Romeo&Juliet is a love story I think every culture has; when you break it down, it's not romantic and there's no great reason why it's considered as highly as it is, apart from the fact it's been adopted into the language in itself, and thus is a part of everybody's cultural experience as the ultimate romance.
Though I feel compelled to point out that the relationship evolved over THREE movies, not just the one. Yeah, I think it's fine to ship Luke/Leia as there are hints of it in the first two but I hate it when people say Han/Leia at the beginning of EHB is a massive WTF. It made sense to me, there were enough hints in ANH.
Jim/Pam might be good but pales in comparison with the British original Office's Tim/Dawn, who were one of those couples that even people who normally don't give a crap about ships in anything rooted for passionately to get together in the end.
Anyway, I think they got different people from the editing team to pick their favourites which is probably why the list has a very miscellanous feel.
