LUCAS: I haven't read any of the novels. That's a different world than my world. I do try to keep it consistent. I have a Star Wars encyclopedia on my shelf and when I come up with a name or something, I have to look it up to make sure it hasn't already been used.
So, I guess anything can happen in the novels. Like this scenario I just thought of:
Bail gets word of the Death star a day after Leia. So he goes to Tatooine(presumably to tell Ben that it's time to get Luke into training) finds Obiwan's hut abanded and, Owen and, Beru dead. So, he goes back to Alderaan only to see it distroyed. The tie fighter goes to investigate his ship. He uses the last of his hyperspace fuel to get someplace else. He ends up on Endor and, because he's wearing some gold coat the ewoks think of him as a god. After the celebration at the end of Jedi Luke and, Leia got an infection from somewhere along thier journey. So, they go to an Ewok medical center Bail comes in to get something he left there; see's Leia and, has a happy reunion. She asks the obvious "Why didn't you tell me I had a brother?" He replies "You don't. Why are you asking me this?" To which Luke replies "Ben Kenobi told me that Leia was my sister. Well, I sensed it but, he didn't deny it." Bail replies "Luke you had a sister but, she contracted a disease a month after being brought to our house. That's when I found out [insert name of Bail's wife here] was pregnant with Leia. I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you two this. I never told Kenobi becuase, it would be too risky."
