In Blade Runner it’s deliberately ambiguous if there is something of a rape nature going on. Rachel is saying no based on experiences that aren’t hers, her facility to say no under those circumstances is the point of the scene. So is he abusing her or liberating her and yes we are meant to feel uncomfortable contemplating either possibility. It’s nuanced and adult and trillion light years away from Prometheus.
Indy’s under-aged sex subplot thankfully is largely removed from the final film.
That leaves the typical “I’m not interested in you” (lie) love story trope in ESB. It might be a bit wobbly but compared to creepy sex looks Anakin or anything to do with sand it’s William Shakespeare innit?

Thank heavens for Witness.
