I'm actually going to defend this point an say that it's in line with Lucas's general MO of one giant homage to pulp fiction. Certainly sounds like something that would come out of 1930's-era serials to me.

Since when are Richard Wagner operas "pulp fiction"? :P

Really, I'm pretty sure that the whole Luke/Leia sibling thing came from Wagner's Ring Cycle. Luke's surname is an epithet used for the Norse god Loki, and Leia's first name comes from the libretto of Götterdämmerung.
