I can kind of see it, though I highly doubt it was intentional.

It's worth noting that, although Rumple didn't kill Belle, he did kill Milah. Belle shares more character traits with Padme than Milah, though.

Also, it's worth noting that in this narrative, Emma is Leia (I mean, she's not Baelfire's sister, but they were love interests early on only for her to end up with the dashing rogueish captain instead).
