WORST PART IS PROBABLY 1:17, 4:58 and 5:47


this movie has terrible dialogue. Really laughably bad dialogue. Some lines aren't even that bad, but the awful acting makes it sound even worse. Some acting isn't even that bad, but the awful lines making it even worse. Even the great Samuel L jackson cant save the film from its terrible lines.
However, i still consider this is an...ok film. Not as good as the originals of course, but better than the other prequels.. You gotta give it credit for its dark tone in some scenes and Ewan Mcgregor and Ian Mcdiarmid did good. The rest of the acting was pretty bad though. I'm not really sure as to what I thought of this. I mean the effects are cool and we got some cool action scenes, but we also have some horrible acting, dialogue, and big holes in the plot and logic.

Hayden can actually be a good actor, believe it or not. Watch Shattered Glass or Life as a house. He's gotta stay away from action and stick to dramas. Too bad after this movie, he decided to be in Jumper. ugh.

Some of these lines are really horrible, but a lot of this is nitpicking. Palpatine was actually quite sinister in this movie, as was General Grievous. And Ewan McGregor did a good job, I thought. There was some pretty awful dialogue in the original trilogy as well.

@squamish4244

I thought Mcdiarmind did a good job as Palpatine. Grievous was kinda a lame villain, I thought. And I thougt Mcgregor did too.

"Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder."

Would you consider that one of the bad lines from the original trilogy?

[squamish4244]

@AKenjiB Heh yeah. I'm sure you've read how Ford and Fisher threw around George's awful lines for hours until they could come up with the right delivery to pull them off. And I know Mark Hamill takes a lot of crap, but he had to play the difficult role of straight man for the whole series and I thought his acting improved continuously until the climactic throne room showdown. Not to mention that he was only told of the huge plot twist in Empire the day of shooting (correct me if I'm wrong).

@squamish4244

I heard that he Vader actually said something else during filming of empire strikes back and then Lucas got James Earl Jones to record the new line later and Hamill didn't find out until he saw the premiere. (But i also might be wrong with that)

[DiabolicHeart]

Twice the pride.. Double the fall.. Quadruple the dullness.

After all this, it seems quite odd that Vader says this to Obi Wan:

"We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master."

Not exactly the kind of thing you'd say to a guy who turned you into a triple amputee and left you to toast - unless Vader ignited himself by letting out a fart.

@AKenjiB nerf herder was awesome!

I love Star Wars, but to hell with remaking anything about it! Instead, take the story from where Return of the Jedi left off, or rather, quite sometime after... We need new heroes and enemies, better fighting scenes, and better acting & dialogue. I think Star Wars is more than overdue for a more serious tone. It should in many ways, rival the feel of LotR, in that I should be able to empathize with the characters and feel their situation. I felt more for Link in Zelda and doesn't even speak.

[PeteyPoison]

This is why Mr. Lucas is best passing on his legacy to someone else. As he's gotten older, the dialogue has gotten worse and worse (and so have the movies). You might be able to go back and "improve" all the special effects, but you'll never be able to cover the bad acting and cheesy dialogue, George!!

[peaceandmetal88]

Yeah, some of the dialogue in the original trilogy is cheesy, but at least those movies were good...well, Return of the Jedi less so, but still.

[JorEl7771]

Yes some of the dialogue was silly, but I really enjoyed Revenge of the Sith. I hope they make a movie about how the Sith was formed. It would be nice to know the history of how the wars began.

[CultClassicMashtah24]

A lot of the lines in the prequels could make even Meryl Streep quake with fear. Seriously, there is just no "right way" to say a lot of this crap. Everyone's trying their asses off, but the dialogue is just so wooden and useless that it makes the performances bad by default.

[Worsett]

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes" Really?

Yoda must have turned to the dark side some time before Empire Strikes back, then, lol: "Do or do not. There is no try."

[WallOfSound1990]

I admit that some of the dialogue is pretty crap and some of the acting is a bit suspect but it's not as bad as this video makes out. Some of these lines are alright. I think it's a great film. Especially towards the end when Dath Vader leads the army into the jedi temple. Quite powerful scenes

Harrison Ford said "This is where the fun begins" while flying the Millennium Falcon in ESB.

The Force is a bitch, man.
