What's your pick for the single worst line in the Star Wars films?
I love the movies (yes, even the last three), and yet, in all honesty, there was some pretty execrable dialogue. Try this one:

"What's wrong, Annie?"--Padme

It's all about context. You see, hours ago, Anakin Skywalker was toting his mother's corpse. Imagine being at a funeral and hearing someone ask a wailing widow, "what's wrong?"

Embarrassing.

2. Leia - "I know, somehow I've always known."
Bullshit woman, you had no freakin' clue.

9. I forgot about that one!
Lucas the Revisionist claims he always intended Luke and Leia to be twins; thankfully, Star Wars and ESB producer Gary Kurtz called his former boss out in an interview years ago.

3. my favorite:
PADMÉ: ...We used to lie on the sand and let the sun dry
us... and try to guess the names of the birds singing.

ANAKIN: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and
irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here
everything's soft... and smooth...

He touches her arm. PADMÉ has become receptive to the way
he looks at her but is nervous.



"you so soft and smooth padme, touchy touchy"

4. Cruel overseer: "Your name is 'Toby!' Say it!"
I mean, the whole Jar Jar character was pretty offensive, but the whipping scene was just gratuitous. "Me name-sa Jar Jar Binks, Massa Annikin!" Fucking wrong.

8. Lucas should never, ever write dialogue... EVER
He should hire someone for that part of his scripts....

12. When Chewbacca sings the opening line of the old "Tonight Show" theme...
I swear, it's true. I think it's somewhere in the beginning of "Empire". He makes some Wookie noises, and the tones he hits match the first five notes of the old "Tonight Show" theme (Johnny Carson era).

13. Oh, Annie!
Does Padme really say that when she leaps into his arms to comfort him after he has slaughtered all the tusken raiders, or is that just how I remember it?

:puke:

14. What is wrong with you people?
Edited on Fri Apr-15-05 09:39 AM by VelmaD
The obvious answer is "But I was going into Toshe Station to pick up some power converters"
