AetosV Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Everything- absolutely everything that comes out of young Anakin Skywalker's face. Yes, he's nine, but he's also the Chosen One. He built C-3PO, is a slave and a podracer- so shouldn't this kid be a bit, oh, I dunno, smarter? Sure, kids say nutty stuff in reality, but this is a movie, and dialogue, even delivered by a child, should be superb. Jar Jar Binks. That is all. Anakin: "You're so beautiful." Padme: "It's only because I'm in love." Anakin: "No, it's because I'm so in love with you." Padme: "So love has blinded you?" Me: "What the hell?" Hayden Christensen was just...just awful, acting-wise. And it's a terrible shame that such superlative actors such as Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmad, Samuel L Jackson, Frank Oz, Leim Neison, Natile Portman, and many, MANY others were given such crappy dialogue. I mean, think of how...incredibly improved these movies could be in the hands of someone who might actually write them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayceUlrand Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 "Sith lords are our speciality." Obviously they don't remember their last fight with a Sith lord...the same Sith lord... Anakin lost an arm and Obi-Wan got whooped and Yoda saved them. Exactly. Not to mention Obi-Wan is made a joke in every duel after Darth Maul, and barely redeemed himself against Anakin.

HobbieTheGenius Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 "OUCH. DATS MUY BIGO OUCHO. WBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWB." Jar Jar getting shocked was the most retarded part of the prequels. "They're coming through!" Except clearly no one is coming through, Princess Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidyr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not counting Jar Jar Binks (who is a shoe in for every thing he says, and isn't fair in this "contest"), any dialogue spoken in scenes where Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman were alone together.

Erevan_Kindelar Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 "Carrie!!" Including it on an out-takes reel would have been fun, but I guess Ep.IV was shot on a low budget that did not give them too many chances to reshoot, so the hope was that the background noise and the scenic chaos would mean it was missed.

shamrockjew Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 How about the opening scroll of text telling me that a trade federation is blocking trade because of space taxes... taxes that would most likely fund some kind of government federation of traders...

Malachi_Krieg Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Get him to watch Stand By Me. A film with 4 kids and hailed as an absolute classic ... also my wifes favourite film. On Topic..... "My power has doubled since last time we met". Said Anakin to Dooku after checking his Force'o'meter. I honestly remember watching that scene and expecting someone to yell "What?! 9000?!"

rainbow Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Anakin: "You're so beautiful." Padme: "It's only because I'm in love." Anakin: "No, it's because I'm so in love with you." Padme: "So love has blinded you?" Me: "What the hell?" If it was intentional then I think they hit the point. Anakin is inexperienced... and doesn't have any empathy.

Malachi_Krieg Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 there are ways you can do it with out having it be so obvious. The easy way to do it is always have your main characters in cover and then have a bunch of "red shirts" close to them that get killed instead. Or just have your heroes get shot every now and then but don't kill them. Luke takes one in the hand (RotJ). Leia (ANH) gets stunned and then later takes one in the arm (RotJ). C3-P0 and R2-D2 -- while not combatants, but most certainly "hero" characters -- get shot, disassembled, slapped, kicked, prodded, knocked over several times. Barring Force User related injuries/kills (Obi-Wan, Anakin/Vader, Qui-Gon, etc.), I think the only "hero" character who is in all three of the Original Trilogy films who never "gets shot" is Chewie. Says something about Wookiees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeejedi Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The ridiculous line in Episode 2 where Anakin is talking to Padme at the house on Naboo: "I don't like sand. It's rough, its coarse and it gets everywhere. Not like you, your everything soft and smooth." ...... Seriously?? That's your plan to woo someone? Well it worked so they must be seriously easy chicks on Naboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissirra Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 SW:ANH INTERIOR: IMPERIAL STARDESTROYER. On the main viewscreen, the lifepod carrying the two terrified robots speeds away from the stricken Rebel spacecraft. CHIEF PILOT: There goes another one. CAPTAIN: Hold your fire.

Tarfang Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Am I the only one that really liked Hayden Christensen in the Prequels?Of course not. People who like or don't mind things that the majority vehemently despises don't usually bother speaking up, especially on a Star Wars forum, because there will always be at least one person waiting to make them feel stupid for their opinion. Personally I can't say I really liked his performance either, but I don't mind it. People get stuck on their initial reactions to things. I hated the Clone Wars at first for instance, but I made an effort to change my attitude, think about it from a different angle and now I like it. People just enjoy reveling in their hatred of Hayden, and the prequels in general. Why make an effort to change something you enjoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavyhill Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Qui Gon's speech about midichlorians to Anakin. How did it take so long for someone to mention this? And still nobody has posted the whole quote. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you. The Force. Ruined. Forever. With a single paragraph. Whoever told Lucas about mitochondria should burn in the lower depths. Edited February 9, 2012 by wavyhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says something about Wookiees. Sorry wrong: Chewie takes a shot in RotJ during the Sarlacc pit fight. Looks like its in the knee. I'm not kidding. He's holding his knee. Han evens says "Chewie you're okay?"... it was an indirect from a deck gun tho so it must smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock Cassius on out of Satan's mouth, this guy goes head first in his stead. <_< This thread has made my morning. xD I would say anyhing that anakin said. He just sounded like a whiney brat; even his defeat scene "I hate you!' sounded like a suburban emo kid yelling at his step dad when he wouldn't let him drive the car. -.- Edited February 9, 2012 by Amaste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaerobe Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The worse is the Viceroy....a man of suppose power and his awful reactions and lines. "My lord! Is that... legal?" "This is getting out of hand! Now, there are *two* of them!" "She can't do that! Shoot her or something!" I forget the exact wording when he mistakes the false Queen Amidala for the real one in Phantom. "Fools, that the real queen" Oh really genius.... "The war is over. Lord Sidious promised us peace. We only want..." [Anakin strikes him down with his lightsabre] Thank you newly minted Sith for putting this noob out of my misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
