Star Wars
Star Wars Day is celebrated annually on May 4, a date that pays tribute to the legendary film series created by George Lucas. This day has established itself as a special occasion for fans of the saga to share their enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe.
That is why at Infobae we ask Artificial Intelligence its opinion regarding who is the best and worst couple in the saga.
It is worth remembering that the connection between May 4 and Star Wars arises from the phrase “May the Fourth be with you”, a variant that plays with the sound similarity between “Fourth” (fourth) and “Force”, deriving in a congratulation that translates as “May the Four be with you.”
This link was first established in 1979, when the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom used the phrase in a newspaper advertisement to congratulate Margaret Thatcher on her election victory, with the message “May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations.”
Regarding this point, the AI consulted delved into the fact that although this may be subjective and depends on the preferences of the fans, she considered that “one of the most iconic couples is the one formed by Han Solo and Princess Leia, played by Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.

In this sense, he explained that he considers it that way because the relationship between Han and Leia develops throughout the original Star Wars trilogy in a way that goes beyond the romantic.
“It starts with sparks and tension, with Han being an arrogant smuggler and Leia a strong, determined princess. As the story progresses, their relationship deepens, showing genuine affection and support for each other. They complement each other in a unique way: Han brings the most earthy and carefree aspect, while Leia represents nobility and bravery.”

Artificial Intelligence pointed out that a couple constantly criticized is that formed by Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, especially in the prequel trilogy.
“The relationship between Anakin and Padmé is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, the age difference between the characters is considerable, as Padmé is significantly older than Anakin. “This may be uncomfortable for some viewers, especially when you consider that their romance begins when Anakin is a young Jedi apprentice and Padmé is an experienced political figure,” he threw.
He also elaborated that the way the relationship between Anakin and Padmé develops throughout the prequel trilogy can seem ‘forced and lacking chemistry compared to other couples in the saga.’ Furthermore, he returned to the fact that several critics have mentioned that “the acting and dialogue between the characters fail to convey a convincing emotional connection, which makes their romance less believable and less satisfying for viewers.”

In short, the relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala is often criticized for its development and execution, making it one of the least popular “Star Wars” couples for some fans.
