    +1 To add to this. Luke wants to save the princess, but Han has no interest. So Luke explains that she is very rich and there would be a reward. Han changes his mind.

    Also, Lucas wanted Star Wars to be a prototypical, epic moral saga about good and evil. What do most prototypical, epic moral sagas about good and evil include? The gallant hero(es) rescuing the damsel in distress. Of course, Leia is tougher than most damsels, but the story still needed the rescue.
