Well, I have to say that ROTJ Han/Leia arc worked pretty well for me, I loved ROTJ as needed relief after darkness of ESB and was glad to know that nothing stands in a way of their love )) as it could be if Luke wasn't positioned as Leia's brother. So, in spite of whatever motivation Lucas had behind making a plot of ROTJ I agree with the version we saw (had no problems with the Ewoks either, btw). The only thing I feel could have been included is a brief wedding ceremony of Han and Leia. Was it supposed at least?

And one more thing: why "I love you - I know" was "a comic relief"? There wasn't any "laugh-out-loud" feeling about the whole scene. I was deeply shocked (in a positive sense) and deeply impressed when the princess revealed her love to Han, not Luke. After all Han was a handsome guy with Harrison Ford-like appearance ))), and it was so unusual when one of two main characters falls in love with someone who isn't the other main character (if to assume that the whole saga is about Skywalker family), but such a scoundrel, who breaks rules and brings flush of a fresh air. It would be so boring if Lucas and Co followed traditional path of Hollywood movie-making: Luke was too disciplined, too idealistic and so was Leia so that needed to be diluted ;) However, one should note that regardless of what could improve development of characters, it's quite obvious that the crash Fisher had on Ford (and the impression that she still has :D), had MUCH to do with screen-writers or/and directors to pair them ON-screen ) And it was excellent.
