Revealing mistake: Two mistakes here: Before Darth Vader cuts Luke's hand, he cuts in half three columns. In the close-up, one can see that what held them together was a piece of wrinkled duct tape. In further shots, the tape disappears and only the scorched part of the column is visible.

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.
