Relationship Analysis: Why Kanan/Hera Works and Kyle/Jan Doesn't

Look, I don't hate Jan Ors. She's a good character, very well rounded, and quite impressive. However, unlike Hera, her approach to relationships/family is....lacking. And because of that lacking, I feel she's not a good match for Kyle.

Allow me to explain, if you feel inclined to listen. Otherwise, nothing is stopping you from ignoring my post.

Kanan/Hera: War-Forged Lovers

When he was a barely into his teens, Kanan Jarrus was a front line soldier and commander. He threw himself into the Clone Wars, fought side by side with fellow Jedi and clones, and was doing all he could to preserve the galaxy. When Order 66 happened, he was still quite young, and as he began drifting in and out of jobs and bars, he realized that he wanted to find one woman he could settle with, who he could have a family with and the happiness in life he'd been denied during the Clone Wars.

Hera Syndulla is the daughter of Ryloth's prominent hero Cham Syndulla. She grew up learning about heroism, honor, and the rights of the people at his knee, and saw firsthand the horrors the Separatists unleashed on the galaxy. When her mother died, she was still quite young, and this both drove a wedge between herself and her remaining family, and made her seek out a purpose in life to fill the hole left in her heart from Eleni's death. When she found Kanan, Hera slowly began to realize that the answer to her pain and heartbreak didn't just entail fighting for the cause and pouring her heart and soul into it, but in forming the family that she had lost.

This is what makes them work. In seeking out a goal in life to soothe their pain, Kanan and Hera discover that they have the chance to create a life together after the war with the Empire is over. It takes some time for the two to acknowledge the depth of their love for each other, but even then, they know that they'll never be happy with anyone else.

This is the beauty of their relationship. Kanan and Hera, two lost souls broken by a war they had no say in, find love and healing together, and against all the odds come out of it together complete and healthy. That's why they work, and why everyone is drawn to them: because Kanan and Hera show that no matter what has happened to you, whatever has shaped your life until that moment you meet the love of your life, you can find happiness and family with someone.

Kyle/Jan: Unscathed Casual Lovers

Kyle Katarn is a farm boy from Sulon, who lost his mother to natural circumstances at a young age. This left him to grow up with his father, and while they were untroubled by the Clone Wars, the most problems they had were keeping the money coming in, which is why Kyle joined the Empire in the first place. It was only after his graduation that the greatest tragedy in Kyle's life took place, and once learning it was the Empire that had killed his father, Kyle quickly renounced the Empire and joined the Rebellion.

Jan Ors is the daughter of well off Alderaanians, and while she most likely heard and saw a lot of the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Jan grew up happy and independent. She wished to do a lot on her own, and was inspired to fight for the cause of the Rebellion wholeheartedly without that much inspiration from her family (though them setting up an anti-Imperial network didn't hurt either.) I'm sure she was devastated when her homeworld was obliterated, but Jan continued to put the mission above all else, even when Kyle came swaggering into her life.

And this is the crux of their relationship that makes it off-putting: Kyle and Jan, while frequently flirting and spending alone time together, have different goals. Kyle, while a lot healthier than Kanan in terms of his personal history, primarily seeks a steady family life while maintaining his New Republic and Jedi Master duties. Jan, as good as she is, prioritizes building up and serving the New Republic. She loves Kyle, but if it comes to a choice between marrying him and continued service, she will choose service without fail. No joke, she repeatedly turned down his proposals of marriage, and while she excused it as not knowing which one of them will live or die, it still boils down to Jan not wanting to relinquish her independent career for a family.

Thus, their relationship comes across as casual partners with "benefits." They maintain a relationship without tying the knot, and it feels both superficial on Jan's side and like a grim acceptance on Kyle's part.

That's why I feel Kanan/Hera is both better than Kyle/Jan, as well as realistic. Because of the hardships that Kanan and Hera have each been through from such a young age, they're more readily able to discern the nature of their relationship as well as form the family they now understand they want. Meanwhile, Kyle and Jan, though damaged later in life, were relatively unharmed during their childhood. This means they don't actively seek what Kanan and Hera search for, and with their different approaches to life, makes their goals contradictory and lead only to cohabitation that is ultimately unfulfilling for them both.

I hope you enjoyed this. If you agree, I'm happy. If you disagree, that's fine and I accept that. I just felt like sharing these observations and explaining the nature of these two well known couples.

May the Force be with you!

This plot has been rattling my brain for years. Here it is:

“You might as well as be a stormtrooper!” In another life, he was.

Basically, in which Cassian and Jyn have a little bit of both Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors.

Kyle Katarn, Coded Transmission. To Jan Ors.

Subject: Prison Breakout Of 1 ABY.

I was requested by members of the Rebel High Command, to infiltrate a prison colony on a jungle planet to recover a Rebel agent named Kaitlyn Eres. This was only two months after I’d received the Star Of Alderaan honorific, and I’d done my fair share of celebrating. So I decided now was time to return to the job.

With my imperial contacts, especially one friend of my father’s, a man named Austin’d crafted up an identity for me. Kyle Zar, someone who’d had a warrant out on his arrest for the brutalizing of a ISB Informant in a random mugging. I turned myself in. They probed for questioning, but nobody thought I was Katarn. I was transported to the prison colony, where I’d met a few figures. First of all, Kaitlyn herself. Second of all, Cade.. I wanna say “Derden”? I wasn’t sure of his last name.

Onto Kaitlyn, she explained on why she was here. I explained to her why I was here.

Her side of the story described a.. living planet, where the sea had the force. She described Rahn’s sparing of an Inquisitor, and she was captured when she attempted to fight off Imperial forces on her own volition.

Onto Cade, Cade was a blond-haired; I think, green-eyed mandalorian, following after the movements that’d arose during the Clone Wars. Passionate, but seemed to not do anything ON those passions. I’d describe him as a coward, although harsh those words are, it’s what I see as my truth. Last I saw Cade? He was a bartender at a cantina in Tatooine, and at a nightclub on Naboo (where I took a good friend of mine. Hope the force’s with that little guy, he went missing some time ago.)

Anyways, back on track. The facility was faulty, thanks to a duo of Rebel Saboteurs, named Corvis and the other only going by “DN.” in my transmissions with him.

I coordinated with a heavily accented fair-skinned man with raven hair alongside Cade, Kaitlyn and others as the faults of the base leaked through. I subdued an Imperial Stormtrooper watching over us. I was assisted by the aforementioned man, and I used a multitool we were given for labor as to save Cade’s life, plunging it into a stormtrooper’s slit of his armor. I’d learned of that slit from my Omega Exercise, where I’d lost a good friend thanks to it. May Tobias rest in peace.

The escape was coordinated alongside heavy weather conditions. This was another advantage, and an issue. The chaos allowed us to escape haste-fully through the vents. We made it out, looking into the chaos that was ongoing.

The accented man, whose name I never learned was shot whereas he and I both knew he wouldn’t make it out. Stayed there, and gave us time, or just died from his injuries, his body being discovered at a later date. Imperials didn’t encounter us until we were way down the trail, so either situation could’ve happened. Now, onto the encounter.

We moved carefully, near a ravine of sorts and within the foliage. I noticed a home quite far away, and that was our objective, getting to some civilization. Austin had a ship placed out for me, proper clearance codes and all, in a garage near “town hall.”

I had this stinging feeling in my neck as I trailed through the foliage. Wasn’t anything physical, knew that for sure. It’s something you get the instinct for. As if you were tracing the exact kriffing steps of what’d been taught to you in “Ambush 101” on the wrong end of it.

Quickly told everyone to duck.

As fast as possible.

**It’s as if i got a instinct for it. Same thing happened at Danuta, on Fest, and on Coruscant.**

I grabbed for a depleted weapon. Knew that, only a few shots in it.

Let the gun guide itself. And it guided itself in the direction that was needed.

It was about 9 Imperial Army soldiers (the basic conscripts, not the , and I’d taken out four of them.

They fired wildly, eager to inflict something onto us.

Kaitlyn used the force, thrashing one to the ground and getting a blaster for the both of us. Cade lied down and stayed there as I requested.

Was kind of harder then firing on a regular stormtrooper.

The coldness, inhuman masks thy wore made you forgot you were firing on another sentient being.

It gave a slight peep into their souls— their mouths. Their screams.

I noticed one had a medic symbol all too late.

And I wonder, Jan.

Am I degrading down onto their level with the numbness of it all? Of it? I haven’t lost my conviction in the mission; not in a slightest.

I recall in the earlier days. When all I wanted to do was inflict that wrath onto others for my Father’s death. And I remember when Nico went missing. How I wanted nothing more but to find those responsible, but that was also a loose end.

And this reminds me why I need a community. People to keep me steady- to hold me to a standard of the person I am. That i’m meant to be.

Anyways, after the skirmish.

I met back with Austin at the ship.

Eres and Derden got off the planet.

I will send more about this, and I may get Rahn to create one about the living planet thing.

Transmission over.

@helsingvania hope I didn’t mischaracterizing cade, kinda a retelling of those rps but I had to make up the rest of it all, this is for the anniversary of well.. ffa
