The Other

"The Other" is a term used by Nibbler when Fry argues that Leela would be person worth saving in the future. Nibbler offhanded says, "she must be The Other", much to Fry's confusion.

The exact nature of "The Other" remains unexplained, even with the events of the four DVD films. However, speculation remains on the topic if the writers are going to address the nature of "The Other" in the coming season and what it'll mean.

Other solutions draw similarities to , where mentions "there is another", when  takes off against 's and Yoda's wises. While the purpose of this other person was never revealed during the original trilogy of Star Wars, it was always assumed to be. Some would argue that the whole purpose of the this "there is another", is a way to hint at the fact that Luke and Leia are siblings.

The writers may specifically have picked this issue, since it was not finalised in Star Wars as a topic never to be finished off in Futurama canon. Though, it is naïve to assume the writers are hinting that Fry and Leela are related, which would only make the Fry-Leela relationship all the more complicated.
