Society has always had role models and Icons. In the 1970ties possibly the most admired twins with a role model image was Richard and Karen Carpenter.

When ever I see Star Wars the original trilogy I cannot other than believe that the script writer and or producer must have modelled Leia and Luke Skywalker on the image of Karen and Richard Carpenter.'

Is there anywhere in the Star Wars lore any hint or indication of this or is this all in my mind only?

Info anyone?

I got no responses but quite a few viewers, I resurface this issue as I am really curiuous from a sociological (I think) perspective - how trends and attitudes cross fertilize.

Can anyone think of where I can do research on this? - Maybe a mindscan of the script writer's brain - he may not realize himself the above connection until I ask him. Anyone has Lukas' email address? The worst thing that may happen is that he does not answer and that does not hurt
