If you read "the infamous chest grope" thread you'll see where this came from. I'm just curious how many views we can get with a topic like that.

But, now that you're here, here's the question:
What's the worst line from each of the three films? My votes:

ANH: "look sir, droids (...twist...twist...twist...)" - Stormtrooper on Tatooine
ESB: "two fighters against a star destroyer?" - Unnamed extra on Hoth
ROTJ: "you rebel scum" -no credit necessary, we all know this one
If you're going to take forever, then I'm having a hotdog!

"You rebel scum" is the best line in the entire trilogy.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.
Hail to the king, baby.

Best line in the "so bad it's classically awesome" or best in the other way? Because while I think it's the worst line, it's also one of my favorites. All of these lines are favorite, quintessential Star Wars lines for me.

ANH "But I was going into Toshi staition to pick up some power converrrrttteeeeerrrrssss!!

My favorite is "It's impossible, even for a computer", from ANH. When me and my friends find out that doing something might be difficult, we say "it's impossible, even for a computer", quioting the most pessimistic guy in the star wars universe.

Yeah I love that one too, it's a great comic moment. Harrison Ford showed GL that you CAN have a good comic moment on a SW movie without having alien poo on the scene.

"Say, ric, I need some help here, could you get that box up there? I cant reach it."
"Thats impossible, even for a computer!"
"Would you STOP quoting Star Wars for a minute! Geez..."
"Uh... no, because... thats impossible. Even for a..."
"Yeah yeah, even for a computer, real mature. I'll get that box."

Ok, hands down, the most awkward line has to be in ANH, shortly after the Falcon arrives at the Death Star.
Vader orders the ship to be searched. Then he pauses and says "I feel something. Something I haven't felt in....", and then he dashes off like he's about to burst in to tears. It's just so out of character and out of place, it cracks me up everytime.

This isn't a line, per say.

But in ROTJ when Han is running from the shield generator yelling "Move!" and jumps down on the ground some few meters away from it.
Then it cuts back to show a HUGE explosion, covering a great distance.
Cut back to Han who is just barley a few meters away, smiles, and dashes off.

Unintentionally hilarious.

My stance on revising fan edits.

- Yeah, that has always bugged the bejesus out of me. Han and the rest of the crew running a "few metres" away from the sheild generator and everything´s just dandy. No hellfire or nothing. Surely they would have been fried like a pork on a stick being where the were. It a HUGE explosion! But... what the hey!

As for bad dialogue I´ve always thought Obi-Wan´s mumbling line at the deathstar control room (where the gang first arrives) is very silly. He mumbles: "Good-plug-in-he-should-be-able-to-interpert-the-entire-imperial-network." Now why did he have to say it so darn fast, it sounds just like some mumbo jumbo!

peace,

Rebelscum

Can I be picky here. He was running away from the back door to the shield shit. What we see blown up is the main shield shit.
Han and co were at the back door to the shield shit!

Just the clear that shit up

good point... when entering the back door they had a scene cut out where they walk down a number of corridors...
the sheild which we saw blow up could have been further away...
just my thoughts...

Worse line in the prequels: every single one of them.

See my thread on Cringe Factor for the worst line of the prequels!

It has to be Anakin, "My heart is bleeding, hoping that kiss will not become a scar". As if the line doesn't suck arse enough, the way he says it, is just PAINFUL.
