Totally random semantical rant

If I see one more person referring to the "incest" between Luke and Leia, my brain is going to explode.

They kissed. Once. I interpret it as Leia trying to make Han mad, but interpret it as you will, it's one kiss.

Incest is not siblings kissing. Shall I be more explict? Dictionary defintions of incest all include the phrase "sexual relations" or something of that sort. That's a long, long way from kissing. Now, imagine what you want happening off-screen, though I can't really see when they'd have the time or leisure for it while Luke's off to Dagobah and Leia's on the Falcon, but in any case, canon-wise, it's one kiss. Argh!

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot about the weirdos out there who get a kick out of incest-fic. :shudders: I need to cleanse my brain with a scrub-brush.

After a full week trapped inside the house with two sick kids, plus being sick myself, I am certifiably insane. Perhaps that makes me humorous; I don't know. I'm too busy being crazy.

(It's just the common cold, but it WILL NOT GO AWAY and Luke really, really, really needs to get back to school).

Definitely one of the most squirm-worthy parts of the triloy, I won't deny that. I'm simply tired of a rather extreme term being inaccurately attached to it. ;P Can't we just call it an "ew-moment" or something?
