When do luke and leia find out

The fact that Luke and Leia are brother and sister is one of the major revelations of the original Star Wars trilogy. Two kisses for Luke — one for luck after they cross over the ravine trench by rope, and one when Luke returns from have efficiently blown up the Dying Star. The third is once more for luck earlier than he leaves to assault the Dying Star. Vader did not sense the force in Leia because at that time she had no awareness of it herself.

She had no training in the force. She had never used it. The estranged siblings didn't know about their familial relationship until "Return of the Jedi. That kiss has been the subject of much discussion and has elicited more than a few "Ick! You kissed your sister! Actor Mark Hamill weighed in on Twitter to share his thoughts on how Luke felt about the revelation of having smooched his twin. Here's Hamill's response from Wednesday:. Seriously, a life-altering experience.

To celebrate the year anniversary of Revenge of the Sith May 19 and the year anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back May 21 , we're talking about our favorite sci-fi franchise for nine days straight. Following the Wampa attack during the movie's opening scenes on Hoth; Leia, Han, and Chewie visit Luke in the infirmary. Presumably, the scene was simply meant to make Han jealous.

Still, Luke looked very thrilled by this unexpected turn of events and Leia seemed to consider both men romantically, though the sexual tension with Han was admittedly much more palpable. It probablydidn't hurt that they were hooking up offscreen. Early drafts included a lot more declarations of love — In retrospect, the kiss was incestuous and more than a little misguided considering the reveal in Return of the Jedi.

However, Leigh Brackett credited with writing the first draft of Empire Strikes Back included a lot more romance between the pair, and it's the first clue that their relationship was never meant to be connected by blood. A revised version of the draft also included a scene where Luke declares his love for Leia and he goes in for a kiss, but is interrupted by Han.

The scene showed Luke having learned about Han's passing from Rey: he sits in his hut alone with tears in his eyes. The scene then shifts to one of Leia in a similar pose, also grieving for the passing of Han.

The novel Bloodline revealed a lot of details about Leia, but also some relevant information about Luke, too. By the time the novel takes place, slightly before The Force Awakens , Luke and Leia both know about their birth mother, Padme Amidala.

Leia knew she was adopted in the novel Leia, Princess of Alderaan, which focuses on Leia's life before she joined the Rebellion, so it makes sense that she would eventually learn the truth of her real mother and share that information with her brother. Bloodline reveals that Leia found inspiration in her mother. Part of the reason that Leia chose a career in politics, rather than become a Jedi, was because of her mother's work in the Senate.

Bloodline also reveals that no one outside of Luke and Leia's small circle of friends knew who their birth father was. Having Darth Vader for a father certainly could do damage to their reputation, especially since they had become the heroes of the galaxy and had helped save their world from the evil Empire, under Vader's leadership. This was a secret that the twins held very dearly, but in the novel Bloodline , that secret gets out. A Senator comes across the truth about Luke and Leia's parentage and makes it public.

This puts Leia at a disadvantage in the Senate and destroys her reputation, in spite of her previous work to save the galaxy. Before the Resistance set up their headquarters on Crait, Luke and Leia had traveled there to check out the planet as a potential post for the Resistance. Crait was once a Rebel outpost, mentioned in previous Star Wars novels, with white sands and red soil.

That Rebel outpost was initially set up by Leia's adoptive father, Bail Organa. Although the Star Wars franchise has already seen the loss of two major characters, Han and Luke, the original plan for all three characters was to keep them alive until Episode 9. Lucas' initial plan for the Star Wars franchise was to have Luke pass away at the end of Episode 9. Granted, the general consensus is that the Skywalker story will come to an end with Episode 9 , which goes along with Lucas' original plans.

Although the novels and newer movies have shown that Leia has a sensitivity to the Force, that wasn't always the case with the original trilogy. There is one scene that showed that Leia was as sensitive to the Force as her brother. In Return of the Jedi , Luke asks Leia about their real mother and if she remembered her. Leia responds in the affirmative, mentioning that her mother passed when she was very young. Although many thought she was referring to her adoptive mother, that is likely not the case.

Instead, Leia referred to Padme Amidala, her birth mother. This means that Leia knew that she was adopted, a detail later confirmed in the novel Bloodline.

One of the most controversial scenes from The Last Jedi is when Leia ends up blasted out to space, and she's floating out there unconscious, but somehow uses the Force to bring herself back to her ship.

Many fans argued that Leia could not do this and that she didn't know how to use the Force in a way that would make this possible. Looking at all the material that Disney considers as canon, that scene was just additional proof that Leia knew how to use the Force.

Fans can continue to argue about that scene being unrealistic, but given all the evidence to the contrary, it's as believable as anything Luke ever did with the Force.
