Ok, others post theirs, but this is mine. It's not from any of the "witty banter" between Obi-Wan and Anakin, or any of the more queasy romantic moments. It's when Anakin decides to go and see his mother. Here's the scene, for those of you who forgot.

Anakin: I know I'm disobeying my mandate to protect you Senator, but I have to leave.

Padme: I'll go with you.

Anakin: I'm sorry, I don't have a choice.

WHAT? I mean say what you will about horrible corny, quease-inducing dialogue, at least they make sense. This line is just ridiculous. She said she'd go with you!! Quit your bitchin and leave! That's like asking someone to marry you, having them say yes, and then saying "Oh c'mon please!" Either it was screwed up in editing, there was another line Padme was supposed to say or something, or it's just the dumbest line ever.

My favorite line from episode II was this::


A long time ago in a galaxy, far far away...

[Ferris Wiel]

Worst Lines
TIE:

"It is apparent that this contest will not be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber."

OR

"I hate the sand. It's coarse... and rough... and it gets eiieiieiiaiiiieiverywhere."

The way Hayden delivers that line with that nasal voice it buzzes in my sinuses and my temples for HOURS after.

Uh... are we forgetting this little nugget?

ANAKIN: Oh, you know, Master, I couldn't find a speeder I
really liked, with an open cockpit... and with the right
speed capabilities... and then you know I had to get a
really gonzo color...

OBI-WAN: If you'd spend as much time working on your saber
skills as you do on your wit, young Padawan, you would
rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.

Take your pick which line is the worst. Personally that scene would have caused me to blush noticeably from embarrassment in the theatre, had the lights not been dimmed..

"It is apparent that this contest will not be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber."

I didn't mind this one.

You are way in the minority there J. but that's the great thing about opinions. We're all intitled to them. I do believe this line was delivered as well as it could be delivered by any actor anywhere. But that is what also made it stand out as so bad. Persoanlly, this is one of the lines that resulted in my biggest cringe during the film, so I guess you know where my opinion sits.

In truth I agree with everyone here on their choices so I'm just going to second them all.

[Ferris Wiel]

What was so bad about that line?

*Whistles* - Perhaps because it's cornball. Why announce it? It's the classic Lucas PT faux pas of "tell don't show." It breaks the rules of filmmaking (and yes, they do exist). You have a visual medium but you're having your actors describe what they're doing as if it's a radio drama. I could understand if this were NPR but it's a multi-million dollar flick! Plus it's a lead-in to the biggest, shittiest fight sequence in all of Star Warsdom. If you HAVE to have the fight, then at least go like this.

Yoda: "Formidable, you are, Tyrannus."
Dookie: "This show of strength is pointless..." *SNAP-HISS*

Dookie turns on his lightsaber and lashes out quickly. Even quicker, Yoda reacts, side-stepping...and whacking Dookie in the back of the legs with his cane.

Yoda: "Much have you to learn, my old apprentice."

Anything would have been better, even...

"It is apparent that this contest will not be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills at FAN-DANCING!!! WHOOOO!"

I liked that one.. but not because it fit in the film. I just sort of viewed it as lines Jacques and I would use if we were in that situation.. but then again that is Jacques and I.. and we already rival master Yoda.. in wit!

Yoda: "Formidable, you are, Tyrannus."

Now this I do like! Nice FW. Very nice. I've never had an issue with Yoda being able to move like he did. But I would have preferred it to be demonstrated in a better way. You've come alot closer to what I personally would have liked with those few lines.

[barend]

how about this...
dookie: "this force fight is just pointless"[turns on lightsbare]"i'ii just have to kill you the old fashioned way..."
yodle: "your ass I will kick, you vampire looking mutherfucker!"
dookie:"bring it on snot grover"

now that's enterrainment...

Now this has given me an idea. After seeing both your post barend as well as Ferris' I think a little collaboration is in order. Here are the some team ups I'd like to see penning scripts:

1. barend and Ferris Wiel
2. Mike Mac and Civ#2 (this one I also require the writing process to be filmed)
3. Jon Gutner and Chefelf
4. Vwing and Just your average movie fan

Anyone else got any ideas?
