Mark Hamill Says Luke Was Traumatized After Learning He Kissed His Sister
In The Empire Strikes Back, we saw Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia share a seemingly innocent kiss that made the love triangle between Han, Luke, and Leia a little more intriguing. When we learned in Return of the Jedi that they were actually brother and sister, that whole kissing scene took on a whole new meaning and it has been joked about ever since.
I don’t care what anyone says, but to this day I believe that George Lucas didn’t know he was going to make Luke and Leia brother and sister until he was developing Return of the Jedi. In a recent Twitter post, Mark Hamill was asked by a fan how he thinks Luke must have felt when he learned the truth, and this was his response:
“It's a big joke & everyone has a good laugh, but for Luke it was TRAUMATIC! Seriously, a life-altering experience.”
I don’t know how Luke could have not felt weird and a little messed up after that. She gave him a pretty hefty kiss! Here’s a fun video I found to accompany this post.
