Marriage / Legends Marriage was the official union of two beings , usually a union of mutual love and attraction . However , in some cases , the union was for political reasons . Marriage could sometimes produce offspring , depending on cultural mandates , personal choice , or lack thereof . History . Within many humanoid societies , marriage choices were in most cases made through courtship . Across the galaxy , a myriad of wedding traditions existed amongst the different species , most of which were generally of a monogamous nature . However , some species , such as the Cereans , due to either their culture or even reproductive rates , advocated polygamous unions . In early Hapan marriage traditions , attractive female " specimens " were usually kidnapped by pirates and mated with . Over time , these couplings resulted in the Hapan people appearing more physically attractive to other members of the Human species , resulting in the reclassification of their species to Near - Human s . When the Jedi wiped out the pirates in 3000 BBY , and most of the male Hapan population with it , this resulted in society - wide changes but did not adversely affect the Hapan species ' beauty as a whole . Under the original order , Jedi were forbidden to marry because they considered attachment to be dangerous , as it was believed to lead an individual to the dark side , as was the case of Shaela Nuur . Despite the ban and its associated dangers , many Jedi , including Kento Marek , Ranik Solusar , Nejaa Halcyon , Revan and Anakin Skywalker , were wed , either in secrecy or with the knowledge and disapproval of the Jedi Council , which led to disciplinary actions being taken against them . Ban notwithstanding , these unions often resulted in children being born , but not all necessarily becoming Jedi . Some Jedi Masters in the Old Order were permitted to marry , as was the case with Master Ki - Adi - Mundi . Due to the low ratio of males to females , Mundi ' s duty to his species was taken into account and he was permitted to remain wedded to his wife and honor wives . Jedi Masters T ' ra Saa and Tholme fell in love , despite the vast difference in species , but ultimately did not become a married couple . Master Obi - Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi fell in love but this did not continue due to Tachi ' s demise . Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura had a long relationship until their deaths . The New Jedi Order had their own marriage traditions . Under the leadership of Luke Skywalker , the Jedi were allowed to marry and Skywalker himself married Mara Jade . Some species , such as the Zeltron , were devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and upheld hedonistic values , and marriage wasn ' t held in high regard . Some Zeltrons made an attempt to " educate " others on the " errors of monogamy . " There were Zeltrons who thought differently , but they were rare . Deliah Blue was in a monogamous relationship with Cade Skywalker in 137 ABY , and even felt jealousy , a near unheard of emotion for a Zeltron to feel . Inter - species unions were rare , though not unheard of , and sometimes produced offspring . Commonly , such unions were between a Human and a near - Human , as in the case of the Lethagoe , although more exotic unions were present , such as Cut Lawquane ' s marriage with his Twi ' lek wife , Suu . However , it was unlikely that such pairings would produce hybrid children , in the absence of genetic modification or even Sith alchemy . Jedi Master Arca Jeth had Sephi ancestry , and Darth Malgus had a relationship with a Twi ' lek , Eleena Daru , although they never married . This move echoed the history of the Sith , where members of the Sith species would interbreed with the Exiles . These unions produced many powerful Sith Lords who were strong in the power of the dark side . Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow were two examples of such beings . Another exotic example of cross - species mating would be the Force - sensitive assassin Aurra Sing , the offspring of a Human mother and a father of an unknown species , whom she had inherited certain traits from , most easily seen with her alabaster - white skin . In other cases , offspring of unions between Humans and near - Humans were not so markedly different from the normal appearance of baseline Humans , although sometimes they did face certain cultural or clan issues , as in the case of the Human / Kiffar hybrid Ailyn Vel .
