Family is crucial in the Star Wars universe. A lot of the saga is about where characters come from. Although, Star Wars: The Last Jedi tried to change that with the film's reveal, or lack thereof, of Rey's birth parents. That could all change of course with J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode IX. However, The Last Jedi aside, family and characters' heritage has always been held in high regard in George Lucas' space opera movie franchise.

Fans who have taken a look at the family trees in Harry Potter, may have noticed that there are a lot of families tied to one another. It’s not too surprising, considering how much effort would have had to go into keeping the pure bloodline exactly that.Even the families that don’t necessarily care about pureblood status have some unexpected connections, though they may regret having them. Some of these connections are well known, while others are less frequently talked about.
