26 True (Fictional) Lovers: Pop Culture's Best Couples

HAN SOLO AND LEIA ORGANA
Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back
A mouthy space princess packing heat and the grumpy, equally armed space pirate who loved her. It doesn't get any more epic (or hot) than Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford). While their relationship could have easily gotten lost among the clash of light sabers and mumblings of Jedi puppets, it was the achingly understated exchange between Han (on his way to a carbonite bath) and Leia (powerless to stop it) that spoke volumes. She loved him. He knew. Period. (Know what also helps in a relationship? Not being related.) —Dafna Pleban
