	I always imagined that Luke was infatuated with Leia, but she wasn't that into him. Luke is the nice guy, and those kinds of guys usually end up being just friends. But if they did anything, I don't find anything wrong with that since neither of them knew they were related. Btw, that blog was hilarious

	I think Robot Chicken's depiction of what happened between Leia and Luke is considered canon. "That was so...wrong." -----signature----- SFF Films & TV Trivia Contest: Subject is "Stargate SG1" Sign-ups Open

	When Leia kisses Luke, that is only in front of Han to make him jealous. She is obviously into Han the whole time, and is not into Luke like that. They are more just bff. ALso, in ROTJ when he tells her they are related, she says. "I know. In a way... I've always known." I think that right there explains that she never felt anything for Luke but a strong bond that was not romantic at all. She felt close to him, but not in any sick way. I think Luke also felt the same pull toward Leia, but just didn't understand it as much as her because he didn't have a handsome, witty, blaster-toting, pilot around to fall in love with like Leia did. He felt a closeness with her, but I don't think it was anything romantic. She kisses him on the cheek for luck, which I don't think is weird because relatives kiss on the cheek all the time. I think he tries to deter Han away from Leia not because he is jealous, but because he feels like Han isn't good enough for her or something of that nature. More like a protective feeling than a jealous feeling.

	Yeah, but Lucas has said that kissing is code for sex in his movies. Take that as you will.

	I don't think they did it. The only kiss they really shared was forced and it was made to inspire jealousy. I am sure Han & Leia worked something out a few times before he was frozen in carbonyte. (sp?)

	Carbonite. But if carbonate's CO3(2-), carbonite would be CO2(2-), single-bonded. (Carbon dioxide's double-bonded.) My own theory? Han got there first in the movies. Luke got there first in the Special Edition. (And yes, this is a blatant "Han shot first" joke with a double entendre on "shot".)

	It never would have happened, even if han didn't exist. She would just be celibate. I know it in my heart. They never would have hooked up.

	She's from a hippie planet, and his destiny is to reestablish a hippie religion. Actually, when I was in high school, my girlfriend and I were watching Star Wars on TV once, and when it had the closeup on Luke after the medal ceremony, she said "You know, our first time, you had the same look on your face afterward." Anyway, here's their thoughts after the Battle of Yavin: Luke: He likes her, but the poor kid doesn't realize she likes me better. She showed me just how much a couple hours ago. Han: He likes her, but the nerfherder doesn't realize she likes me better. She showed me just how much a couple hours ago. Leia: What did I do? This is why I shouldn't get drunk. Come on, Leia, you're a princess, your whole job is not to get into these situations. Chewie: Yoda gave me a medal 20 years ago, and you don't see me smiling about it. R2-D2: You're brother and sister! Ew! Obi-Wan: Stang, I knew I forgot to tell him something. And ROTJ... Obi-Wan: The other is your sister Leia. Luke: From a certain point of view again, right? You mean "sister" as in the comradeship of arms. Just like how Han and Wedge are my brothers. Obi-Wan: No, I mean your sister. Luke: You mean because the Jedi called each other "brother". Obi-Wan: No, I mean your sister. Luke: lalalalala I am not listening. Obi-Wan: Listen to me: Vader is your father, he built C-3PO as a child, Boba Fett's father was the template for the stormtroopers, Chewbacca knew Yoda, he killed your mother in rage but she didn't die until giving birth to you and Leia, and everyone hates Jar Jar. Luke: Okay, I have no way to make that into "a certain point of view".

	word on hating JarJar. He is as lame as it gets. I'm still adamant there was nothing going on between them though.

	First, it is three years between ANH and TESB. Second, "Splinters Of The Mind's Eye" takes place a year after ANH. Third, nothing happened. Nothing in the lore before Lucas changed the relationship between the two. Now, in the early drafts of TESB, there was more of a love triangle between the three of them. But as the story developed, a lot of Luke's side was downplayed and finally cut out all together. The end result being that Leia was clearly into Han more than Luke, leaving only one kissed designed to get back at Han. And is a follow-up to Leia saying that she would rather kiss a Wookiee than Han. HAN: "Come on! You want me to stay because of the way you feel about me." LEIA: "Yes. You're a great help to us. You're a natural leader..." HAN: "No! That's not it. Come on. Aahhh - uh huh! Come on." LEIA: "You're imagining things." HAN: "Am I? Then why are you following me? Afraid I was going to leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?" LEIA: "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee." HAN: "I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss!" HAN: "Laugh it up, fuzzball. But you didn't see us alone in the south passage. She expressed her true feelings for me." Rather than kiss a walking carpet, she kissed the next person that she could find. If Lando had been there or Wedge, it would've been one of them. Notice that she looks back at Han when Lando offers his arm and Han is slightly miffed. So if you were to go by ANH and TESB alone, without knowledge of ROTJ and ROTS, then you would conclude that apparently Leia was more interested in Han and that Luke didn't have a chance. Much less that any interest he had, fell by the wayside. Had ANH not been as successful, then SOTME would've been the next film after ANH and Han wouldn't have been in it. Thus Leia would not become Luke's sister. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	I just realized I screwed up the names. darth-sinister: It's all in good fun. In a universe where a Jedi gets knocked up by a guy who literally can't be older than 13 (Triple Zero), we're not allowed to make fun of the sexual foibles of our favorite characters?

	I didn't say that. I just said that when you realistically look at it, it didn't happen. You can poke fun like "Robot Chicken" and "Family Guy". Just that if someone wasn't looking at it in good fun, my previous post put it in perspective. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	I prefer to think Luke's virgin vibe is gone in the end of ANH because Wedge found some girl to 'initiate' him into Red Rogue Squadron. Or you can be like Matt Stover and point out the blatant sexual metaphor of the Death Star trench run. Unfortunately, neither is as parsimonious as Luke sleeping with Leia.
