"Why I guess you don't know everything about women yet." Then she kisses her brother.
What did she mean by this?
>RotJ
Luke:
>The force is strong in my family.... my father has it, I have it.... my sister has it. Yes, it's YOU, Leia!"
Leia:
>I know... somehow, I've always known.
Incest is strong in their family too. Luke will bone Rey too. You know she's his daughter.
Proof that writers/producers had no idea what they were doing at the moment and were making up the "star wars universe" as they went along.
she meant that luke was a big guy, for her.
in-universe: she was trying to make han jealous and she didn't know luke was her brother at the time
not hard to rationalize, you could even say this kiss might well be the source of her "somehow I've always known" line in Jedi
she tried it and it felt wrong for some reason and she spent the rest of the trilogy lusting for Han

out of universe: this
leia wasn't Luke's brother or "the other" until Jedi
this scene in empire is basically the sole remnant of what was supposed to be a love triangle that they rather wisely avoided

Maybe it's just the new cuts, but Obi Wan tells Yoda that there is another when referencing someone who can restore balance to the force. I figured that was Leia.
I mean it's very likely that Leia and Luke being siblings was completely contrived when writing RotJ, but at the same time, it's really no more jarring than Darth Vader being Luke's father.
It really wasn't until we find out Anakin built C-3PO that we realized George just wants everyone to be related to everyone.

I always thought Luke and Leia being brother and sister was contrived and stupid. Lazy and silly writing.
Star Wars sucked in 1983 too.

Is Rey Luke and Leias daughter?

It's not exactly liked for it's writing. We all know the writings atrocious.
