Due to certain, um, revelations in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" vis-à-vis Vader = Father/Leia = Sister, the genealogy of "Star Wars" can be a bit tricksy, which is why a handy infographic was in order.
Matt Baker at Chart Geek has crafted said family tree, which breaks down the twisty-turny familial legacy of the Skywalker clan, from being conceived by those damned midi-chlorians (which conspiracy nerds believe points to the evil Palpatine being Anakin's paterfamilias), straight through to expanded universe offspring like the Solo twins.
Don't expect any of those sons and daughters from the novels to wind their way into "Episode VII," though, at least if screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan has anything to say about it.
"I'm trying to start fresh," Kasdan told Hero Complex, quashing any hope of expanded universe nonsense winding up onscreen.

We’re days away from the launch of the latest Die Hard film – A Good Day To Die Hard – but it would seem Bruce Willis is already open to slipping his holster back on again. Talking to the BBC’s One Show, the McClane man was asked by hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones if we could expect a sixth entry. And he said… wait for it… “Yes.”Now, despite the fact that Bruce is the Die Hard icon, we’re all going to have to wait and see how A Good Day To Die Hard, in which the NYPD’s grumpiest cop heads to Russia to track down seemingly wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney), only to get mixed up in spy shenanigans, terrorist threats and one potentially explosive situation, performs at the box office.Plus, while 20th Century Fox is clearly happy to keep the franchise ticking over, it...

Baker, who has already raised over £500,000 with his efforts, told Digital Spy today that the task is physically taking its toll on his knees and bottom.

The TV presenter said that his toughest moment on the journey came in the opening day when he realised the enormity of his task. "The hills were awful, the wind battered me, the weather battered me.
