Would Star Wars be even more popular today had Luke & Leia maintained their romantic relationship the entire time?

[supercutebutt]

I love you.

Luke and Leia shared some romantic moments prior to learning they were brother and sister. But was it really such a big deal? Did we overreact? Couldn't they just go on as lovers in whatever galaxy that was? Isn't aversion to incest an Earthly hang-up?

Yes. I believe so.

No. It would have been too creepy, regardless of the galaxy.

It would be fine UNLESS they entered the Milky Way galaxy in one of the films. We have stricter rules here.

WTF haha.. that is a crazy thought :D.. No thanks from me.
I also already think there is plenty of romance in the movies.. though, this would replace the one with Han.. and I think incest would be bad anywhere in the galaxy.. biologically incest is just not good for the gene pool.

[supercutebutt]

Well it might not be good for the Earthly gene pool but maybe it has advantages on other planets in our Universe.

well, the creatures look like normal carbon based life forms, so probably based on DNA as on Earth.. Don't see why it should be different at least :D

[supercutebutt]

That is a very Earthcentric view you have.

[Opinion Owner]

no, it is scientific

[Opinion Owner]

Though I know that is not working in a fantasy world like Star Wars :D.. but anyways, it was created by humans so they decided not to do the incest thing for a human audience.. nothing weird about that.

[supercutebutt]

A little weird maybe. I think that's why you are anonymous. But I can't blame you. Incestuous extra terrestrials could be reading this as we type.

[Opinion Owner]

or Earthly victims of incest read your opinion about it ;)..
And please, anonymous or not makes no difference, what is the difference from showing a pink profile and a peach regarding identity, and potential ETs watching? :D

[supercutebutt]

A HUGE difference!

[Opinion Owner]

ETs like peach? :D

[supercutebutt]

Probably. Did you know some look exactly like pumpkins?

[dustybiker]

It’s two actors. No biology. Lea was better matched her “brother”. I never saw sparks with her and Solo.

[Wester1967]

I remember 82 when she hooked up with Ham Yoyo. Came off as some cheap flex from Lucas back then. Frankly, it was all downhill after that. You could almost smell "The Last Jedi" in the drive in theater bathrooms on that awful night.

Incest was not best even a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[purplepoppy]

If it's good enough for Alabama then it's good enough for a galaxy far far away

Have you seen what the most popular porn is? I doubt people would care.

[DJB72]

The only place it would be popular if they'd kept it up is Pornhub...

[suekitten1153]

Because they're still brother and sister -- not many places in the world are down like that.

[supercutebutt]

You are forgetting something. They are not from our world.

[suekitten1153]

Yargh... I don't think that matters as I am sure genetics pervade the universe.

[AngelMegumin]

Well, promoting incest in one of the most successful fantasy worlds isn't the best idea tbh.

[supercutebutt]

Are you sure? After the incest episode, Star Wars dropped off in popularity.

[Guardian45]

We got ENOUGH of that in Game of Thrones!

[msc545]

No, incest is still a nono

[LegendaryIcon]

Incest?
