Funny, that's what I thought when the whole "I am your father, Luke" thing came
out. What a contrived, crummy plot twist. The worst part is that (to me) it
really feels like it was a notion that occurred to Lucas *after* Star Wars was

(AKA Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back).
Ditto for the "Luke & Leia are twins" thing. Double-ditto.
