History Narm / STARWARS

* Red Leader's horrified scream as Darth Vader shoots him down is undermined by the fact that it looks like he's ''trying not to laugh'' as he does so.
* 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. The scene even cuts to a shot of Leia peeking out of his coat, as if [[ViewersAreMorons the show didn’t trust viewers to realize Leia was hiding under there.]]

* 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. The scene even cuts to a shot of Leia peeking out of his coat, as if [[ViewersAreMorons the show didn’t trust viewers to realize Leia was hiding under there.]]

* 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, sounding less like a creature and more like a guy who's stubbed his toe. Audiences were quick to meme this moment, citing what the voice was trying to resemble, to the point where one person even compared it to Kramer passing a kidney stone in Series/{{Seinfeld}}.

* The initially deleted scene with Jabba was unfortunately forced by outside factors into being pretty laughable. First, the Greedo scene was altered 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 helps destroy the scene's efforts to portray Jabba as a terrifying crime boss that no one wants to be on the bad side of.[[note]](The other thing that hurts the scene in this regard is that Han visibly isn't treating Jabba as a serious threat, mostly because in the script Jabba ''wasn't'' supposed to be a terrifying crime lord with a criminal empire that spanned multiple systems, but rather a SmallNameBigEgo gangster who was still rich enough to make sure Han would be up to his neck in bounty hunters until he was paid off; Jabba's more familiar characterisation wasn't solidified until ''Return fo the Jedi'')[[/note]] However, this can fall under NarmCharm 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.

* During the end battle between Yoda and Dooku, Yoda screams while jumping. While it's meant to show Yoda exerting himself in the fight, any Internet user today will recognize this as the source for [[VideoGame/LegoStarWars LEGO Yoda's death sound]].

* "It’s a trap!"

** This is followed by one of the most awkward utilization of Yoda's StrangeSyntaxSpeaker dialogue in the whole franchise.

* When Darth Maul reveals himself at the end of the film, it’s a shocking moment, until he activates his lightsaber which makes the whole thing quite silly as he’s on a holo call with Qi’ra so him brandishing his weapon while she’s lightyears away looks like a pointless attempt at intimidation.

* Anakin's infamous tirade about Obi-Wan and killing the Tusken Raiders, including the women and children, which serves as the page image. It's meant as dark {{Foreshadowing}} of Anakin succumbing to the dark side, but the dialogue and Creator/HaydenChristensen's delivery makes it come off as {{Wangst}}y, particularly when he screams "I hate them!" A riff on "The Imperial March" plays to hammer home the not-so-subtle foreshadowing.

* It's revealed that Zorii and Babu Frik survived their home planet being blown up - and Babu just rises up in the former's cockpit with his loud, eccentric voice going, "Hey-heeeeyyyy!" It becomes a lot more comedic than triumphant at that moment.

** Ochi’s incompetence becomes funnier in hindsight when he is shown to be somewhat of a ButtMonkey in-universe according to the ''Darth Vader (2020)'' comics.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vd2iA5Tiis A deleted scene]] featured a squad of traitorous clones attempting to pass themselves off as Jedi, but their disguise only consists of cloaks with no attempt whatsoever to hide that they all have the same face. One wonders how the scene got as far as actually being filmed before the writers finally realized this was too silly, especially coming on the heels of a scene as dark as Order 66.

* Exclusive to the 1997 Special Edition, Luke’s scream while falling down the shaft falls into this hard. Not only is the scream itself incredibly goofy-sounding due to it being Palpatine’s death scream set to a lower pitch, which isn’t even remotely close to what Luke’s voice actually sounds like, but it was also edited in right after the iconic and incredibly dramatic Luke, I Am Your Father reveal, which means that its comical nature completely ruins the mood and makes Luke’s Driven to Suicide moment hilarious. To his credit, George Lucas seemed to realize how Narmy this was and removed it from the DVD release a few years later despite keeping the other Special Edition changes.

* One scene has Jar Jar talking to Queen Amidala and is supposed to sound serious. It doesn't work.
-->'''Jar Jar''': Gungans not dyin without a fight. Weesa warriors, weesa got a grand army.

* Chairman Chi Cho's [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/93/Chi_Cho_dead.png/revision/latest?cb=20120928031726 death face]]. It's literally ''impossible'' to take seriously.
