You have a point there. But none of those lines (except maybe "Two fighters against a stardestroyer?!") approaches the absurdity inherent in so many of AOTC's lines. The script honestly feels like one of Lucas' rough drafts for Star Wars, as if he didn't have time to rewrite it. There are striking similarities; Lucas was very capable of the same types of corny lines and drawn-out plot, even in the 70's. But look what Star Wars became (after many, many drafts). I wish Lucas had started writing his prequel scripts about five years before he did; I think we would have a set of seriously different movies.
