Mark Hamill finally answers the Star Wars question we've all been wondering about

For many, Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back is the best film of the franchise, and there are plenty of reasons why it deserves that distinction. However, one moment which has since gone down in infamy for all the wrong reasons is a kiss between Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

At the time it was perfectly innocent, and it only helped make the love triangle between Han, Leia and Luke more intriguing. However, in Return of the Jedi it was revealed that Luke and Leia are brother and sister, which makes the scene take on a whole new meaning. When he was asked by twitter user @skywalkersons about how Luke must have felt when he discovered the truth, Hamill gave an honest answer...

It's a big joke & everyone has a good laugh, but for Luke it was TRAUMATIC! Seriously, a life-altering experience. https://t.co/IKBBtV2omKFebruary 10, 2016

It's probably accurate that Luke would feel more than a little disturbed by the revelation, just like the rest of us. In fact, this pretty much sums up my reaction...

Directed by JJ Abrams and starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is playing in cinemas now.
