If it wasn't mentioned already, the line that one of the Naboo Guards mentions to Obi Wan as Anakin takes Padme on the low key journey to Naboo for safety:

"I'd be worried about HER trying something first..." or words to that effect, making Padme seem to be a set of raging hormones on two legs, not to mention the ackwardness of that moment.

The lines that don't sit well with me in this film are:

Anakin: I should be the most powerfull Jedi ever! (sobs)
He's holding me back, it's all Obi-wan's fault! (sobs more)

Seriously now, how is Obi-wan holding him back when all he is offering is light guidance and partial discretion. Anakin thinks Obi-wan is tough, he better be thankful that Qui-gon didn't train him instead. I think Qui-gon would have torn into Anakin's behind every time he placed a foot out of line! Obi-wan never really strayed from the Light side, except with facing Maul. Other than that, Obi-wan was a solid Jedi. Anakin, please.... he needed a whippin' for his foolishness.

There were a lot of bad lines between Anakin & Padme, such as when they're on that ship en route back to Naboo and he's explaining how Jedi are "encouraged to live" and she's going on about how hard it must be to "not go where you like or to do the things you like.", etc.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

Man, this swill does not sit well with me either! It's like she was saying these things to pity him and he would consider leaving his discipline for her. The mess that she was saying reminds me of the trickery that the blonde reporter uses agains Van-damme's character at the dinner table in Bloodsport. Ack! The more I think about it, the worse the PT gets.

Yeah, now that I think about it, Padme's line about how hard it must be not to go where you want and do what you want is just odd. It feels wrong for Padme.

This woman, young though she looks, was a queen in the previous movie, and a senator in this one. So Padme has been responsible for the lives and welfare of millions of other people for much of her young life. You'd expect her instead to say maybe that being responsible for others is difficult and places many frustrating restrictions on what a person can do -- but that it's still something that must be done, or that it's rewarding in its own right to keep your people safe, or that in the end it's a great honor and privilege to be trusted to be a protector of others (or that maybe Anakin ought to just quit whining, listen to Obi-Wan, suck it up, and do his damn job already happy.gif ).

Her line about not being able to do what you want just sounds like the sort of thing that a girl used to just hanging out with friends and goofing off might say. More to the point, it sounds like something some rich California girl from the early 21st century might say.

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...

I think I can safely say that, upon reflection, my feelings on the word "gonzo" being used in a Star Wars movie has passed "annoyance" and is into the range of "anger."

It is odd that, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the word "gonzo" apparently had the same "X-treme!" meaning it had on earth from January 2002 through maybe August 2002. Evidently this word didn't hang around in the far far away galaxy's slang any longer than it did on Earth: you'll notice none of the rest of the cast employs the word.

Perhaps it is fortunate Darth Maul was played mostly mute, otherwise Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon might have been instructed to "Talk to the hand."

Holy crap, how did I miss that line? I guess I only did see the movie 2-3 times but I would have figured that I'd catch something like THAT!

I may have to go with this as my least favorite line:

ANAKIN: If Master Obi-Wan caught me doing this, he'd be very grumpy.


That's the scene where he's levitating fruit for Padme to eat.

(Sigh) This scene, ...In the theater, everyone got the biggest laugh out of this for some reason. I just felk awkward about Anakin saying it all. The question is "Why would Obi-wan be grumpy for levitating fruit?!" Obi-wan made that mini ViewMaster in a marble levitate to him when he "lost a planet." Please, ....these lines get worse and worse.

BTW, this thread is awesome! laugh.gif

After this movie left theaters and was on DVD it was shown on HBO and Cinemax every day about six times a day, and my wife and I would watch it out of sheer boredom quite often because there was nothing else worth watching on the other 900 channels! laugh.gif Anyway, until I read this thread, I never really thought about how bad some of the lines were, I just kind of knew that the whole thing was a bit cheesy and ignored most of it. Having seen it over 20+ times though, I'm rather sick of it the most out of all of the PT, but I even saw it a few times in Spanish for variety. Might I suggest anyone try that to see if they're any better? biggrin.gif

If you really want to blow your mind, get the French language track going with Spanish subtitles. Who knows? Maybe somehow it will come out better, a mishmash of languages. It worked with Showgirls. My brothers were laughing their asses off at this tactic.

Barend, that is a good way to protect yourself from the PT level dialogue of this movie. I got it in a bargain bin for the MiSTing possibilities only.

sleep.gif OK,.i know this thread is about Ep II,.but lets not dismiss Ep I,.there's more cheesy lines in that movie than a Wisconsin Cheddar factory.

here are some Ep I lines to consider:

ANAKIN: Are you an angel? .(.either this is a cheesy pick up line to Padme, or the prodigy genius that fully designed C3PO cant tell a female human from an ethereal entity.)


PADME: What?

ANAKIN: An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the Moons of Iego I think. (Anakin doesnt even seem to recall the story he was told before)

PADME looks at him, not knowing what to say.

PADME: You're a funny little boy (sounds almost as if Padme is laughing aloud in her own mind that some young grade school boy would even try to hit on her)
...either this is a cheesy pick up line to Padme, or the prodigy genius that fully designed C3PO cant tell a female human from an ethereal entity.

heres another one:...

ANAKIN: "Hit the nose!"
(sounds more like a scripted line from a Milton Bradley board game television commericial advertisement from the 1980's than anything George Lucas would write into his script).


I think this next line takes the razzie award......

THREEPIO: I beg your pardon .... what do you mean, naked?

ARTOO beeps.

THREEPIO: (Cont'd) My parts are showing? My goodness.

ARTOO releases a laugh-like twitter.

OK folks,..dont get me wrong here..I am a huge star wars fan...but like most fans, I tend to like some films in the saga more than others. Not trying to bash TPM,..its a great film,.but we all know that the script could use maybe..err,.just a tiny bit of improvement to it. ..maybe even a whole lot of improvement.

with a few changes in script to Return of the Jedi, I believe it could have been very possible to have Luke Skywalker fall to the Dark Side.

scene takes place inside the throne room, Luke has just entered to find the Emperor and Mara Jade engaged in a heated copulating position........

The Emperor: Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the obsession of your dear sweetheart in the care of my wrinkled hands

[Luke's eyes go to his lightsabre]

The Emperor looks upon Mara then turns to Luke: "You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.

Luke activates lightsaber and charges quickly at the Emperor: "Arrrghhh,..you evil bastard!!"

The emperor dies at the hands of Luke and Luke hears the now spiritual vocal echo of the Emperor in laughter at his success at turning Luke to the Dark Side.

Luke responds with a verse quoted by his own father when Anakin was his age: "WHAT HAVE I DONE?????!!!!!"
