Mace Windu vs Palpatine

Added DiffLines:

* Palpatine is blasting Mace Windu with Sith lightning, and calls him a "traitor". Mace Windu replies with "he...is the traitor...AAAAHH-aaahhh-ahh!", which is supposed to sound like he's using all his effort to repel the lightning, but it just sounds silly.

* ''DarkEmpire'' has a part where Palpatine messes with Luke's dreams. There's a panel with Luke in a Vader mask clutching at it and screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOO!".

\n* The [[http://www.youtube.com/user/StarWarsAudioDramas#g/a Star Wars Audio Dramas]], which are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin audio dramas of the original trilogy]], are overall excellent. Pretty much every bit of the action has to be narrated by someone. To the writers' credit, they make most of it seem pretty natural - but there are definitely times when it seems forced. One prominent example is during the ESB one, while Luke wanders around Hoth after escaping the wampa.

* The recurring Anzati species are a race of menacing assassins who use prehensile tentacles which uncoil from pouches in their cheeks which go through their victims' noses and consume their brain matter. They also eat their victims' luck, which is narmily referred to as "soup". The result is lines like (from the first ''Essential Guide to Characters''):
--> "Only one employer complained about the Anzati's price. He drank his soup. The man died."

** The problem with Anakin's line is he ''acknowledges that it's his own point of view''. Nobody who's angry, hateful, like Anakin is supposed to be would say that. They ''would'' speak in absolutes. If Anakin had answered, "The Jedi are evil!" that would've been a much better line. Instead, you have Obi Wan, Mr. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" offering the "absolute" that Palpatine is Evil, and Anakin, who's supposed to be singlemindedly dark-sided, saying it's just his point of view. Just...''ugh''.

** That final scene should have been epic: Obi-Wan and Anakin dueling to the death, flaming lava shooting up all around them, Wagnerian brass fanfare blaring on the soundtrack... Then this stupid little toylike robot wanders onto the screen, delivers a series of whiny bleeps, and runs off.

\n* The 2004 DVD release of the old trilogy gives us Darth Vader, who used to be known as the epitome of evil and just downright badass, with a pink lightsaber. [[HilarityEnsued Hilarity ensues.]] It's either that or you are totally angry at George Lucas for releasing unfinished, half-assed crap like that. Also kind of a WallBanger, since they had the time to add and change all sorts of stuff, but they didn't have the time to check if the color correction looked good or not.

* 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. 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:

** Even before the "NOOOOO!!!", we see Anakin being operated on cut alongside Padme's birthing of the twins. Anakin's pained screams as they operate on him sound ''exactly'' like his typical cries of {{Wangst}}ing. Hearing James Earl Jones saying lines befitting Hayden's version of the character is pretty funny as well.


Added DiffLines:

** Palpatine's face post-disfiguaration is like this for the rest of the movie. Everytime they cut to his face during the Yoda face, he makes a leering crazy old man face and it is hilarious every time.

** In all fairness, he says it in response to Obi-Wan yelling "Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!" Obi-Wan's response "Well, then you are truly lost!" which is said with a bit of smug disdain, isn't much better, proving debate skills probably isn't very high on the Jedi academic catalog.

** And then there's the infamous "patticake" moment in the fight where the two try to Force push each other but look like they need to desperately [[HoYay hold hands]].
