It is significant that Princess Leia is discovered to be Luke’s twin sister, also the daughter of Darth Vader. The symbolism of Luke and Leia being twins suggests a more powerful union. Even those two, now re-united become much more powerful than either was alone and without the energy of their twinship.
This place of integration becomes the source of Luke and Leia’s power. For Luke, Leia, and other more fully integrated Jedi Knights, they see and understand the past, present and future, know their truth, mission and take action. They are not dependent humans under the mind control of some “wizard behind a curtain.”
They do not project their power onto some narcissistic demigod. I wonder if the USA would have invaded Iraq if many of us had not given over our power to a select few politicians to wage the first aggressive war in American history...but back to Luke and Leia...They have a powerful, mystical ability to "see, hear and know" truth. They work independently and inter-dependently to fight for their belief in freedom.
Luke and Leia meet, the chemistry of their meeting is a foreboding of their substantially increased power as they join forces in the defense of the empire.
Like the mythology of twins throughout history, the joining together of Luke and Leia creates a tremendous power.Together they are a formidable and perhaps, indestructible team fighting on the side of goodness in the world.
