History Narm / STARWARS

* Chairman Chi Cho's [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chi_Cho/Legends?file=Chi_Cho_dead.png death face]]. It's literally ''impossible'' to take seriously.

* [[spoiler:Pong Krell's]] ''"oof!"'' when he gets fatally shot, as it sounds more like someone stubbing a toe.

* The initially deleted scene with Jabba was unfortunately forced by outside factors into being pretty laughable. First, the Greedo scene was inserted as a replacement so that the exposition about why Han is on the run could still get across. Some of the dialogue simply transplanted over wholesale, which means we're now quite noticeably getting the same lines twice almost back-to-back ("Even I get boarded sometimes. You think I had a choice?"). Additionally, Jabba was modeled on-set by a regular actor who would've had stop-motion footage superimposed on him; Han repeatedly walks around him during their conversation, which would be physically impossible under the intended circumstances. Thus, when the scene was completed for the Special Edition with CGI, the filmmakers were forced to have Han step on Jabba's tail to his discomfort, which destroys the scene's efforts to portray Jabba as a terrifying crime boss that no one wants to be on the bad side of. However, this can fall under [[Narm Charm]] because this shows how Han can be such a bad-ass to the point of stepping on the tail of a crime boss like Jabba.

* Palpatine's voice, lines, and acting throughout the battle with Mace Windu become distractingly throaty and cheesy instead of delightfully hammy, especially when he shouts almost incoherently:
--> '''Palpatine:''' POWER!!! ''UNLIMITED'' '''''POWER!!!'''''

* When Obi-Wan tells Padmé that Anakin has turned to the dark side, Ewan [=McGregor=] struggles to deliver his lines, covers his mouth like he's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SqTR0DorSw trying not to laugh]], and uses a distracting word that sucks out all drama:

* The mere existence of Porkins. Really, [[Creator/GeorgeLucas George]]? That's the name you give to the fat pilot?

* Obi-Wan sneaks Leia out of an Imperial fortress while he's dressed as an Imperial officer, with her hidden under a stolen coat. The moment is played for drama, despite Obi-Wan trying to pass past a garrison while pretending to be a four-legged officer who hasn't shaved in months. It can bring to mind the scene from ''[[Film/AustinPowers Austin Powers in Goldmember]]'' where Austin walks on top of Mini-Me's shoulders to infiltrate a submarine.

* In the original theatrical release, Obi-Wan scares away the Tusken Raiders from Luke by imitating a krayt dragon with a short, guttural yell. The 2011 Blu-Ray and later releases replace it with a rather goofy echoed "''woooooo!''", rather incongruous with the tone of the scene.

* Another moment during the Throne Room fight scene is when one guard swings elaborately.....and [[EpicFail misses and strikes the weapon of another guard.]] They then proceed to fight Rey and Kylo like it never happened.

* Reva attempting to interrogate Leia is supposed to be a tense scene since Reva could harm her, even if audience knows Leia is SavedByCanon. The problem is that the scene is written in a way that makes it hard to take seriously; Reva is basically trying to scare a child in a manner that doesn't make her look very threatening, but instead like he's trying to argue with a child over something mundane. It makes the scene not super threatening or dangerous because it feels like the directors were afraid of having Reva be harsher to a little girl, and so made her seem as restrained as possible from an acting angle. Due to that, and some rather awkward lines (such as Reva talking about hurting Leia in a way that makes it sound like she thinks Leia has never been hurt before), the scene isn't a tense moment for some, but an unintentionally comedic moment.

* The initially deleted scene with Jabba was unfortunately forced by outside factors into being pretty laughable. First, the Greedo scene was inserted after the Jabba scene was removed from the initial release so the exposition about why Han is on the run could still get across, with some of the dialogue simply transplanted over wholesale...which means we're now quite noticeably getting the same lines twice almost back-to-back ("Even I get boarded sometimes. You think I had a choice?"). And if that wasn't bad enough, Jabba was initially envisioned as a humanoid character, including Han walking around him during their conversation. The actor was replaced with a CGI model of the slug that Jabba ended up as, except Han walking around him was now physically impossible, so they were forced to instead have him step on Jabba's tail to his discomfort, which destroys the scene's efforts to portray Jabba as a terrifying crime boss that no one wants to be on the bad side of.

* After an absurdly climactic sword duel where they have been backflipping over lava, clinging to the side of crumbling structures, and keeping up their duel while an entire base crumbles around them, Obi-Wan jumps onto a bank and yells "It's over, Anakin! IHaveTheHighGround!" The way he's delivering the line [[GeoEffects makes it sound like]] his now slightly-elevated position has rendered him completely insurmountable. And then when Anakin declares he's going to try and Obi-Wan tells him not to, he does a complicated backflip that ends in Obi-Wan slicing off three of his limbs, which seemingly validates Obi-Wan's declaration--suggesting that the battle between two of the greatest Jedi ever was resolved by one of them moving a few feet up on a slope.

* Palpatine boasts that he is "all the Sith," and Rey retorts, "And I... am all the Jedi!" The pause between words is meant to be dramatic, but instead sounds like she was genuinely trying to come up with an eloquent reply before [[LameComeback giving up and mirroring his line]].

* The final episode has Darth Vader and Obi Wan using their Force powers to attempt to crush each other with nearby rocks. It works pretty well in Vader's case as he nearly crushes Obi Wan to death, but when Obi Wan returns the favor, he pelts him with a shower of small stones while delivering a dramatic speech at him, which ends up looking very silly.

* The rather infamous scene where Leia uses The Force to pull herself back into the ship. Her pose ends up making her less like she's saving herself and more like she's attempting to mimic a Superman pose. Not helping matters at all were people drawing comparisons and referencing ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2''. Also, the CGI quality takes a nosedive during the sequence, making her like a lifeless corpse that's floating towards the airlock for no reason.

* Palpatine boasts that he is "all the Sith," and Rey retorts, "And I... am all the Jedi!" The pause between words is meant to be dramatic, but instead sounds like she was genuinely trying to come up with an eloquent reply before [[LameComeback giving up and mirroring his line]]. It certainly doesn't help that the structure is oddly similar to a famous exchange in [[Film/AvengersEndgame a film that came out a few months prior]].

* The European Spanish ''Star Wars'' dubs are famous for having some excellent acting and making a good job of covering bad performances and plot holes in the franchise, but the one for ''Rogue One'', while having a lot of good points too, seems to be the inevitable occasional exception (which was followed by some similar weak points in ''The Rise of Skywalker'' as said above). Felicity Jones's voice actress, Lourdes Fabrés, generally does it well, but every time Jyn speaks in the Rebel council, it gets botched by suddenly sounding incredibly childish in key moments.

* The Mod gang's bikes in ''Chapter 3'', which are meant to evoke 1950s-esque hot-rod type vehicles. Almost everyone recognized it as a ShoutOut to ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'', the first film Creator/GeorgeLucas worked on before ''Star Wars''. However, with their bright, shiny, garish designs in a harsh desert environment, it just comes off as looking extremely goofy.

* It's hard to top a line as bad as "Somehow Palpatine returned" but they managed it when they had Kylo, po-faced, say the words "They sold you to protect you" without a hint of irony. Who says being protective of your daughter doesn't mean you can't make a little money on the side?

* Reva parkouring across the Daiyu rooftops in the third episode comes off as very silly due to the overly dramatic presentation combined with some very awkward cinematography and choreography, resulting in overblown motions for what is not a particularly difficult distance to traverse. Speaking of the cinematography, it also makes it look like she's covered a larger distance in a far faster time than she actually has, when in reality by the time the camera cuts back to her she's not even halfway to Obi-Wan's location.

* It kind of takes something out of an otherwise tense scene when Obi-Wan hears Leia screaming "Help! Somebody help, ''please!''" and then the very next scene (not ten seconds later) has her scream the exact same line in the exact same way (they probably reused the audio of her line, but it still sounds jarring).

-->'''Vader:''' You were warned… what defeat… would bring! I. Will Tolerate… your weakness… no longer!
