I just was wandering through the Internets and I discovered this gem @

LUKE SKYWALKER
Here’s news that will drive the fan fiction world insane with glee: In early versions of the screenplay for the original Star Wars, Luke Skywalker was written as a girl named Starkiller. Oh yes.
"This was not an idea that lasted very long, along with casting the entire team of good guys with little people, Han Solo as a man-sized lizard, and making Yoda a giant. (The surname Starkiller lasted until Fox execs decided they didn’t like it, but lives on most famously in apprentice Starkiller of Force Unleashed) According to the book Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays, Luke was a girl. While there’s nothing in the review of the book about why this was changed, we’re sure there is slash about somewhere.
