Now that we’ve talked about conception sufficient, let’s really get bizarre! The story of Han and Leia’s marriage within the now-non-canonical Star Wars Expanded Universe is, like so many beloved issues concerning the Expanded Universe, extremely convoluted. Not solely as a result of they tried to get married twice, however as a result of the primary try ended so poorly that it could take one other three years for Leia and Han to try to tie the knot once more.

The timeline of the EU’s post-Return of the Jedi interval is far more drawn out than the one we now have in present continuity—the battle between the newly shaped New Republic and the Galactic Empire wouldn’t be over for a number of extra years in comparison with this equal level in canon in the present day—however nonetheless, Organa-Solo matrimony was on the playing cards in 5ABY. Instead of a non-public ceremony, Han and Leia deliberate on getting married in a bigger occasion on Yavin IV, within the remnants of the nice corridor of the Massassi temple the place the Rebel Alliance celebrated the destruction of the Death Star. Emphasis on deliberate. The remaining novel within the Jedi Prince collection, Prophets of the Dark Side (first launched in 1993) concludes with Leia strolling down the aisle on Yavin IV, being given a imaginative and prescient of the long run by the Force of her first kids with Han, the twins Jacen and Jaina Solo. However, we by no means see the conclusion of that wedding ceremony—the Jedi Prince collection was cancelled earlier than the following ebook, which might’ve proven the marriage being attacked by Imperial forces. And after all, we all know there’s one other wedding ceremony within the EU, which we’ll get to quickly sufficient. An accompanying tie-in article series on the official Star Wars web site finally clarified that this wedding ceremony was really interrupted, and by no means went via. How?

Sit down: it was attacked by the brainwashed son of Palpatine. Named Triclops. Because he has a 3rd eye behind his head. Oh, and did we point out that, form of perhaps kind of like Rey’s personal father in The Rise of Skywalker, Triclops was a clone engineered via Palpatine’s manipulation of the Force? We’re not even going to get into one of many main protagonists within the Jedi Prince books being Triclops’ son… Ken! Anyway, we’re getting far off the crushed monitor: suffice to say, Han and Leia’s wedding ceremony right here apparently by no means occurred, and so it’s time to get weirder.
