"I saw security footage of Anakin.......... KILLING YOUNGLINGS!"

I'm sorry but for some reason, Ewan McGregor's delivery of this just seemed flat out awful to me, which is surprising since he's a good actor. He seems to put his hand on his mouth to smother a laugh, like he's thinking "Why am I saying this?" Natalie Portman's reaction is a bit much as well. It seems like something out of a sitcom where you're supposed to laugh since the character's flat out lying.

It's also very bad storytelling (what a surprise), since we first see Anakin starting to kill them, then we se Obi-Wan watching the footage, then telling about him seeing it and later Padmé tells it again to Anakin. The security footage to me was a ridicilous thing anyways, too earthy except they had to do something and make it a hologram, how's that suppose to be better than in 2D?

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

I completely forgot that was an actual line in a movie until you reposted it.

The prequels in general are an extreme acting challenge. I mean you have an actor pretending to be the "victim" while shouting "you will die!" "Power, unlimited Power!" while attacking the guy he's trying to peg as bad.

The other actor in the same scene. He has to act like it's not completely obvious that the guy shooting lightning at him is the bad guy. He also has to act like he has to convice Anakin that yeah me, the guy getting shot at I'm not bad it's this guy. When it's obvious to anyone with eyes and, ears that Palpatine's a bad guy.

Meanwhile, in the same scene the other actor has to act like it's such a hard choice to choose who's evil or, not in that scene.

A hologram security footage could be very useful in casinos. Getting a close up view of the players hands with full visual control. Though in context of the movie it still makes no sense... Yeah you got a holo-cam in a hallway instead of 2D... Real useful there.***Sarcasm***

It would be easier to choose the best dialogue.  Less choices. :)

 

Galatians 2: 20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

That could be down to a simple case of one in universe term throwing the whole line.

If Ewan's line hadn't included the word "younglings" he might have been able to deliver it better.

"Changeling" was another dumb in universe word but it belongs on another thread.

So in the Jedi nursery they were changeling the younglings?  

Come on!  Someone had to say it!  :)

I still wonder what that was all about. The fact she was a 'changeling' had zero bearing on anything. I wonder if the idea had more to it in earlier drafts or something.

As a Space Opera term for a shape shifter it's as cliched as calling them shape...shifters...

At least he didn't call Zam a Face Dancer.

Anakin "you brought him here to kill, me Liar"

Obi Wan " You Were the Chosen one, you were supposed to bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness."

Anakin " I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee You!"

quite a lot to choose from for worst dialogue.

but my favorite dialogue that i wholeheartedly enjoy is "Nooo nooo noooo!" -Palpatine right before he electrifies Windu. so over the top.

YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM MEEEEE!

I think George's "directing" during this sequence consisted of instructing Hayden to furrow his brow as much as possible. Furrowed brow=evil.

This, a million times.

For an actor who did a pretty consistent good job throughout the PT, this is his absolute worst line. I remember hearing it in the theater and thinking,

Are you fucking serious?

 

It was the hammiest line ever and it completely devalued whatever that child murder scene had going for it storywise.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

END OF LINE
