10. Leia Shows Her True Feelings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO-KR-14uXM THE QUOTE: I know. THE SPEAKER: Han Solo THE FILM: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back THE BACKGROUND: Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and the droids fly to Bespin in order to flee the clutches of the evil Galactic Empire. Little do they know that they are walking into a trap set by Darth Vader as a means to lure Luke to Bespin. The plan is for Luke to be frozen in carbonite and taken before the Emperor. Before this happens, Vader wants to test it on Han Solo. As Solo is lowered into the carbonite chamber, Leia blurts I love you, finally confessing her true feelings for Han Solo just before hes frozen and put into perpetual hibernation. Hans succinct reply is: I know. Brash and cocksure to the end. FUN FACT: The line was an on-set collaboration between director Irwin Kershner and actor Harrison Ford. The original script called for Han to say something along the lines of "Just remember that, Leia, because I'll be back". However, at the time Harrison Ford wasnt sure he wanted to come, so the line was changed. I think we can all agree that it suits Hans character better the way it was finally filmed.
