1. The whole reason the Jedi order collapsed is because Anakin had a hard on for Natalie Portman. And this wasn't an "I like you and want to have sex once to have a baby and move on" thing. Anakin wanted to fuck the shit out of her. 2. And I guess there was a non-sexual reason to put a chain on Leia's neck and gold bikini on her? Jaba just always wanted to be a fashion designer or something. Was there a reason Empire Strikes back couldn't have been told without Leia in a gold bikini? No? Are you ok with that scene? 3. There is nothing political about gay characters besides the fact that some backwards people want to make a political issue out of it. Basically, people get sticks in their asses about something that shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Then you go "oh people have sticks in their asses about this, so it's too political and we can't have it without some special reason".

1. I'm obviously not saying that the characters themselves got together just to have babies. I'm saying that the reason the romance was created in the first place was to explain Anakin's downfall/Darth Vader's creation and the origins of Luke and Leia. The chronology damands it.
Once again, people don't watch Star Wars for its ravishing love stories.
2. I always felt that the bikini part was out of place, just as I am opposed to the unnecessary nudity in recent Fire Emblem games and Game of Thrones. In any event, you can't possibly make the claim that a significant portion of the Star Wars audience watched Return of the Jedi for its sexual content.
3. If they wait 40 years before suddenly adding a gay character it is obvious that they do it for political reasons to promote acceptance or whatever, because sex and sexuality never seemed to matter in this galaxy far, far away ever before. Not once has a character ever even mentioned the word sexuality.
If a gay character is added it will only serve to detract from the core Star Wars experience and put sexuality on the board. People will then inevitably ask for other minorities to be represented in the name of "equality". I would rather not make this an issue to begin with and keep politics out of Star Wars.
