Well, actually, IT WAS essential to the story. I mean, one of the main reasons Anakin went to the dark side was because of his love for Padme, because he wanted the power to save her.
Now, if he had been gay, the writers would have needed another excuse to make him go dark. Sure, they could have made Padme a male, but in that case we would need a different origin story for Luke (if he was ever to exist in that scenario).
Now, with all that being said, I wouldnt mind an homosexual romance (with a kiss included) in the Star Wars universe.
