There are a lot. At the moment I vote for Obi-Wan's "You will go home and rethink your life" order to the cigarette salesmen. The cheapest of cheap laughs.

Worst line in Episode I: anything to come out of Jar Jars CGI cocksucker.
Worst line in Episode II: Every horrific line that came out of the fireplace scene with Anakin and Padme. I balled up and cringed in the theater when this part came on. I swear I was covering my face and I turned red from the embarrassment. Like Chef said about one of the reasons to hate, "this scene just refused to die" LOL thats exactly how I felt

that scene has so much potential too if you just mute it.
yknow, the more i think about the relationship, the more i realize it should have been a passionate one night stand like the one between Reese and Sara Connor.

Jar Jar screaming during the core scene
Amidala's fake accent at the beggining of the movie, then it turned off later on.
Palpatine's "stunted scum" line
EPISODE II
The 'sand' speech
"obi wan is holding me back....etc"
"I will be the most powerful Jedi ever"
"He can't do that" line for the arena
Mace's "This Party is over"
Boba Fett saying "dad"

I'll add, "Around the survivors a perimeter create" from Yoda in Episode II. Watch ESB and you'll notice that while Yoda does occasionally use that reversed syntax it isn't often and, when he does use it, it's often for emphasis (i.e. placing important words at either the beginning or the end of a sentence. E.g. "My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained" - "my own counsel" and "trained" get the emphasis.) it's better style. But in the prequels Yoda speaks backwards all the time, even if the results are ridiculous.

Speaking of which, Count Dooku's first meeting with Obi-Wan has some dud lines; Christopher Lee sounds embarrassed to even utter "Oh no my friend. They've gone too far, this is madness." (he probably was embarrassed).
C-3P0's dialogue when he's being knocked around the droid factory (surprisingly durable for a robot who can't even bend his knees) and when he's out in the Gladiator set with his head on top of one of the anorexic Daffy Duck robots.
And while I can't pin a particular line, the exchange between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett bugs me, mostly because of how stilted the dialogue is.
Would Padme's fake laugh when Anakin says "Don't worry, we have R2 with us." count as a line? Padme's casual "Oh, Anakin's not a Jedi, he's still learning" also gets on my nerves, and not just because of its bad delivery but of its sheer bluntness and inconsiderate nature. Sure, he's an immature lunatic, but putting him down like that in front of her rabble of a political cabinet was just cold.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

If we can't rag on Jar Jar, sand speeches or other stuff... Threepio's comedy hour of "what a drag""I feel quite beside myself" was just CRAP!
Though the "I hate sand, because it gets caught in your butt" line is the worst, it is, as above, withdrawn from the contest.

Episode two is really hard. Hmmm.... worst line besides sand... Well... I think it would have to be the dialogue between Obi Wan and Dooku. It did nothing for tension and only served to confuse the viewer.

Oh man. I remember finally convincing my ex gf to watch AOTC with me (like an ass I hadn't seen it yet), and even more than Anakin's "soft as sand" crap, the two "witty" lines Threepio mutters in the battle arena made me sorry I ever made the poor girl sit through the whole movie. Even 5 year olds seem to wince at those two horrible, horrible lines of dialogue

What the hell is the kid TRYING to say!??? I've never been able to figure this one out!!
Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

any line involving "m'lady"
how about the "gundarks" line.
ykno, one of the deleted scenes shows anakin visiting Padme's family on Naboo. I think its one of the best scenes in the movie (b/c there aren't any glaring problems, lol). Hayden and Natalie are in their romance-movie element. Anakin talks with the father while the girls talk about him in the kitchen and encourage her to like him. Anakin isn't mature and isn't even creepy!
Naturally it got cut b/c GL is a dumbass.

Maybe he'll release a STAR WARS EPISODE I - III SPECIAL EDITION in 2019 when he has no money anymore, and is senile (assuming not senile now, or in fact back in the 1980s when he made the Ewok cartoons)
