10 Most Inappropriate Moments In Star Wars

9. Luke & Leia's Smooch - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Keeping it in the family with this next entry, because it's time to focus on a moment that quickly turned into one of the most gross and uncomfortable occurrences pumped into the galaxy far, far away before the Original Trilogy had reached its conclusion.

Highlighting the fact that George Lucas didn't quite have his Skywalker Saga as fully mapped out as he'd later suggest, eventually revealed siblings Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa share a number of smooches, with the most passionate coming in the wake of the former's Wampa scare on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.

And while clearly laced into Episode V as a way to get under Han Solo's skin, that still doesn't change the fact that these brief moments of ultimately confirmed incest make for a pretty uncomfortable watch whenever you opt to return to the OG Trilogy.

Had Lucas opted to stick to Leigh Brackett's first story treatment, then the emergence of Nellith Skywalker as Luke's sister could've helped take some of the inappropriateness away from these smooches. But the mind behind the Force had other ideas. And so, an awkward moment that Mark Hamill is still making fun of to this day was born.
