	I'm not sure what all the fuss is about over Luke and Leia's
parentage.  My understanding of what was said in RotJ and in the book of
RotJ was that Luke and Leia are twins.  They have the same mother and their
father is Vader.  Vader left their mother before he knew that she was
pregnant and so never knew that he had any children (seems that I've heard
that one before...  maybe ST II??).  Luke and Leia's mother died shortly
after childbirth and Ben Kenobi then took Luke to live with his Uncle
and Aunt on Tatooine (sp?)  and took Leia to be raised by the Royal Family
of Alderan.  So she is a real princess since neither she nor anyone outside
her immediate "family" knew she was adopted.

	I hope that this clears up the mess.
