Context: Han teases Leia about her feelings for Luke, leading to her impulsive decision to kiss Luke. It's a moment of defiance against Han, but also a genuine gesture of affection towards Luke. The kiss is playful, but it also foreshadows the complicated relationship dynamics that will be revealed later.
What does Leia do to prove to Han that she's not in love with him?
Luke Skywalker
In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes, Leia only considers Luke a friend, however, she kissed him in a failed attempt to prove she doesn't have any romantic feelings for Han; much to Luke's annoyance.
Following his nearly fatal encounter with a wampa on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is rescued by Han Solo. In a medical center shortly after, Princess Leia checks on a recovering Luke, and in an effort to make Han jealous, she kisses the bedridden hero and walks away.
While Star Wars: The Force Awakens is vague about the dissolution of Han and Leia's marriage, it's revealed that they get divorced at some point in the three decades between trilogies.
Darth Vader only learned he had a daughter in Return of the Jedi - but there's no evidence he realized she was Leia before his death and redemption. Darth Vader may have never known Princess Leia was his daughter in Star Wars and never cultivated a relationship with her, even when he was a Force ghost.
Many of the Expanded Universe stories take place after or in between the events of the movies, and follow the main characters as they grow and start families. Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
Shmi informs Qui-Gon that Anakin has no father, leading Qui-Gon to suggest that Anakin is a product of midi-chlorians (Force-imparting microorganisms). As the film progresses, Anakin leaves Tatooine to begin his Jedi training.
Lady Qi'ra was a human female crime lord from the planet Corellia who lived during the reign of the Galactic Empire. She grew up on the streets along with Han as part of the White Worms. Though they were at first rivals, the two scrumrats eventually became lovers.
The students concluded that Luke is therefore 1.75 years younger than Leia, possibly rendering them the first twins ever to have over a year between their ages.

after his father, but his mother, Leia decided to name the boy after his maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. She wanted to redeem her father's name, and she also thought she could overcome her fear of Darth Vader by seeing, through her son, what her father could have been.
The twins, and eventually their younger brother Anakin, were sent to live at various safe havens, under the protection of Leia's handmaiden, Winter. In Jedi Search, the twins returned to Coruscant at age three and had many adventures there.
Finally, Rey is Kylo Ren's aunt through Anakin Skywalker. This means that Kylo and Rey's romance is just as genetically awkward as Luke and Leia's kiss on Hoth was. Granted, neither pair knew they were related at the time, but that's no excuse.
Perhaps the strongest factor in Darth Vader's inability to sense his own daughter when she was standing right in front of him was denial. Darth Vader simply couldn't allow himself to believe that Anakin Skywalker's children had lived.
Master Yoda knew that Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker - the boy he sensed too much fear in to train way back in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. For many years it's been assumed Master Yoda was aware from the day Vader gained his cybernetic enhancements and signature wheeze.
And during the conversation, Padme is holding her stomach and appears to have a bump, seemingly confirming she was pregnant long before Revenge of the Sith. However, she chose not to tell Anakin, presumably because he was about to go into a battle.
One of the most iconic moments in The Empire Strikes Back is the reveal that Lando Calrissian, a supposed ally of Han and his friends, has actually betrayed them by giving them up to Darth Vader to protect his people. It is a shocking stab in the back that put sthe character on the enemy list of many Star Wars fans...
Leia saw the Falcon and the starfighter squadrons off, then waited anxiously for word from Starkiller Base – while hoping Han might manage to bring their son home. But it was not to be – Leia felt Han's death in the Force.
At the end of Solo, Qi'ra became the leader of Crimson Dawn, and in Hidden Empire, we learn that she's been using her supremacy and leverage within the organization to expand and penetrate various corners of the galaxy in an attempt to overthrow the Sith and the Empire once and for all.
