There's a scene from the OT that kills me. When they're on Endor in the evening and Leia and Han are being "romantic" and it is some of the most soap opera dialogue in the whole series.

Its arguably not terrible when you read it, but watching it I was rolling my eyes. People love to hate on the Padme+Anakin romance but the Han+Luke+Leia love triangle is equally as hard to watch, in my opinion. If we're going to give one a hard time we can't ignore the other. Lucas just isn't the best at dialogue

Leia holds back her tears as Luke slowly lets her go and moves away. He disappears onto the walkway that leads out of the village. Leia, bathed in moonlight, watches him go as Han comes out of the Chief's hut and comes over to her. Leia is crying, her body trembling. He realizes only now that she is crying.

HAN Hey, what's goin' on?

Leia attempts to stifle her sobs and wipes her eyes.

LEIA Nothing. I - just want to be alone for a little while.

HAN (angry) Nothing? Come on, tell me. What's goin' on?

She looks up at him, struggling to control herself.

LEIA I...I can't tell you.

HAN (loses his temper) Did you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?

LEIA I...

HAN Ahhh...

He starts to walk away, exasperated, then stops and walks back to her.

HAN I'm sorry.

LEIA Hold me.

Han gathers her tightly in his protective embrace.

Funnily enough I thought it was worse when I read it. The actors at least made it somewhat believable. It was terrible though.
