I thought this was a great puzzle.  Beer bottle made me laugh.  I had ACTI for 1-Down (part of the plot) when ACRE was the answer.  The clue for Leia was cute too.

I had checked the clue for ACRE as one to highlight but failed to include it.  I made the same mistake thinking it was dramatic.  :-[

That three of four theme entries were a bit tortured weakened it for me.
