Luke and Leia were never intended to be brother and sister. So says Gary Kurtz in an interview in 2002.

That makes things confusing though

1.) Why could Luke talk to Leia with the force

2.) Who is the "another" Yoda talked about.

I agree that those two things make it very convenient for Leia to have strength with the force. However, they don't imply anything about them being siblings. Originally the force was presented in a way where it was based upon destiny and attitude, not genetics. That's why most fans find midiclorians to be so offensive.

I actually hate how small George made the Star Wars universe. The father revelation is fantasic, but the sister revelation and onward were worthless and clearly written for no other reason than to pander our earlier enjoyment.
