In movies like this, you deal with those things efficiently and then move on. Like the other poster I agree that having Luke go back to risk his life to intervene demonstrates his care (the fact that he fully embraces becoming a Jedi after also shows the impact) and the music clearly is meant to indicate the profound impact this has on him (and in star wars half the story is told through the music). After that though, yes we are focused on the adventure, which is fine. That isn't a lack of consistency. That is efficiency. The kiss is inconsistent because it is never addressed at all. The same with Leia. She definitely shows how she feels about Alderaan when it happens. So it is dealt with. Plus we get plenty of weight from Obi-Wan's reaction when he senses it. Then the full weight of it is shown to the viewer when all that is left are bits and pieces of it. For a movie like star wars any further dwelling on the issue would have taken away from the impact of Obi-Wan's sensing the deaths of the inhabitants of Alderaan. So these were both addressed and the movie does move on (though arguably these things both strengthen Luke and Leia's resolve).</blockquote>
