I thought about ROTJ alot and how I would make substantial plot changes to it. One of the main things I thought was to get rid of the whole Luke/Leia thing. Then I thought why not just get rid of a sibling plot twist all together. WHy cant Vader or Ainiken be the other that Yoda speaks of? It would be more compelling to the whole redemption story. Also, it would demonstrate the mastery of the force of Yoda. It would also make Luke's mission not to destroy Vader, but to turn him good..

Dig it, Dude. Of course that would lend credence to the whole "balance of the force" thing, which is a PT contribution.

This is part of a post of mine in the ROTJ subforum.

Many complain about Luke and Leia being brother/sister. Well, what if they were instead in a romantic relationship. This robs from the ending of the film. My reaction to my father threatening to turn my girlfriend to the darkside is what the Hell is your problem dad! Bear in mind that Luke's father was never there for him, but Luke ideolizes him. By the end of ESB Vader has personally set about wrecking Luke's life and causing him both physical and mental damage in both the films and in the EU. Vader then reveals to Luke that he is his father. What a mental blow that must have been. That said, my reaction reaction to my father threatening to turn my sibling (and I have a younger brother) is:
I'm Going To Fucking Kill You!
It is my belief that is having it differently would lessen the impact considerably. "Blood runs thicker than water"

What about having Vader not be Lukes father. Well, which would have a greater impact on your life? Redeeming your father's betrayer and murderer, or redeeming your father? That aside, I have always felt the undertones of something not being entirely true in Obi-Wan's explanation in A New Hope. To me it doesn't sound like he was telling the whole story. You may notice that there is a long pause before Kenobi gives Luke his answer. He explained about the force and the jedi with reletive ease and right away. Then Luke asks about what happened to his father. Obi-wan just sits there for a little bit, then talks. Yes, I had seen all three (original) films at once, but I saw them in order. I thought that then, and had no previous knowledge of the outcome.
