1,297: We Desperately Need Romance in Star Wars Movies

Star Wars fans love to talk about shipping in the new movies. Rey and Finn. Finn and Poe. Poe and Rey. Rey and Kylo Ren. Heck, people are even shipping Kylo Ren and General Hux now! Why do we care so much about shipping characters? Because we desperately want to see romance re-introduced as an element of Star Wars movies. And you only need to consider what the most critically acclaimed and fan-beloved Saga movie has, that none of the other ones have, to understand our deep desire for romance in Star Wars. Punch it!
