Second biggest was the mention of Luke and the Princess being twins at one point in the development. Now obviously, it's not a direct line concept to Return of the Jedi's revelation. It's just another developmental element that was in his notebooks that reappeared when he needed a story point. There's plenty of cites in the book that he never actually planned them to be siblings in the final concept as he originally wanted Luke and Leia to end up together and Han to go away. It just never worked in the eventual storyline of Luke becoming a Jedi so Han got the girl.

Hold on, Luke becoming a Jedi meant he couldn't "get the girl"? So Lucas had the celibacy thing as a definite back then?

 

Also, can anybody tell me the gist of what the book reveals about the contents of the Journal of the Whills? Basically how do Lucas's claims of having the prequels story in the journal hold up against what the book says?

(Just to make sure I'm getting things right here, the journal Lucas was suposed to have had the story of everything including the prequels in since way back, written during the writing of the first film = The Journal of the Whills?)
