Why would anyone do this? Especially when it gives Bond a chance to escape and foil the plan? Unless you intend to end the speech with “And I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids,” avoid the Villain Explanation Method. We all know the scene in any random episode of Scooby Doo or in any James Bond film where the culprit - for no apparent reason other than to inform the audience - launches an extended explanatory soliloquy in which he or she reveals their true plan for world domination (involving a laser) or the true reason why Frederick von Whatevermeir had to be eliminated. Do not use dialogue to reveal plot to the extent that it stops making sense. Not only should you avoid excessive emotion, but also excessive explanation. She already knows he loves her this is not what she needs to hear. It’s perfect because that’s what she quickly needs to know - that he believes her hasty declaration despite all the refusals that have come before. Though the natural response, one would think, would have been “I love you, too,” Harrison Ford, whose insight is always apparently better than his acting, purportedly ad-libbed the perfect response. Behind the bare-bones language are volumes of speech, an admission of vulnerability the tough-as-nails princess-warrior finds excruciating to make. All it takes, on Leia’s behalf, is the simple, quick admission. Despite their flirtatious bickering, these two characters have known for a while that there is something more here than space hormones. Moreover, who has time? You think Stormtroopers are going to pause their busy schedules so you and your beloved can wax romantic? But, most of all, these two lines in this otherwise bad scene are great because they are apt. Neither of these characters is the effusive type that’s the whole problem. And now it’s too late! (We think.) Such chattiness would not only have been cheesy, however, it would have been uncharacteristic. Han Solo is about - we think - to die, and Princess Leia has never admitted to loving him. So much could have gone wrong here - a last-minute profession of love where words like “forever” and “remember” and “always” are said. What makes these lines so great is how Spartan they are.
