    Man, that was so cheesy I loved it!

    How about Nuvo Vindi's "What's a life-form like you doing in a swamp like this?"

    To be perfectly honest, nothing really jumps to mind. Though that's probably how my brain works; when I do hear something terrible, my brain tends to block it from my memory. Thank you, brain! :)

    "Grievous, those battle droids are expensive" - Dooku to Grievous when the latter trashes a B1 battle droid in the Malevolence trilogy.

    I don't know if it's one of the worst, but it's one of the oddest. Aren't the normal battle droids supposed to be cheap to produce (at least that's what's been told before this episode) and that's why the Separatists has them mass-produced so why this line? It doesn't make sense.

    It's "now I take them apart." I liked that one, and I liked Obi-Wan calling Ventress "mah darlin'" too--I love their flirting.

    Worst ones: Artooey, Goldie, Stinky, and "Does anyone care what the Padawan thinks?"

    I second this. Though, for a baby, Stinky isn't too bad.

    Pretty much anything from TCW movie and the first half of Season 1.

    But some of the most memorable lines were from Season One.

    " Who's the youngling?"
    Ahsoka Tano: I'm Master Skywalker's Padawan. The name's Ahsoka Tano.
    Captain Rex: Sir, I thought you said you'd never have a Padawan.
    Anakin Skywalker: There's been a mix-up. The youngling isn't with me.
    Ahsoka Tano: Stop calling me that! You're stuck with me, Skyguy.
    Anakin Skywalker: [Rex bursts out laughing] What did you just call me? Don't get snippy with me, little one. You know, I don't even think you're old enough to be a Padawan.
    Ahsoka Tano: Well maybe I'm not, but Master Yoda thinks I am...

    It is like the dialog is just words put together with no thought given to what is being said or how it will sound a lot of the time. Most bits of dialog from TCW seem to have a six to eight words limit as well.

    Here is another example:

    The Daughter: Are you the one?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: Hello.
    Anakin Skywalker: Who are you?
    The Daughter: I am Daughter. Are you the one?
    Anakin Skywalker: The one what?
    The Daughter: I will take you to him.
    Ahsoka Tano: 'Him' who?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: Did you bring us here?
    The Daughter: Only he can help you. There is little time. Follow me. We must have shelter before nightfall.
    Anakin Skywalker: And we thought the plant was strange. How about this one?

    Anything that came out of Ahsoka's mouth before Season 3.

    Anything that came out of Jar-Jar's mouth - ever.

    Every unnecessary call-forward to RoTS and the OT.

    About 30% of Padme's lines - which is actually a big improvement on the prequel films, where about 90% of what she said was awful.

    The entire script of Secret Weapons.

    The example from Mortis is cryptic on the part of the Daughter, hence the other characters being confused and asking questions. Surely there are better examples of dialogue that doesn't make sense in TCW than that, something where the nonsensical aspect of it isn't a part of the scene.

    Daughter identifying herself as such was just awkward. Not so much bad dialogue as just terrible names for the characters. Wouldn't have been as bad if none of the characters identified themselves and only referred to each other according to their relationships.

    E.G. Son and Daughter call their father "Father," but Father doesn't refer to himself as such, and Daughter calls Son "Brother," Father calls his children "Son" and "Daughter," etc.

    It's just cringe worthy IMO to hear her say "I am Daughter."

    The "something sinister" quotes make me want to cry.

    Most of Savage's lines throughout Brothers.

    I love Brothers, but even I have to admit that it has too many uses of "brother" and "sinister."

    Dark Lord Tarkas You criticize AOTC's dialogue and yet you defend this gem?

    I hate the flirty exchanges between Obi-Wan and Ventress.

    Obi-Wan should never call a Sith wannabee "mah dahlin".

    Obi-Wan being joke-flirty with Ventress never bothered me that much. It doesn't seem out of place to me because Kenobi circa Ep. III is pretty heavy on taunting his opponents mid-fight and I take it as an extension of that. If he seemed to be genuinely flirting it'd be a different issue.
