I believe that Lucas intended Luke and Leia to be twins from the beginning. Their name sounds good together and it starts with the same letter. That is usually how parents name their twins

Mano, yo se que la Biblia puede ser confusa en muchas ocasiones, pero como siempre digo, estoy seguro de que el mensaje que Dios nos queria dar era de amor, no de odio, ni de homofobia, ni de no tolerar nada, etc. Mira lo que dice el libro de Romanos 7:14-25.

“Porque sabemos que la ley es espiritual; mas yo soy carnal, vendido al pecado. Porque lo que hago, no lo entiendo; pues no hago lo que quiero, sino lo que aborrezco, eso hago. Y si lo que no quiero, esto hago, apruebo que la ley es buena. De manera que ya no soy yo quien hace aquello, sino el pecado que mora en mí. Y yo sé que en mí, esto es, en mi carne, no mora el bien; porque el querer el bien está en mí, pero no el hacerlo. Porque no hago el bien que quiero, sino el mal que no quiero, eso hago. Y si hago lo que no quiero, ya no lo hago yo, sino el pecado que mora en mí. Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo esta ley: que el mal está en mí. Porque según el hombre interior, me deleito en la ley de Dios; pero veo otra ley en mis miembros, que se rebela contra la ley de mi mente, y que me lleva cautivo a la ley del pecado que está en mis miembros. Miserable de mí! ¿quién me librará de este cuerpo de muerte? Gracias doy a Dios, por Jesucristo Señor nuestro. Así que, yo mismo con la mente sirvo a la ley de Dios, mas con la carne a la ley del pecado.

Lo que nos esta queriendo decir Pablo es que aunque no queramos pecar, siempre lo haremos! Por eso no importa lo que hagas, Dios te sigue amando. El ser humano, Biblicamente, nace bajo pecado! O sea que desde que nacemos, vivimos bajo el pecado, pero gracias a Jesus que murio por nuestros pecados, entonces practicamente no hay pecado, porque el ya murio por los que cometiste y por los que aun no has cometido. Como dicen esos versiculos, nuestra carne nos ata a este mundo, y por lo tanto al pecado. Entonces como somos salvos? Por la gracia, porque Jesus murio y gracias a El somos salvos todos por la gracia. Eso es lo que dice la Biblia, que muchos no predican, porque lo que predican es un evangelio de odio.

Mi amigo, no soy gay pero tengo familia, y les ha costado (ya que muchos en mi familia son cristianos) trabajo aceptar que Dios los ama tal y como son, pero al final se dan cuenta. Esa es una de las razones por la cual no voy a ninguna iglesia. Todas estan llenas de odio y apariencias.

Alberto: Sólo encuentro incomprensible que la “gente real” que presuntamente modela su vida a la de Jesús sea capaz de menos tolerancia y amor que los que simplemente dejan que su conciencia social guíe sus acciones, sin adscribirse a ninguna religión con preceptos moralistas. ¡Cosas veredes, Sancho!

Chimi: Ojalá algún día los que pequen por intolerancia y odio se percaten de su error… ¡pero no tengo muchas esperanzas de ello! Gracias por comentar.

Amigo Rafa:

Fui católico hasta el tuétano y casi, casi, me meto a cura. Y ahora te aseguro que nosotros, la gente real, los que existimos, te apreciamos y agradecemos el empeño que pones en esta causa.

Si un personaje ficticio no te quiere, pues has como yo, no lo quieras tú a él.

Brother and Sister or no, I would have preferred Luke and Leia to Han and Leia. Call me nasty but the whole bully-to-the-point-of-rape as a May:September advantaged ‘insight into female behavior’ is even creepier than GSA incest.
Frankly I never liked the Han Solo ‘impression’ (I have the Tall Dark And Dangerous jock body, I have the faster sporstcar, I have the cool lines, I get the girl, by preconditional default) of a romantic male lead.
As it seemed to make it rather obvious that Puke wasn’t Lucas at all but rather Ford (same body style, same hair color, same age range) as the ’secret hero’ George blatantly invested all his ego sating advantages into.
Obviously the car crash didn’t help Hamill’s destroyed-face chances but if Lucas truly cast himself as ‘The Hero’ does it make sense for him to emasculate said character in the way he did (whiney, short, blonde)?
The sadness for me is that I like the elegant and slow development of an angry-arrogant ‘poor farmboy meets pretty girl and gets his jaw dropped’ scenario where love becomes humility as she ‘learns more about him too’ when his true nature begins to show thru.
This also seems more natural, for the actor’s relative mental ages, than the Han Solo ‘already knows all there is to know about women, wink-wink’ version of romance as an act of sexual manipulation and exploitation bordering on predatorism.
Leia is the wild card here. Again, for a woman who is used to being in a room full of bought-looks Alpha males with well developed ‘conversational skills’ (dominance driven competitiveness), the notion that a sharp tongue is all that pleasing is ridiculous. She can debate all damn day with whoever she likes.
I also expect that, like most privileged class women, Leia is allowed or even expected to begin dancing the dance (trading companionship for advantaged association) rather early and would hardly be the sexual innocent that Lucas portrays her as. Again, if the thrill of being the kill is no longer there as an untried curiosity, a slower procession to the act might be a bit of a _genuine_ love relief.
At a practical level, if you are going to do incest as a theme, the one question you HAVE TO answer is the ‘what about their kids?’ outcome and frankly I would expect SWU tech to be vastly better at genetic pre-screening than what we have available.
Especially if they are able to modify specifi allele locii for things like submissive behavior, size enhancement and growth acceleration as they are with the Clone
Soldiers.
The aversion to brother:sister incest is a relatively recent one in many cultures, including those which specifically bred for ‘royal traits’ of intelligence and altruism and surprise, surprise, those historical nations didn’t end up with flighty idiots or epileptic bleeders in most (Egyptian and and Early Greek) cases.
What most don’t realize is that once you have identified the gene pattern groups you want to fix as traits, ‘pure breeding’ is the same for humans as for horses, you just cull the runts rather than let them breed back into the line.
Ashkenazi Jews have been practicing a form of this (Uncle to Niece) for about a 2,500 years and while they don’t slaughter their afflicted to keep genetic disease low (Tay Sachs and Rosaria among many other issues), they do have a mean IQ a full standard deviation about the rest of us in the range 112-113. With about 4 times the Bell Curve statistical distribution of other ethnies in the high gifted (120) and genius rated (160+) IQs as well.
Does it excuse Lucas introducing this theme to a child’s film? No. Absolutely not, it was a horrific mistake.
Does it merit the scorn you give it? Understand what you spurn before you judge it. Love is love and if it is given freely, with medical oversight after normal premarital screening, it should not be a forbidden fruit so much as an understood tragedy that is best left to the individual choices _so long as it doesn’t afflict the next generation_.

hey Rafa!! No te ensañes con Dios. El no tiene nada que ver con el egoismo y la bendita manía de los seres humanos de pasar juicio sobre la vida de los demás. Es increible que aun en el siglo 21 existan barreras en contra del amor. Sin embargo no hay nada que detenga la guerra, los abusos y el discrimen. Solo nos queda amar y realizarnos como personas de la mejor manera posible sin dañar a nadie. Yo estoy segura que mi Dios no está en contra del amor y que si pudieramos escucharlo gritaria muy fuerte que se acabe la violencia, la injusticia, el discrimen, el odio y la falta de tolerancia. Todos los fanáticos religiosos que no comprenden eso pecan peor que el pecado del cual acusan a los demas.

Let’s be happy and remember…Karma it’s a bitch, jajajaja!!!
