Mark Hamill Confirms Luke And Han Kissed In Star Wars Deleted Scene - IMDb. Star Wars fans thought they knew it all until a tweet went viral over the weekend revealing that Luke Skywalker and Han Solo almost shared a kiss. Yes, you read that right.
And that kiss wasn't for Luke, it was for Han. She used Luke as a prop to make a point to Han. He was merely a convenient pair of lips. So, by default, as shown on screen at least, Han was the first to kiss Leia.
Luke and Leia both lean forward to kiss and nearly do so before being interrupted by C-3PO. And with Han not even present in the scene until the very end of this version, there's no way to argue that the near kiss between later-retconned siblings Leia and Luke was simply meant to make him jealous.
While Return of the Jedi would ultimately reveal them to be siblings, A New Hope implied Luke's attraction to Leia throughout, while the two kissed multiple times in The Empire Strikes Back, with further romantic moments ending up on the cutting room floor, as seen in the movie's deleted scenes.
Over the course of the series, Luke recognizes in Mara an underdeveloped affinity for the Force; and although she initially resists Jedi training, she eventually becomes a Jedi Master. Luke and Mara develop a strong bond in Zahn's The Hand of Thrawn duology; he proposes marriage, and the two wed in Michael A.
Ever since Return of the Jedi, Star Wars has reframed Luke and Leia's kiss as lacking real romantic intent - something Leia did solely to get a rise out of her real love interest, Han Solo.
In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes, Leia did not admit she had romantic feelings for Han at first. However, after they were captured by the Empire, moments before Han became frozen in carbonite, Leia realized that she loved him and admitted her romantic feelings for him.
From their meet-cute in the original Star Wars movie to their first kiss in The Empire Strikes Back to their off-screen marriage, parenthood, and divorce before The Force Awakens, Han and Leia's decades-spanning relationship timeline traverses a rocky road.
Leia was initially unable to tell him, as she was still in shock to find out that Vader was her father and Han became jealous of Luke, but soon apologized and comforted her.
Luke and Leia never sensed that they were twins until Return of the Jedi despite both being sensitive to the Force. Anakin Skywalker's twin children are the original Star Wars trilogy's driving force, having been separated after Padme's death.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence. "Sister," the Emperor taunted.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
While in the Ewok village, Luke revealed his true lineage to Leia. She was shocked to discover they were brother and sister, though deep down, she always knew this to be true.
Many of the Expanded Universe stories take place after or in between the events of the movies, and follow the main characters as they grow and start families. Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin.
The Wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade took place in 19 ABY on Coruscant, shortly after the end of the Galactic Civil War. It consisted of two weddings: the first, a private ceremony held at Jedi Headquarters, was only open to members of the New Jedi Order.
Leia wanted to lead and reshape the galaxy, but wielding the same power that had corrupted Vader would be too big of a temptation because she would have become a powerful Jedi. So, it was safer to choose happiness, marry Han and avoid becoming a Jedi.
Not only was Leia incredibly strong-willed, but she also had the blood of the Chosen One coursing through her veins. This knowledge, paired with some more recent lore tidbits, suggests she was one of the most powerful Force-users to exist, perhaps even surpassing Luke.
Anakin Skywalker's birth mystery is solved - his mother, Shmi Skywalker, reveals that there was no father and she can't explain what happened. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force.
By the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Luke had accepted that Vader is his father, and his hatred toward his father had completely disappeared, transformed into love and hope, like his late mother, Padmé Amidala, Luke believed there was still good left in Anakin and that he could be redeemed.
