Haha.

Seriously, is that just Mark and Carrie goofing around, or was it a proposed scene, or what?

I'm not sure, but on the Editdroid bonus disc 3, the 1979 teaser trailer #2 shows a different scene of them going for a smooch. It looks to be during the scene where she kisses him in front of Han and Chewie while he's recovering, but it's a totally different shot, as they are gazing longingly into each other's eyes as they move for the kiss. It freaked my girlfriend out when I showed her the trailer a while back. Kind of makes me wonder where Lucas was going with that idea.

By GL's own admission in the vintage "From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga", he wasn't sure about making Leia Luke's sister until he was writing the Luke/Vader duel in ROTJ. Then he went back into the script and added Obi-Wan explaining the truth to Luke.

"But what about Leia sensing Luke at the end of TESB?" That was Luke using the Force to call TO her, she wasn't actively trying to connect with him. If the sister idea never happened, it could always be explained away as Leia having latent Force sensitivity that Luke brought out in her through that first experience.
