It was during the writing of Empire that Lucas decided to have Vader be Luke's father (although Leigh Brackett's draft explicitly didn't include that; Luke was to be trained on Dagobah by Yoda, Ben's ghost... *and* Anakin's ghost). The original plan during Empire *was* for Luke to have a sister (hence "No, there is another"), to be introduced in Jedi, but Lucas felt that introducing such a major character so late in the story would confuse the audience, so he just made Leia into Luke's sister instead.

2021-01-11 06:02:00 +0000 UTCIt’s one of those weird continuity issues. In Star Wars, they weren’t brother and sister. Then during the script writing session for Empire Lucas decided that they were brother and sister and that Darth was their father. Go figure.
