[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7690527, member: 85555"] Personally I don't find that a satisfactory explanation. I understand that genetic sexual attraction is a thing and that bit within the film, you could say they don't know they are brother and sister so that is why it happened. But it seems like a strong indication that Lucas didn't initially intend them to be brother and sister. I really doubt he was making a case for genetic sexual attraction with that moment. There are two possibilities here: he knew they were siblings when they kissed (which seems a very unusual choice for a film like star wars) or he didn't know (which to me makes a lot more sense). I suppose he also could have been undecided on the matter, but even then, having that kiss scene there...people can explain it, to me it really seems like he was intending a love triangle and went another direction when he did Jedi (in the end a better direction and one that worked brilliantly, but still not the initial direction). My point isn't that this harms the film (it is a soap opera in space for crying out loud), I'm just making the point that it isn't like the Star Wars films have always been airtight and devoid of inconsistency. Lots of things were hand waved in the original trilogy and lots of events that were convenient to the plot took place (though many of them could indeed be explained as brought about by the Force).
