10 Star Wars Moments That Are Incredibly Stupid

6. Luke And Leia Are Twins - Return Of The Jedi

You-know-luke-and-leia-27817111-1280-854 I grew up with all three original €œStar Wars€ movies already made. Luke and Leia being siblings is something I€™ve taken for granted since I first watched the movie, when I was too young to remember. But the fact is, there€™s nothing to suggest they€™re siblings in the first 2 films. Nothing at all. In fact, there€™s a lot to suggest they€™re emphatically not siblings. The €œbrother€ loophole was a way for Lucas to write himself out of the love triangle between Han, Luke, and Leia. It didn€™t make sense as part of the plot, and it wasn€™t consistent with the characters up until that point. It was just stupid. It was how he avoided dealing with the plot he€™d created.
