10 Star Wars Scenes Everyone Wishes They Could Unsee
6. That Incestuous Kiss - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Heading back to entirely icky kiss territory now, and to a smooch that seemed innocent enough for a time before eventually leaving the series as a whole with one of its most glaring stains.
After laying a seemingly innocuous smacker on Luke Skywalker's cheek during their attempts to flee the Death Star in A New Hope, Leia Organa doubles down on her fondness for planting her lips on the Jedi-in-training in The Empire Strikes Back's opening stages.
And while this was clearly little more than a way of stirring up some jealousy within an onlooking Han Solo at the time, the eventual revelation of Leia being very much Luke's long lost sister left most fans sharing a similar look as the one sported by the smuggler.
With George Lucas very much making it up as he went along, despite what the creator would have you think, it's most likely the initial plan wasn't to have Leia eventually be revealed as the highly-anticipated "Other" referenced by Yoda in Episode V. And even if it was, that would mean Lucas was absolutely fine with showcasing a few bites of incest in the lead-up to the reveal... which makes the entire scenario even more uncomfortable.
