* Many of Yoda's lines in the prequel trilogy are noticably less tolerable than his dialogue in the original films. This can be partly attributed to the fact that Yoda's voice was awkwardly changed to sound younger, and the rest is due to the fact that the new writers decided to just mix up random words in most of Yoda's lines to make him seem in-character. This results in some hilarious lines like:

This can be partly attributed to the fact that Yoda's voice was awkwardly changed to sound younger, and the rest is due to the fact that the new writers decided to just mix up random words in most of Yoda's lines to make him seem in-character. Whereas the original Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan was fully conversant with how other languages address the reversal of noun and verbs in an actual system, the new writers did not. This results in some hilarious lines like:



* An Ewok dies; his companion shakes him to try to wake him, and then starts mourning. This was considered hilarious by a large number of fans. The Ewok is now nicknamed 'Corpsey'.

Added DiffLines:

*** It doesn't help that Pernilla August and/or the director chose a death method that inspires unintended hilarity in its viewers. *GLAAACK!* She's gone. When she does her death flop, it's almost slapstick for second or two there.


Added DiffLines:

*** The hilarity of the scene is mainly provided by Yoda screaming like Shemp from the Three Stooges throughout the fight. Screw Jedi reserve, restraint, calm, you have to yell louder than Mel Gibson in ''Braveheart'' to win a lightsaber duel.


Added DiffLines:

**** Let's just say there are re-edits of that scene which are NSFW and which put a whole Brokeback Mountain spin on the scene we're pretty sure was unintentional. Then again given this is the same film series that gave us (un?)intentional BrotherSisterIncest due to writing backflips, this troper is not so sure...


Added DiffLines:

** It didn't help that Peter Cushing, playing despicable Governor Tarkin was, in real life, the sweetest tea-and-biscuits English actor Carrie Fisher had ever met. "He smelled like lavender," she'd say in later years.

\n* WHAT? No love for the death of Obi-Wan (specially because of Luke's reactions)? Comming from the NightmareFuel scene of the garbage shaft, it's just friggin hillarious!!! It starts with the "Ben?" line from Luke, then Obi-Wan smiles and lets himself being killed, evaporating into thin air, and then Luke screams "NO!". Finally, Luke hears Obi-Wan coming out from thin air and saying "Run, Luke! Run!" (which is HilariousInHindsight, thanks to ''ForrestGump''). The soundtrack (or the lack of it, for most of the scene) doesn't help.

\n* The DVD commentary for the original trilogy shows how Carrie Fisher saw the destruction of Alderaan: the planet simply vanishing while a guy on set yelled BANG! Naturally, it was a challenge for her to restrain herself from laughing.

*** The reason for this was probably that, in a deleted scene of the movie, Grievous kills Shaak Ti in front of Obi-Wan and Anakin. So that would account for the single lightsaber in his cloak, while the rest of his collection would be elsewhere. But they deleted that scene, so it does seem like that one lightsaber is his "collection."

There are so many Narmy moments in the ''StarWars'' series in general, and the prequels in particular, that we could almost rename this Trope "[[TakeThat The Wisdom of Anakin]]". To wit:
