Then romance. Everyone seems to agree that the Prequels handled romance badly but consider Han’s attitude to Leia in ESB. He aggressively ignores Leia’s boundaries, she repeatedly tells him to stop and he pushes, he literally backs her into a corner and forces her into a kiss.

I will add that Han forces the kiss while Leia tries to fix his ship, it is really not the time for that! And when C3PO interrupts them, Leia sneaks away. If she had agreed to the kiss, she would have told C3PO off!

ESB is a 45 year old movie, and showing its age!
