ChainsawAsh, it wouldnt make sense "then perhaps she will" since Leia shouldnt be force sesitive...

Goddammit, I hate this idea.  The great thing about the Force in Star Wars was that it felt like anyone could be a Jedi if they had the right amount of dedication, while some people were just "gifted" and already had a great deal of sensitivity to the Force without any training (like Anakin should have, going by Obi-Wan's comments in Star Wars).  The idea that your parents had to be "Force-sensitive" for you to have any chance at being a Jedi ... ugh, it just makes me think of midi-chlorians all over again.

I am no means an expert. So I will first source my information, as the work of Micheal Kaminski in his 600 page book "The secret history of Star Wars". A must read for every SW fan in my opinion.

You might be interested to know that Mr. Kaminski has been a member here for a very long time, going by the screen name of zombie84.  And his book is absolutely brilliant.

trouble with the MPAA (Steven Speilburg wanted to direct ROTJ but the MPAA wouldn't let him)

It was actually the Director's Guild of America.  Since he refused to put Irvin Kershner, a DGA member, in the opening credits of ESB, even though Kershner didn't care, the DGA wanted to fine them a shit-ton of money and IIRC kick Kershner out of the DGA.  To protect his director, Lucas himself accepted the fine and quit the DGA.

This had the unforunate drawback of preventing him from ever hiring a Guild director again - and Spielberg was (and still is) a member of the DGA.  So he hired UK director Richard Marquand instead.
