LOL. I'm not suggesting it be fixed in ANY film. I still view her statement as alluding more to a FEELING of just being overly close with Luke than an actual knowledge that they were siblings. The way she delivers the line actually indicates that it's hindsight as well. Leia is in no way being painted as sexually weird. The whole Luke and Leia sibling thing was just bad writing, to be sure. A better alternative would have been to leave it vague and let Luke go off in search of his sister at the end of ROTJ.....but Lucas wanted a clear-cut ending to the trilogy so he wouldn't have to make any more of them. It was pure laziness to wrap things up in a tight little package the way he did......but it still works. Leia isn't some weird incestual freak.....she simply looks back through time and realizes that she's always FELT like a sister to Luke.......she's just now (in ROTJ) gotten word that they actually ARE. She had never met him until ANH. Where would she have gotten knowledge that they were related? She didn't.....it was just a strange feeling she had. You ever bump into someone on the street and assume that they were a long lost sibling you never knew you had? No, of course not.....neither did she.
