han “i know you have a crush on me” solo
My favourite things about this scene:
1. Han and Leia have done this sort of thing SO OFTEN that they can move out of the way to let people through while continuing to argue, and
2. the Princess of Alderaan/Leader of the Rebellion having a spat with General Solo about whether or not she fancies him or whatever is so commonplace that nobody even feels bad about walking through the middle of their fights.
I mean look at that guy’s face. He’s seen this fifteen times before.
And you just know that people used to be really polite when Han and Leia got into an argument.
They maybe tried to walk a different way around the base, or they’d just stand there, feeling awkward, till Han and Leia were finished or felt bad enough to pause and let them through but eventually everyone’s just, NOPE, WALKING RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE, GOT A REBELLION TO RUN HERE, KTHXBYE.
So in my research for this episode I found out that canonically The Empire Strikes Back takes place THREE FLIPPING YEARS after A New Hope.
THREE YEARS this guy has been listening to them argue. No wonder he can’t be bothered to care about interrupting.
