everyone, from action to comedy to drama. It even has its share of romance.

Star Wars has produced some iconic couples over the years, most notably Han Solo and Leia Organa and Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. But the franchise has also produced some not-so-great couples. These romances failed to capture our hearts and sweep us off our feet.

Here are 8 Star Wars romances that no one remembers or cares about at all.

Star Wars Rebels is an animated series set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It follows a motley crew of rebels aboard the starship Ghost in the early days of the Galactic Empire. Kanan Jarrus is the leader of the Ghost crew and a Jedi who survived the infamous Order 66. Hera Syndulla is the ship's pilot, who later becomes a Rebel Commander.

The pair is a romantic item for most of the series. Some fans found Hera and Kanan's commitment to each other strong, mature, and meaningful. Others, however, found their relationship lacking in romantic development, especially during the early seasons when their romance was hinted at more than explicitly shown. Having said that, their relationship does come with a memorable ending in Star Wars Rebels.

Andor is one of the best and highest-rated works to come out of Star Wars. It follows the events leading up to the 2016 film Rogue One, capturing the formation of the Rebel Alliance.

But Andor also shows us the other side, too, taking us into the inner workings of the Empire. There, we meet Dedra Meero and Syril Karn, who turn out to be a couple. It's interesting to see a romance from this angle. But at the same time, they're villains, they're fascists, and they're toxic. This isn't exactly the kind of couple you find yourself rooting for.

Rey and Kylo Ren are the backbone of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The whole story is built around their yin and yang relationship. The Last Jedi hints at their romantic feelings, which are confirmed in The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars tries to paint them as a Shakespearean tragedy. He's the bad guy, she's the heroine, so, of course, they fall for each other.

It's probably meant to be a sexy, forbidden kind of love. But the reality is, their romance is too short-lived to ever truly leave an impact. What Kylo shares with Rey doesn't come close to the iconic romance between his parents. Also, most Star Wars fans don't really care about the sequel trilogy -- so why should they waste time caring about this love story?

Droids trigger different emotions in different characters within the Star Wars universe. Some people hate them, while others love droids. In Lando Calrissian's case, he really loves droids. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, Lando Calrissian and L3-37 share a complex relationship with romantic undertones. Lando seems romantically interested in L3-37, though his feelings are never explicitly stated in the movie.

It's an interesting dynamic. But at the end of the day, L3-37 is a droid, and Lando is a human, making this relationship feel strange and awkward compared to other Star Wars romances.

Long before there was Leia, Han Solo fell for a woman named Qi'ra. Unlike Leia, Qi'ra had a similar upbringing to Han. They were just a couple of street kids, who dreamed of one day running off together and building a better life. Unfortunately, Solo and its actors failed to capture that passion. The chemistry between Han and Qi'ra felt flat, forced, and unbelievable.

It wasn't all the actors' faults, though. Han and Leia are the most iconic romance in Star Wars, and also one of the most famous love stories in cinema. How can Qi'ra possibly compete with that? How are we supposed to get invested in this love story when there's a much better one for Han just around the corner? At the end of Solo, it's revealed that Qi'ra has secretly been working with Darth Maul. The ending hints that he may train her in the dark side. Does this happen? We don't know -- because no one really cared enough about Solo or Qi-ra for Disney to make a movie about it.

Few Star Wars characters are as hated as Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best), the extra-terrestrial from George Lucas' prequel trilogy. Some fans, mostly those who were children during the prequels, embrace the character's comedic relief. Most fans, however, find Jar Jar annoying, childish, and overly stupid. And yet, despite this, franchise creator George Lucas felt like it would be a good idea to give Jar Jar Binks a romantic relationship in the animated series, The Clone Wars.

Jar Jar has a fling with Queen Julia of the planet Bardotta after she enlists his help in a kidnapping. Watching these two share intimate moments felt awkward and uncomfortable rather than warm and toasty. Most Clone Wars fans didn't like this romantic pairing. Or, as Jar Jar himself would say, "Wesa no liken this!"

Perhaps no Star Wars romance is more despised than that of Finn and Rose Tico. Rose (Kelly Marie Tran), the first major Asian-American character in Star Wars, was introduced in the polarizing film, The Last Jedi. She formed a bond with Finn (John Boyega) and was kind of like his Jiminy Cricket, guiding him through the movie. But it threw audiences for a loop when Rose randomly kissed Finn at the end of the film.

Many fans felt this romantic angle was forced, awkward, and unnecessary. On top of that, a lot of fans just didn't like Rose. Tran herself became the victim of intense racist and sexist online hate and attacks. Aware of the intense hatred for her character, Disney significantly reduced Rose's role in the last film, The Rise of Skywalker. As for her romantic relationship with Finn? It was never explored nor even mentioned again.
