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.
