Icky Sex in Star Wars (AKA Holy ****: The Thread) — Page 3

There’s also the fact that the storyline for the Sequel Trilogy involved Luke meeting & falling in love with his long-lost sister Nellith (culminating in a movie where their son goes evil, Mordred-style).

Nellith’s character arc was the inspiration for Mara Jade in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy. Zahn tipped the hat to her origins as Nellith by putting the Branstock tree from Wagner’s Die Walkure in Talon Karrde’s base in Heir to the Empire (which he mentions in the HttE annotated author’s notes).

Almost certainly yes.

The more pressing question is, was Leia a virgin when she had sex with Luke? Specify whether your answer is based on the August 1975 third draft, the March 1976 shooting script, or another source.

Well there is some strong evidence that, by that time, Luke was quite a player in Outer Rim and apparently he preferred it hairy.

Back on topic. Was Luke a virgin before he had sex with Leia?

Camie … There’s a reason why she calls him “wormie”.

Best post you’ve ever made. Only worthy on-topic post in this thread actually (sort of), in fact I think we should just retire the whole thing right here.

In the final film of the Sequel Trilogy as planned around 1980, Luke and Nellith Skywalker’s daughter, born of incest, fell in love either with another woman or a man of color (depending on whether Nellith’s backstory involved her joining a pirate gang or being recruited by the Sith).

This isn’t actually icky sex, except to racists who are obsessed with perpetuating their “bloodlines” and defending them from so-called “pollution”. A palate cleanser after the Wagnerian incest of the previous generation.

In outlines where Luke & Leia were half-siblings committing incest, their daughter Kira was an albino – an idea inspired by Jim Henson’s 1981 The Dark Crystal, with further influence from TH White’s Mordred in The Once and Future King.

In this case the villain of the sequel film (originally just one, as George Lucas confessed in a 1980 conversation recorded in The Making of ESB) would be Kira’s twin brother. However, if Luke & Leia weren’t related, the villain would be Leia’s secret son, fathered when she was raped during her time in Imperial captivity in the OT. The idea would be that Leia carried the child to term but put the baby out for adoption, all off-screen between films.

This villain would have been one of Luke’s Jedi students, but would turn evil after learning of his true parentage: a variation on the moral issues Luke faced after learning of Vader’s identity in ESB.

Speaking of the standalone sequel Episode VII movie, in that storyline the main male protagonist loses a leg in a duel with the Dark Lord at the film’s end. However, he survives and wins with the help of his girlfriend, Kira Starkiller/ Skywalker.

This is alluded to in Marvel’s recent Darth Vader comics, where Vader’s suit is injured in three areas: the eye of his helmet, his left arm, and his left leg.

The broken eyepiece reveals the eye of Anakin Skywalker, but his suit’s left arm being torn off is a reference to Luke losing his left arm at the elbow in early drafts of The Empire Strikes Back. (To make sure we get the reference, Vader retains his glove, but it has a hole on the back, where Luke gets shot in the hand in ROTJ.)

And the left leg being lost entirely, droid limb and all, is a reference to this alternate Episode VII. (The comic has a few other cerebral in-jokes as well, such as a planet Vader visits having a mountain called “Passvaal”, as in “Parsifal”, and shaped like the Mount of Purgatory from the Divine Comedy.)

I mention this here because according to George Lucas, limb injuries are sublimated castration scenes. You’re welcome.

Google Ewok Cake if you’re that curious. The cake will have text on it.
