Summary

• Not all top duos in Star Wars are Force s or part of the Skywalker family, showcasing diverse partnerships across the franchise.
• Rey & Kylo's alliance in The Last Jedi, Finn & Poe's friendship in The Force Awakens, and Ezra & Sabine's bond in Rebels are standout duos.
• Iconic duos like Han Solo & Chewbacca, C-3PO & R2-D2, and Obi-Wan & Anakin remain fan favorites for their enduring friendships and partnerships.

Star Wars has undoubtedly had a number of incredible duos over the years, but 11 in particular stand out as the franchise's best. Because both the Jedi and the Sith follow a master and apprentice structure, Star Wars is naturally creating duos all the time. However, not all the best duos are Force s, nor are they all the Skywalker saga's heavy hitters.

The best duos in Star Wars instead span the franchise's three trilogies, the Disney+ TV shows, and a combination of masters and apprentices, best friends, allies, and lovers. While many of the Skywalker family tree. All in all, however, these 11 duos reflect Star Wars' absolute best team-ups.

11 Rey & Kylo

The Fallen Skywalker-Solo & The Scavenger-Turned-Jedi

Kylo Ren and Rey certainly didn't have a straightforward path to becoming a team, but some of their best duo moments happened before they were on the same side. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, when Kylo Ren decides to kill his master, Snoke, and fight side-by-side with Rey, the two have arguably their best on-screen battle, systematically taking down the Elite Praetorian Guards, at times literally back to back. While obviously their final fight with Palpatine in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is iconic, this moment in The Last Jedi was really a defining moment for the two.

Their Force dyad can also not be ignored, in particular because it signaled the concept's introduction into the Star Wars franchise. With this dyad, the two were able to pull off incredible stunts, such as ing a lightsaber between the two essentially through space. Although there has since been some question around whether their final kiss was romantic, with Rey actress Daisy Ridley suggesting in a recent interview that a kiss can mean many things and that The Rise of Skywalker kiss in particular was more a goodbye, the two made an excellent Star Wars duo, romantic or not.

10 Finn & Poe

The Ex-Stormtrooper Resistance Hero & The Resistance Hotshot Pilot

Poe Dameron and Finn are another excellent sequel trilogy duo, ranking higher than Rey and Kylo because of their consistency and on-screen humor. In many ways, Poe and Finn serve as the comic relief of the trilogy, but they also represent the relationship most reminiscent of the original trilogy cast. Poe Dameron manages to pull off becoming both the new Han Solo and the new Leia Organa, and, although Finn's story did not end up being the one of a Jedi hero as many, including Finn actor John Boyega, had hoped, he nevertheless represents a major Star Wars hero.

9 Ezra & Sabine

The Lost Jedi & The Mandalorian Jedi

Introduced in Star Wars Rebels, Ezra and Sabine have now hit the small screen in live-action in the Ahsoka show. This update to their story also saw the return of Ezra Bridger to the Star Wars galaxy after his great sacrifice at the end of Rebels to rid the galaxy of the threat Grand iral Thrawn posed. This return was particularly touching because it was only made possible through Sabine's dedication to bringing her friend back. Although they bickered throughout Rebels, it's clear that they mean a lot to each other, which is reflected in the strength of the duo.

8 Kanan & Hera

The Jedi Survivor & The Rebellion's Best Pilot

Another Star Wars Rebels duo, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla are arguably one of Star Wars' best couples, if not the best. Their relationship was a slow build in Rebels but was well-earned, particularly because Star Wars had an uphill battle to prove that attachments aren't inherently bad for Jedi in light of the prequel trilogy. Star Wars pulled it off, though, as Hera and Kanan are an excellent duo and show that attachment can be a strength rather than a danger if done right. Although ending in tragedy, Hera and Kanan are truly one of Star Wars' best duos.

7 C-3PO & R2-D2

Anakin's Handmade Droid & Pé's Reliable Droid

R2-D2 and C-3PO are Star Wars' most enduring duo, and for good reason. Not only do the two immediately stir up nostalgia in whatever Star Wars show or movie they appear in, but they are also frequently comic relief and simply represent Star Wars history. While the family themselves may have had no idea how much the droids connected them, R2 and C-3PO are an incredible link in the Skywalker line. After R2-D2 traded hands from Pé to Anakin and Anakin created C-3PO, the two went on to see Leia grow up on Alderaan and ultimately reunited with Luke.

The two are also Star Wars' most uncomplicated best friends.

The two are also Star Wars' most uncomplicated best friends. While they frequently take jabs at one another (although it's difficult to know exactly what R2 is saying), this is entirely to do with their programming and is in large part what makes the two so comedic when put together. C-3PO is all about protocol and following rules and expectations, while R2 inherited a sizable amount of Anakin Skywalker's personality and is therefore a bit chaotic and reckless. Presumably, the two will continue to appear in Rey's Star Wars movie, which will continue the duo's long-standing legacy.

6 Ahsoka Tano & Captain Rex

Anakin Skywalker's Padawan & His Right-Hand Man

While Ahsoka, of course, made an excellent duo with Anakin in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars show too, Captain Rex is her best duo partner in Star Wars, in part because, unlike with Anakin and Ahsoka, the two remain dedicated friends throughout the Star Wars timeline. While they first had a bit of tension because a very young Ahsoka technically outranked Rex, they developed a deep affection for one another, with Rex taking the lead on Ahsoka's clone troopers painting their helmets to match her facial markings.

The moment that cemented the two on the Star Wars duos list was during the tragic events of Order 66, when Ahsoka manages to break Rex out of mind control and they attempt to save the clones who are trying to kill them. Ahsoka and Rex continue this commitment to one another, both appearing in Star Wars Rebels, proving that they remained linked even during the Imperial Era. While Rex hasn't made an appearance in Ahsoka and his whereabouts remain unknown, hopefully his fate will be revealed, and the two will have one final on-screen connection in season 2.

5 Han Solo & Chewbacca

The Iconic Hotshot Scoundrel & The Beloved Wookiee Hero

One of the original trilogy's best and most iconic duos was Han Solo and Chewbacca, who remained inseparable to the end. When they were introduced in A New Hope, Han and Chewbacca seemed like haughty, slightly standoffish characters, but throughout the original trilogy, they revealed themselves to be true heroes. This trend continued in the sequel trilogy, with both working alongside Finn to bring Rey back and take down Starkiller Base. While Star Wars: The Force Awakens sadly ended with Kylo Ren killing his father, Han Solo, the Han and Chewbacca duo ended as strong as ever.

4 Sidious & Vader

The Galaxy's Most Dangerous Sith & His Fallen Apprentice

Although villains, Darth Sidious and Darth Vader are nevertheless an undeniably powerful Star Wars duo. As early as the prequel trilogy, even before Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, Palpatine and Anakin represented some of Star Wars' most powerful characters. When the two took over in the wake of Order 66, their power only became more obvious. Together, they ruled the galaxy for two decades. While the duo ends with Vader betraying Sidious, even this cements their status as Sith master and apprentice, as that is always the way of the Sith.

3 Din Djarin & Grogu

The Lone Bounty Hunter & The Jedi-Turned-Mandalorian

Despite being one of the newest additions, Din Djarin and Grogu have more than earned their high spot on this list. Introduced in The Mandalorian, both Grogu and Din Djarin quickly became fan-favorites, and for great reason. Grogu, in addition to being adorable, is a powerful Force- who chooses attachments over the way of the Jedi, and Din Djarin is a bounty hunter turned adoptive father. The two are perhaps the franchise's best example of a family unit, and the The Mandalorian & Grogu movie opens up even more opportunities for the duo.

2 Luke & Leia

The Galaxy's New Hope & Alderaan's Strong Princess

Luke and Leia sadly get little screen time together, all things considered, but the two are certainly a dynamite pair, effectively saving the galaxy (twice, technically) between the two of them. While Luke restores the Jedi and saves Darth Vader/Anakin's soul in Return of the Jedi, Leia leads the Rebellion and then plays a major role in establishing the New Republic. Without the twins, the Empire's rule could have gone on without end and Darth Vader may never have returned to the light. Of course, it's likely not surprising that Pé and Anakin's children rank so highly on this list.
