Author	Topic: How would Luke have known that Leia was his sister?

	As stated earlier, it was the force, the force grants great intuition. Remember that when Luke told Leia, even she said that she somehow always knew that she was his sister. And Leia had not even been trained in the ways of the force yet. -----signature----- " Your eyes can deceive you, do not trust them." - Obi Wan Kenobi

	If she 'always knew' what was she doing smooching him on Hoth? And who knows what else they did while Han was carbonated.

	The force told him. After he opened the thoughts that he had a sister, it kinda bit him in the ***. Also, who else would it be. He couldn't exactly say "Oh my sister was that girl I threw worms at in Kindergarden but never actually spoke to. IT WAS HER!" and it couldn't exactly be Mon Mothma, either. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

	Line of inquiry using Bespin. When Luke calls out to Leia in ESB, he has no special reason other than desperation, a possible knowledge that Fett's carbonite box was carrying Han Solo, certain knowledge that Obi-Wan has communicated with him through the force before and would answer him if possible, uncertain knowledge Chewbacca or Lando would hear, reasonable confidence the droids would not hear, and the one person left had already resisted mind probes. After Leia DID respond, Luke could logically conclude that he had at least reached out through the Force and contacted her. That alone would not be enough to make him quite certain she was a force-user, nor enough to argue that she was related. But combining 1) the Jedi were wiped out (ANH) with 2) another person who can use the Force or at least listen quite well through the Force (ESB Bespin) with 3) 'the Force runs strong in his family' (ROTJ Yoda) with 4) 'there is another Skywalker' (ROTJ Yoda) allowed an hypothesis, at least, that the one other peer in age, who had interacted with him through the Force (Leia) might be a red-neck. I mean, his sister.

	Perhaps, Obi-Wan shed some light on it when he spoke and Luke was then able to know through the Force. -----signature----- Isaiah 41:13

	Maybe he noticed their astounding resemblance?

	I like how Leland Chee described SOTME as "Luke and Leia get…affectionate. It's very wrong." Seriously.

	When Leia says that she's always known, she's refering to the fact that there was something about Luke that prevented her from pursuing him as she did Han. There was some instinct that drew her close to Luke, but prevented her from going beyond that. Likewise, Luke has felt the same way since meeting Leia, which is why he didn't do anything more than say what he said on Tatooine. But in the end, they know because they are twins and because of the Force. BEN: "Your insight serves you well."

	It could be that Anakin wouldn't even know wannabe Jedi existed. Think about how people assume all hippies are vegetarians. Anakin could've been thinking in stereotype.

	When Leia says that she's always known, she's refering to the fact that there was something about Luke that prevented her from pursuing him as she did Han. Hmm, I dont know about that. It seemed to me all thru ANH and up to Hoth in ESB, Luke was the center of Leia's romantic intentions. The Force probably has a sick sense of humor, heh. -----signature----- Winner CT Trivia Challenge 44, 54 Winner PT Trivia Challenge 10 , 13, 14, 17 Joint-Winner CT Challenge 49 and 50, PT Challange 18

	The Force probably has a sick sense of humor, heh. Or a sick fetish. I mean, we already know it likes to knock up human girls, producing Sith Lords who will ultimately destroy the Sith but only after destroying the Jedi.

	I'm sure Luke's feelings for Leia went beyond ANH. He was looking quite pleased with himself when Leia kissed him on Hoth. Though Leia seemed to kiss him in the first place just to get to Han. She might have had an instinct that prevented her from getting too close to Luke, but I don't think Luke did. His Jedi training seemed to be what eventually took over the majority of his focus, but I still think he was attracted to Leia up until the discovery that she was his sister.
