Fun facts also worth mentioning: Han Solo happens to be 10 years older than twins Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa.
Han's official year of birth is “ca. 32 BBY.” So anywhere from ten to thirteen years older than Leia, with it being somewhat logical that he wouldn't know exactly how old he was as he was a street kid and presumably an orphan.
Their age gap is pretty shady
When Han and Leia meet during her botched rescue in Star Wars: A New Hope, the fierce princess is only 19 and the jaded smuggler is 29. Respectively, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were 19 and 33 at the time.
Leia at 10 years old is fearless, stubborn and wise beyond her years. It's easy to see how this child will grow into the leader “Star Wars” fans have long known. And as Obi-Wan spends time with young Leia, he can't help but note how much she reminds him of her parents.
Leia's journey yields a time dilation of 62.6 days; however Luke experiences a time dilation of 700.8 days (1.92 years). The students concluded that Luke is therefore 1.75 years younger than Leia, possibly rendering them the first twins ever to have over a year between their ages.

Following the Wampa attack during the movie's opening scenes on Hoth; Leia, Han, and Chewie visit Luke in the infirmary. Leia is annoyed with Han, who insists she has feelings for him, so she kisses Luke to prove she doesn't. Presumably, the scene was simply meant to make Han jealous.
However, Leia's strong-mindedness during Vader's probe denied him the opportunity to discover she was his daughter. That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.
Darth Vader only learned he had a daughter in Return of the Jedi - but there's no evidence he realized she was Leia before his death and redemption.
When you put this new context together with Star Wars: A New Hope, everything that Obi-Wan Kenobi has done for Leia, her family, and the galaxy is quite phenomenal. For Leia to name her son Ben Solo is the greatest honor, with Obi-Wan's memory able to live on in someone she loves.
In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Leia commands a Rebel base and evades Vader as she falls in love with the smuggler Han Solo.
If Han is 18 in Solo and Anakin is 12, that puts six years between the pair. Let's say that Anakin is about 19 when Luke and Leia are born, which would make Han 25 at the time of the twins' birth. By the time everyone meets in A New Hope, when Luke and Leia are around 18 years old, Han would be 43.
By the end of Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Leia professes her love for Han, telling him “I love you. Han — just before being frozen in carbonite — smoothly replies, “I know,” — sealing their love for one another permanently.
Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin.
Those 5 years have been the difference between night and day between the two for a long time. Because Leia was 18 at the time, whereas anakin was 9. The problem is not so much the age difference, it's that 5 years between a 9 and 14 is a much bigger deal than between a 19 and 24 year old.
According to many sources, Kylo Ren is about 29 or 30 while Rey is 19. Rey was born eleven years after the Battle of Endor. Kylo Ren was probably conceived right after the Battle of Endor, by Han and Leia. This explains the age difference.
Reva knows that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader because she was one of his targets—a child—during the Order 66 killings that took place during the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Vader learned that Leia was his daughter by sensing it from Luke in Return of the Jedi.
Leia Organa-Skywalker
Leia Amidala Skywalker (portrayed by Carrie Fisher) is the wife of Han Solo, the mother of Ben Solo, the younger twin sister of Luke Skywalker, the daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, and the granddaughter of Shmi Skywalker, raised by Bail and Breha Organa of Alderaan.
It's well known that Star Wars lead characters Luke Skywalker and Princess (now General) Leia are brother and sister. The estranged siblings didn't know about their familial relationship until "Return of the Jedi." They even shared a passionate kiss in the previous movie, "The Empire Strikes Back."
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
While their affection had to remain hidden, the two kept in frequent contact, even throughout the Clone Wars. But despite this, Anakin found out that Padme was pregnant only a couple of weeks before the twins were born. So, why did it take so long for her to tell him?
After Leia and Luke's lips lock in Lannister love, our wookie friend vocalizes what seems to be his approval. However in hindsight, Chewie was more than likely saying “Your species' obsession with sibling mating is a curious one, I've seen your browser histories”.
Mara Jade Skywalker is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She appears in the now non-canon Legends series as the wife of Luke Skywalker and mother of Ben Skywalker. She has been voiced by Heidi Shannon, Edie Mirman and Kath Soucie in various Star Wars video games.
No, she didn't consciously know this - i.e. she wasn't aware of it. Leia meant that the connection she always felt towards Luke now made sense - the one that she originally misinterpreted as sexual love, but realised was (appropriately enough), sisterly love.
