SO weird... I just watched The Quiet Man (hey, had to watch an Irish movie with corned beef and cabbage for dinner!) and was thinking about how much fun it is, but how TOTALLY un-PC it is in this day and age. Really, all of the Wayne/O'Hara movies get the complaints.
Stranger still, your post was followed on my f-list by a post talking about the phenomenon of so many parents objecting to sex in books and movies, but not violence. Sort of works together in my head in a way. It's just weird the way some people relate to stories and characters.
When it comes down to it... sure, Han may have pushed some boundaries, but Leia had certainly been pushing buttons! And it was pretty obvious that Leia could have left if she wanted to. He backed off quickly enough when she elbowed him at first, then came back in VERY slowly. I see it more in the context of Han finally knowing her well enough to see that she WAS attracted to him, but was scared to do anything about it. They'd known each other, what, three years at that point?
Besides, they weren't THAT alone on the ship. If he did anything to her, Chewie would have ripped his arms off. (If not something else.)
