Predatory Romance in Harrison Ford Movies

Jonathan McIntosh dissects iconic Harrison Ford "romance" scenes, and reveals how troubling they are. How Han forces himself on Leia in Empire Strikes back was pointed out to me just a few years ago, and I've been coming to terms and reconciling with how these scenes have impacted my thoughts and character since. I also know many people who hold Ford's characters and swagger in near-mythological regard. Hopefully McIntosh's work helps others reconsider how they view and think about movies.
