I'm a regular visitor of the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) and I was surprised by a recent review of "The Empire Strikes Back" that bashes the film slightly for having Princess Leia hook up with Han Solo instead of Luke Skywalker -which, as we all know, was followed up with Leia being Luke's long lost sister. The critic complained that Leia should have been Luke's girlfriend because Luke was the film's "emotional focus" and that putting her with Han Solo undermined Luke's position as "the emotional focus".
It would be a bit hard for Leia to have a romance with Luke considering Luke was busy in Daggobah. Besides, I think the love triangle was nicely setup, and the few moments Luke and Leia do spend together in ESB were touching and emotional.
