Topic	It is out of Luke's character to (Star Wars Spoilers)
ParanoidObsessive 06/26/18 7:33:32 AM #23:	Metalsonic66 posted... The real answer is that no one got Luke's jollies going the way that Leia did. Ironically, that actually makes sense in real world terms. It's pretty well established that humans tend to be strongly attracted to people who are similar to them on a genetic level, and it's only the Westermarck Effect that deters incest. But Luke and Leia were raised entirely apart, which means the Westermarck Effect wouldn't apply to them. Not that Lucas intended that, though. It's more just that he was making everything up as he went along and didn't always think about the ramifications, because he couldn't be bothered to care about what happened in previous movies (see also, part of what made the prequels terrible). WaffIeElite posted... MrMelodramatic posted... EU isnt canon so it is out of character Anything EU is more canon than Force Awakens / Last Jedi. Those two just didn't happen. By definition this is literally untrue. But regardless, most of the EU was raw fecal matter, so no matter what you think of those two movies, they're still objectively better than about 99% of the EU. ~~And hell, the movies basically adapt one of the three good ideas the EU ever came up with anyway, since Kylo is pretty blatantly Jacen Solo, and Rey is sort of filling the place of a stand-in Jaina.~~ --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:903982285] in It is out ...
