Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): Well Known Characters Match 1
Padmé Amidala vs Alexsandr Kallus
Padmé Amidala
Alexsandr Kallus
PadmĂ© Amidala | Identity: bisexual | Media: Established in Queenâs Trilogy
E. K. Johnsonâs Queenâs Shadow established PadmĂ© as bisexual, harboring unacted upon feelings for her handmaiden SabĂ©. This was further explored in the final book of the trilogy Queenâs Hope, where it became a tragic love triangle for PadmĂ© between SabĂ© and Anakin. SabĂ© represented ideology, duty, and thinking about the bigger picture. Being with Anakin represented forgetting all these things, a selfish love where she could just be herself. As the movies already established, she chose Anakin. And we all know how that went.
Alexsandr Kallus | Identity: mlm | Media: Star Wars Rebels
Since itâs a TV show, Iâm going to assume that people already know about the relationship between Kallus and Zeb. Unfortunately, other than his first name there are no fun EU tidbits for me to share. But as a reminder, Kallus and Zebâs relationship being romantic hasnât been officially confirmed via word of god. However, it has a level of textual support greater than any other popular slash ship (and similar to other canon ships), hence his inclusion in this bracket.
