- I'm not so sure about that. When I watch From STAR WARS to JEDI I always
- understand that Lucas is saying that he needed something to tick Luke
- off so he had Vader mention Leia. I didn't think that Lucas AT THAT POINT
- came up with the idea. The way I understood it was that Leia was already
- written in to be the "other" and when it came to the Saber duel, it
- just fit in as a good way to send Luke over the edge.
- Personally, I think that the idea was there all along, maybe not in its
- entirety but definitely as an image.
