	Of COURSE Leia is the other!  As far as general spunkiness
goes, in ROTJ she gets to:

	1) Masquerade as a bounty hunter.

	2) Threaten Jabba and his court with a `thermal detonator'.

	3) Strangle Jabba with the chain that ties her to him (it?).

	4) Save Han and herself by shooting two Stormtroopers at
	   close range.

	5) Reply `I know.' when Han told her he loved her (my favorite
	   part of the movie).

As far as Luke never being told that Leia is the other - in ROTJ:

	1) Yoda, with his dying breath, tells Luke `there is another
	   Skywalker'.

	2) When asked about `the other', Obi-wan informs Luke that this
	   is his twin sister.

	3) Luke realizes that Leia is his twin.

	4) Obi-wan then tells Luke `your inside serves you well'.

As far as Leia displaying use of the force:

	1) She understands intuitively that Luke speaks the truth
	   when he tells her she is his sister.

	2) After the Death Star is exploded, she divines from the Force
	   that Luke is still alive.

Some people should watch these movies a little more closely.  Try seeing
it again now, when there are fewer screaming children, and more of the
dialogue will be understandable.
