So Vader was never actually on the planet? Who turned Grammel into bookends then?
He was on the planet. He just never fought Luke and Leia in the Temple.
That still leaves Luke and Leia acting in ways siblings ought not to, (thanks George!) and a crazy old lady who may or may not be a Jedi, running off with a Force controlling gem. You'd think Luke would want to keep both around...
As I've mentioned before elsewhere, the romantic tension between Luke and Leia doesn't bother me, as I don't feel as negatively towards incest as most others do (frankly, if two relatives actually love each other and there's no prior history of sexual abuse or coercion between them, I'm happy for them).
As for the rest, well, I accept the EU explanation that the Kaiburr Crystal loses its power the farther from the Temple it gets.
