Discussion Post: What are your favorite Star Wars rare pairs?

[spookykingdomstarlight]

Hey, all!

I'm incredibly excited for nominations to start so I can see what some of your favorite rare pairs are! In the mean time, if you'd like to talk about them here, please do so! Whether you're planning on participating or not at any step along the way or not, I'd love to hear about the pairings you care about. Do you have only a few that you love? Or do you love so many that you've lost count (like me)? What do you love about your rare pairs?

Come chat rare pairs!

My favorite and all time rarepair is doubly cursed because it is Legends and it is fem slash. (It doesn't help that both women are fairly happily married off in canon.)

And that would be Leia Organa (Solo)/Winter Retrac (Celchu) forever and ever. Even before the Prequels gave me Padmé/Sabé (another favorite and nearly as rare, it feels like), I shipped Leia/Winter.

The Force Awakens has given me another doomed pairing for Leia, because I do ship her and Rey in a very weird way and that is the main reason I really DO NOT Want Rey Skywalker. (Even if I feel safer shipping them than the Luke/Rey I see running around.)

I enjoy both Luke/Biggs and Luke/Lando for male slash. And Thrawn/Car'das, which is a major pairing for either character but they don't get written very much. (I ship Thrawn/Pellaeon too, just mutually unrequited in most circumstances.)

Het rare ships? I suppose Luke/Callista falls into that despite being a canon relationship. You just don't see it much.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I love Leia/Winter. I read Scoundrels recently and it had Winter being incredibly worried/sad about Leia because she didn't know if Leia had survived the destruction of Alderaan and it gave me so many feelings about them.

Gotta love all the doomed Leia pairings. T_T (I also find Leia/Rey intriguing not gonna lie).

Obligatory hooray Luke/Lando! And I'm coming around on Luke/Biggs. It's pretty cute. :D

I haven't gotten around to reading any books with Callista in it yet, but I'll probably ship that, too. Somehow I end up shipping everything.

Thrawn/Pellaeon is a great pairing, with so much potential for tragedy & heartbreak & cultural differences!

YES!!!

I tend to go with UST because of the military protocols between them, but I do love seeing it written.
