The only cool thing about that scene was the sounddesign.
yeah, when i went to check out receivers and speakers, I would bring the dvd with me as a test.
A lot of people don't like this scene for various reasons:
-rehash of ESB (lucas covers his ass by talking about poems and stanzas and apologists fall for it)
-jango did everything to blow up the ship and it still didn't blow up
-the seismic charges
I think the real problem was it was yet another meaningless action sequence - there was no real change in plot before or after. at least in the droid factory scene, it led to anakin and padme being captured. at least it was more fun than TPMs horrifc planet core sequence.
anyway, so many lines of dialog are bad its hard to come up with one :(
i'll go with padme:
"perhaps with merely your presence, the mysteries surrounding this threat will be revealed. Now if you'll excuse me, I will retire"
it shows that even when the dialog isn't gag inducing, it still sucks.
how about just saying "maybe you'll catch the assassin in the act and that'll be the end of it" !?
its hard to classify the dialog between just rotten dialog and dialog thats illogical. for example, when mace asks obi-wan if he thinks the cloners are part of the plot, obi-wan say "no master, there appears to be no motive" WTF!? padme is part of the OPPOSITION to create an army!! they would have every motive in the world to kill her!! or when padme asks anakin "whats wrong, ani?" um...his mom just got killed?
for a fun drinking game, count how many times the word "archive" is used..or "my young apprentice/padawan". Poor Ewan was right- the greatest acclaimation you can give to Alec Guinness is that beyond all his great roles, he managed to create a memorable performance in spite of lucas' destructive incompetance.
based on zombies book, jonathan hales was brought on to co-write the script but there was so little time left, its unlikely he changed much. so he was either put in a position to fail, or this was a PR move in light of TPMs backlash.
