Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable? (www.theguardian.com)

The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

here, let's try this another way.

in ANH, Luke and Han vie for the attention of Princess Leia, setting up an interesting love triangle! Luke even gets a kiss! so according to you, Luke and Leah can't POSSIBLY be related, since incest is gross and illegal, and it would ruin the love triangle.

so when it is revealed that they ARE brother and sister, did George Lucas betray the vision of George Lucas that was CLEARLY set up in ANH and thus ruin Star Wars forever?!

no, of course not.

Replying again with a strawman argument isn't going to convince me. Sorry champ.

it's not a strawman. XD lol that's literally reality.

just because something is setup, doesn't mean one is beholden to it in the future.

If it's "literally reality", I'm sure you can point to where I said this:

so according to you, Luke and Leah can't POSSIBLY be related, since incest is gross and illegal, and it would ruin the love triangle.

I don't recall ever mentioning Luke or Leia's relationship.
