DarknessInLight Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 You know you have one. Everyone does. So, let's hear it. What is your worst moment in the Star Wars Saga? The Saga is defined as Episodes 1-6, so feel free to divulge. I will go first with one of the most obvious.... . Need I say more? This was one of those things that should NEVER have been touched when Lucas first decided to create the Special Editions of his classic films. Having Greedo get a shot off first and then getting wasted took the bada** factor out of the scene, and NO, foreshadowing the scene in the Phantom Menace didn't help at all.

BrandonSM Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 In my opinion, people overreacted at the Han Shooting first scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iprovoast Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Anakin/Padme romance subplot in Ep 2, it WAS necessary to the overall plot imo, but it just felt poorly done and with horrendous dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireSM Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think Lucas should have handed the duty for the prequels off to someone else to be honest. They kind of took the menace out of Vader for me with that transformation scene from Episode 3. And I don't think the fall of Anakin was good enough, I have only watched Ep3 once but I remember feeling underwhelmed by the fall of Anakin, I wanted more. I would like to clarify though I'm neither a Lucas apologiser or a Prequel hater and I have to say I did enjoy some of the prequels, the Darth Maul fight was, overall, a well paced scene and I liked that. And also I have to put it out there - I liked the Ewoks!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarbNull Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Kind of hard to choose really. Maybe Jar Jar. I can say that I am very disappointed that he has not made the last three parts of the story. I think Episodes 7, 8, and 9 would nice to see. There is a rumor that something is in the works for after the 3D'ing of the movies, but it is just a rumor. Anyways for the Current movies I have decided to go with Jar Jar, like I mention above.

Spetulhu Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Kind of hard to choose really. Maybe Jar Jar. ) He's certainly up there fighting the Ewoks for first place. Ewoks... a bunch of furry stoneage savages take out the Emperor's best legion of Storm Troopers? I've never understood how the sad critters made it off the cutting room floor.

criminalheretic Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Anakin and Padme's dialog all through Episode III. "Anakin, stop shutting me out! Let me help you!" 3 second pause. "Hold me...Like that time on Naboo when it was just us and our love." I almost walked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Ultima Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 AotC, anything on Naboo or Tatooine. It works in theory, but in reality the entire prequels knew how they wanted to end in RotS, but not how to start/continue, and that's how it falls down (don't let my sig fool, I dislike the bad parts of the prequels too, but I just think that as a whole they get a lot of flak. Also, Christopher. Dracula-Saruman. Lee.) He's certainly up there fighting the Ewoks for first place. Ewoks... a bunch of furry stoneage savages take out the Emperor's best legion of Storm Troopers? I've never understood how the sad critters made it off the cutting room floor. Originally, IIRC, Ewoks were going to be Wookies, but were changed at the last moment. Personally I don't quite understand the problem with Ewoks, they're guerilla fighters, they used the element of surprise to take out some Imperials, and then suffered heavy casulties when the Imps caught on. ('Course, it assumes that the battle ends after the bunker goes down, RotJ has a problem in that it assumes that each of the battles end merely because the bunker/deathstar/barge are destroyed.) At least, that's how I always saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiebreeder Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The prequels have to many moments to list for me. Most of them I have noticed watching them over time and time again. It's totally a love hate relationship between me and the prequels. They have become like a train wreck, I don't want to watch, but I can't look away. That being said, one thing I hated from the first time I sat there in the theater watching TPM, was the fact that the Trade Federation droid army droids had personality. Really? Mass produced soldier droids as comedic relief? Soooo annoying! For me they are even worse than Jar Jar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaac Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Episode II Anakin (to Padme) - " I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too." Episode III Obi-Wan - "I have seen a security hologram... of him... killing Younglings." Padme - "No! Not Anakin! He couldn't..."

Padme was in disbelief that he turned to the Dark Side, not that he killed younglings. Well, maybe it was 50/50 on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanikk Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) All the romance seens between Anakin and Padme. Especially at first when Anakin is trying to flirt with Padme. Really really bad dialogue. I fast forward through the love scenes whenever I watch the NT. I seriously think its the worst romance in ANY movie series and thats saying a lot. All the lines were so awful and the romance was forced. I can't understand how Padme could go from "Get away from me" (Implied at first in episode 2)to "I can't live without you ani" (episode 3) in such a short time.

turjake Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 There is this thing called Star Wars holiday special. It is not technically a movie but it is generally considered so bad that I think it will win even this category. (Un)fortunately it is quite rare and might be difficult to find.

Tuscad Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. "Meesa called Jar-Jar Binks!" Those words introduced a character that changed the tone of the whole damn movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Zone Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The plotholes created by the Prequels, and having Greedo shoot first. Proof that George lost it completely, imo. "Meesa Jar Jar Binks. Meesa suck hardcore. Meesa sorry you paid good money to see meesa in movie." (The way the line SHOULD have been) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this post totally. I would have been happy with starting Episode 2 with them already in love. I would have bought it more than the drivel that happened on-screen.
