WHile there are a number of scenes i dislike, the one that takes the cake is...

"Are you an angel?" I can deal with Jar Jar, and the love scenes, and order 66, and everything else. But that line and that kid drive me crazy. A nine year old using that line? It's not even the line, just the way he says it..... anyways.....

I really don't like the scenes between Anakin and Palpatine in ROTS. I just hate seeing how easily ANakin was manipulated and it upsets me to watch them.

The poorly edited second scene (when the loyalist committee arrives) in Palpatine's office.

Yoda (with teary eyes): "Padme, thank God your alive!"

Padme (looking through Yoda): "WHO THE HELL TRIED TO KILL ME?"

I've never liked the Scene where Anakin & Padme meet Queen Jamillia..the dialogue is flat & nothing of any real importance is discussed.

I can't stand this one either....."TELL US NOW!!!" I can't help but laugh.

I'm not a fan of the sappy love scene between Anakin and Padme by the fire in AOTC. It just seems way over the top and out of place. Had it been handled just a little bit differently, it could have come out much better.

Exactly. This is one of those places ( usually involving Padme/Naboo ) where everything spoken is a platitude without real relevance.

For me there are so many but the worst would include any scene where Jake Lloyd speaks or any scene with Jar-Jar.

Anakin and Padme romance scenes. Bleah. If GL thinks that's how you pick up a girl it's no wonder he has all that money yet still isn't married.



As for Jar Jar's senetorial screw-up... well, that's what you get when you entrust the fate of the galaxy to a purple dinosaur.

I don't particularly like Padme's death-by-sadness in ROTS, but even that is the height of realism when compared to just about any scene with Jar Jar in TPM, especially the unconscionably tedious audience before Boss Nass, and the screeching "all sinkin' and no power" scene at the Planet Core. cry

It's a metaphor for their ineffective government!


It's metaphor, certainly, but clumsily executed and grating to the senses nonetheless.

Anything with Jar Jar.

Qui Gonn's greatest failure as a Jedi was not letting the droid invaders kill him right at the start of TPM.

But by far... the worst is having to see that ridiculous excuse for a character rise up and implore the Senate to give Palpatine emergency powers. "Dellow fellagates..." Garrrr!!!! I can't stand it. Such a putrid excuse for a purpose to be given to an undeserving character.

For one... I feel deep sorrow for the people of Naboo if he's one of the best they can find to represent them in the Senate. Secondly... we are told that NO OTHER SENATOR IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING has the courage to suggest such a vote for Palpatine except for Amidala and yet everyone IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING (save for Jar Jar) knows that, in fact, she'd never call for such a vote. Every time I sit through AOTC and hear that and see Jar Jar rub his chin... I want to puke and am left wondering why Organa or anyone else in the room doesn't laugh at such a ridiculous prospect as Amidala voting FOR giving Palpatine the power to do whatever he wants.

But far worse... is having to see Jar Jar be the one to do it.

And as if GL is taunting me... he had to insert Jar Jar into ROTJ so now we can hear him say "Wesa free!!!!". No Jar Jar... "wesa" not free... "wesa" prisoners of your absurd existence in SW.

Ok, this post brought tears to my eyes... i hadnt laughed this hard in a while laugh applause laugh

are you sure that's Jar Jar? I think it's just a regular Gungan.
