That's interesting. In the interviews I've seen w/ Kirshner, he says that the line was changed to take advantage of Han's character more than the line that was originally intended. I took that to mean that they wanted to take advantage of the self-centered aspect of Han's personality, and honestly the line never struck me as anything other than humorous.
Maybe it's more of a regional/cultural interpretation. :-?
Nothing personal, but why are there so many people misspelling Kershner's name.
In my case, it was because I was in a hurry and typed an "i" instead of an "e". You'll see that in post #35, I spelled it correctly. ;-)

Again, this is a personal preference. Obvious reply could be that but it would be a commonplace. This classic echoing is an established tradition, cliche that doesn't always work (sometimes it's necessary though depending on the plot, development and so on). I personally don't like such "obvious" things. To have him say "I know" was smth extraordinary, not seen before. One doesn't have to mirror other's "I love you" to express his/her feelings.
I'm not really clear on what you're getting at here. You seem to be reiterating the point I was trying to make...sort of(?)
My point was that (in movie-cliche style) "I love you too" would have been the obvious (and boring) response, but they chose to shake things up a bit and go with an unexpected and inspired response instead.
I still believe that the line was intended by the dry-witted Ford (and Kershner, if you believe he was involved) to be humorous. But that's me.

Is it true Kasdan was irritated when they changed the line from "just remember that cause I'll be back" To " I Know" ?
Just curious, Sky....how do you interpret the "I know" line? Funny, wistful, or...???? :-/
