Also, it seems like it gets overlooked a lot, but Leia kisses Luke at the end of ESB, in his bed on the Falcon. Why doesn't anyone make a big deal of that, like they do the kiss on Hoth?

I have always enjoyed Kershners commentary. He is very matter of fact, and doesn't get bogged down in theory too much. And I have always assumed that he is Jewish yes.

As for the Luke/Leia kiss on the Falcon, it's more affectionate and less passionate (like the cut one) or deliberate (like the one in the medical room on Hoth). I decided not to really talk about the Luke/Leia kisses in 'Building Empire' as I felt that it has been covered to the point of cliche. The Easter Egg shows what I believe to be Lucas demostrating that he hadn't written the sibling relationship into the story as early as you might think.
