“Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our speciality.”

I always hated that line because it implies that fighting sith lords is like one of the jedi things that jedi do. Based on the original trilogy alone it seems like Darth Vader only has a lightsaber because he’s a fallen jedi, but the prequels changed that and now I’m rambling…

Anyway yeah I get it’s like a joke, but like most of the “funny” lines in the PT it comes across as cringe-inducing.

You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll kiss three bucks goodbye!

The other silly thing about that line is that, going by the movies, the only Sith lord the two of them last fought was Dooku in AOTC…and he kicked their ass. So getting beat was their only “specialty” up to that point.

There’s so many lines between Anakin and Padme that I could choose from, but these are the ones that stick out in my mind:

“You are so beautiful.”
“It’s only because I’m so in love.”
“No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.”
“So love has blinded you?”
This is the one scene I consider skipping whenever I rewatch that movie. It’s mercifully short, but that dialogue is painful. And it doesn’t even make sense either, it’s like a line or two got cut.

But the more baffling one is this one:
“Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love. No politics, no plotting, no war.”
The first sentence is already bad, but then it has to go the extra mile. No politics, no plotting, no war? Did Padme get knocked on the head and forget everything that happened in the previous two movies?

All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph!

What I found terrible was her excusing him killing Tusken children as animals, and then she couldn’t believe Obi-Wan about the younglings.

That was also pretty ridiculous. And how you can tell Ewan McGregor is stifling laughter when he says the line “I have seen a security hologram of him killing younglings.”

“Love won’t save you. Only my new powers can do that.” is the single worst line in all of Star Wars, bar none.

Do not DM me for edits. Whatever you’re looking for I don’t have it.

^ This.

Followed by “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.”

One of my favorites. The over the top “I hate you!” is pretty bad imo.

Love won’t save you Padme, I forgot about that line. I’m dying laughing that is so bad.

This 110%. I remember feeling my heart sink to the pit of my stomach the first time I watched that scene. I was still too young to quite recognize the abysmal quality of the dialogue/delivery in TPM & AOTC when I first watched them, but I was finally old enough when ROTS rolled around, and this exchange was a doozy.

Gods for some, miniature libertarian socialist flags for others.

Oh, I just thought of another one. When Mace Windu finds out that Palpatine is a Sith Lord from Anakin, and he says “we must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive” as he walks SLOWLY across the landing platform. That one always makes me laugh.

Yeah they can’t run because there’s no set.

Even though I know the film is molded after the style of 1930s cinema, and cheesy dialogue was part of that, the scene at night with Anakin and Padme discussing their future as parents still disturbs me a bit. I don’t think it was really the writing, either, but maybe the way Hayden and Natalie delivered it…I just can’t be sure.
