10 Biggest WTF Star Wars Moments

1. Somehow Leia Always Knew... What?! - Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi

Over the course of the first two Original Trilogy Episodes, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo both appeared to be acting as two potential loves for Leia Organa, with the Princess sharing a smooch with the two leading lads at various points in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.

But in a rather uncomfortable swerve that just about no-one expected to become a Star Wars reality back in 1983, Leia was ultimately revealed to have been Luke's twin sister the entire time! And making matters that little more icky, Leia then responded to this apparent surprise revelation with the words of "Somehow I've always known" in Return of the Jedi.

That's right, when locking lips with the Jedi-in-training on Hoth and also laying a smacker on his cheek when trying to escape the Death Star, Leia apparently had a feeling that the person she was getting particularly close to was her twin bro all along.

Admittedly, the familial twist itself clearly wasn't a part of the OG Trilogy plan from the get-go. But that still didn't change the fact that its eventual execution provided the galaxy far, far away with a shocking piece of dialogue that only grows increasingly more awkward with each subsequent viewing.
