Predatory? Sorry but that’s a bit of an extreme description of Han and Leia’s relationship. Han is a typical overly confident buffoon but Leia is a strong and confident woman who is never forced or coerced into anything. She’s clearly in control of any situation she’s placed in with any of her “suitors” throught the OT.

But their relationship is portrayed in the very classic style of the lovable buffoon pursuing the fiercely independent woman that goes all the way back to Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew.

I agree that I wouldn’t point to Han as a romantic role model, but I’d stop way short of calling him predatory.
