Since I first saw the film in '82, I've always remembered seeing a string of spit between Han and Leia's lips as they are pulled away from each other in the carbon freeze kissing scene. I've looked for it in every video incarnation I've ever owned, and have not seen it since!
The only time I've ever seen such a thing in a movie is when Connor MacLeod is kissing his wife in the original "Highlander."
Trust me, it is possible to make such confusions (even when you're not a little kid). I saw "Far and Away" once and for some reason remembered the main character being played by Mel Gibson. It was actually Tom Cruise.
A (not much younger than me) friend of mine confused Sam Neil with Liam Neeson.
