Worst Dialogue from the OT. — Page 4

He only really spoke that badly in the PT, which... *shudders*

He should have just said, "Leia is your sister."  On your deathbed is a good time to be efficient with words.  Besides, it's kind of pointless drama anyway, since the question of who the other Skywalker is gets resolved almost immediately when Luke talks to Obi-Wan.

How about Yoda's "There is another Sky...walker" line, shouldn't he have said "another Skywalker there is"?

I don't think it's bad dialogue, and I can see why it's dramatically better to end the sentence with Skywalker, but it's kinda funny to think about.  Maybe he was so sick at this point he couldn't speak correctly anymore.  I mean uncorrectly.


Which reminds me of the german version of the novel of ROTJ:

"There is another Sky..." was translated with "Es gibt einen anderen Himmel". So "sky" was translated with what it actually means...

If true, I'm going to go with "No.  Nooooooooooooooooo!" Return of the Jedi: 2011 Edition.

Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

If Yoda had not mentioned that there is another Skywalker, Luke wouldn't have asked Obi-Wan about it, and Obi-Wan would not have said anything about it to Luke, and then Luke would not have realized that Leia was his sister.

You call that pointless?

Well they did omit Obi Wan's longer narrative that mentioned More about Anakin, and that Owen Lars was his brother.

It is in the novelization though i doubt it was ever filmed, i am not even sure it made its way into the shooting script.

I do know it was something Lucas, Kasdan and Marquand talked about in the  sessions where they worked on the story.

Hopefully the transcriptions of those verbal story brainstorm sessions will be on the book by rinzler on ROTJ.

Anakin Skywalker, who was Owen Lars' brother, was one day my apprentice, helping me to defeat the enemys.

I meant Owen Lars as Obi Wan's brother not Anakin's.

Read the Jedi novelization that was canon before Lucas changed it in attack of the clones by making anakin the step brother of Owen, and that whole cliegg side story and dumb part  where Anakin's mom dies.
