When did Lucas decide Leia was Luke's Sister?

This is from an early draft of "Revenge of the Jedi."

Personally I think Lucas had ideas about it during Empire, otherwise the "Leia...HEAR me..." part is totally random.


YODA
If that is the way you feel?then I must turn to another for help.

LUKE
Another? Who?

YODA
The Force runs strong in the Skywalker line. If you will not destroy your father, there is only one other left who can?your sister.

LUKE
Sister!!! I don?t have a sister.

YODA
Strong with the Force is she; but untrained.

LUKE
My sister?

YODA
Taken to Alderaan by your mother, was she. Safer it was to keep you apart.

LUKE
Leia?!?

YODA
Your twin sister? If you fail to destroy your father, our only hope is she.

 

With tongue? Geez. I dislike watching characters kiss onscreen or in real life for that matter, so I never really pay that much attention during kiss scenes in general. I can't believe there's tongue in that kiss. But now the one in ANH is just a peck. I know that for sure.

Again I don't think he deliberately put incest in the films either. If Lucas was so concerned over the idea of audiences thinking incest, then I doubt he would have decided to solidify the idea of Luke and Leia being siblings in the first place. It doesn't appear to be that big of deal.

 

sorry its alittle of the topic but can anyone tell me where to get these "early drafts" of the scripts

 

There's a number of places to get a variety. Here's some of my favorites:

Welcome to the Internet Star Wars Files Archive!

Star Wars Obscurities, v.2

Ben & Grover's STAR WARS Universe

STARKILLER-The Jedi Bendu Script Site

and even Red 6 has some if you hunt around (it's a frames site, so I couldn't just point you there. Besides, half of the fun is in the search ).

For cut scenes, add T'bone to the list.

There's a lot of overlap, tho'. If anyone else knows of good sites, could you post them?

 

WOW! O_B_S, thanks for the links!!!
Hilarious!
General Luke Skywalker as the old, experienced Jedi. Annikin Starkiller as the young padawan, saying Chewbacca: Rise my friend . Jommillia as the queen of Wookees! LOL! Owen Lars anthropologist. Amazing, all the names and locations completely messed up

 

thank you muchly
