Trivia: "Weird Al" Yankovic recorded a song for his 1985 album, "Dare to Be Stupid," called "Yoda" - a parody of "Lola" by the Kinks - which gives an abridged summary of the plot of this film from Luke's perspective. The song's lyrics make reference to Mark Hamill playing the role of Luke Skywalker until he is old and gray, which ended up becoming true 30 years after the album was released.

Question: Why does Han irritate Leia so much?
Answer: Because Leia is trying to bring down an evil empire while Han keeps trying to charm her. Also she sees potential in him as a leader and fighter instead of just a mercenary smuggler.
Answer: Star Wars being for the young and the young at heart, Han and Leia's relationship unfolds in a deliberately childish manner that kids can relate to and adults will find comedic. Leia is irritated at herself for her attraction to Han, and certainly unamused that Han teases her over it, while at the same time he is not brave enough to admit his own feelings, either.
