I thought Luke and Nellith were meant to team up to fight Vader? And that the original was meant to span over about 8 episodes (ROTJ was meant to be just about the rescue of Han) but then Lucas went through the divorce and just wanted to wrap the series up, so he retconned Leia to be the sister.
I wish we could have had the “Luke searches for and trains his sister” arc.
Nailing canon at this point in time is tricky. Every other week something would be canonised that decanonised something. Your version of events was also true at some point. Entire books have been written about the development process of the original trilogy
