    That's simple ....

    BEST
    Leia : "I love you"
    Han : "I know!"

    WORST
    Anakin : "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating,
    and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's
    soft... and smooth..."

    Best:

    Vader : There is no conflit.... (the music as he says that line)

    Worst:

    I actually cant think of the worst


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    BEST:

    Luke: "Your overconfidence is your weakness"
    Emperor: "Your faith in your friends is yours!"

    WORST:

    Qui-Gon Jinn: "I don't sense anything"
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: "It's not about the mission master, it's something elsewhere... elusive"


    I'm sorry, but just the way Ewan says "elusive" like that... Every time I see it I cringe... Alec is spinning in his grave! Ah, I spose Ewan got better in Episode II....

    Nice quote, i like that one!
    And how do you suppose he got better...??? Even in the ad for the next one his acting is bad and that is the trailer cuts! :confused:
    e.g:
    "We are at war Anakin"
    "You were the chosen one!"
    etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Well, i must first say that ewan is one of my fave actors - it's just that in the first one a) his accent is sh*t, and b) he has real trouble adjusting to acting with green/blue screens (So did Liam Neeson, he also had a 'mare, tbh).

    But in the second his accent's better, and since he's alongside Hayden on screen most of the time, he looks like God by comparison!

    LOL! I guess so... working alongside that kid would have made Bill Pullman look good! God bless him, he tries!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Doper Than U


    Best line :

    Leia : Would it help if I got out and pushed??
    Han : It might!!

    Worst : Anything said by Jar Jar Binks. Oh.. and "master" by E.McG. Once was enough frankly.

    Worst : We used to hit swap rats in beggers canon back home, they cant' be mroe than 2 meters".

    The reason i don't like the line is that Luke lived on a Desert Planet... not a poxy swamp ...

    Sorry to be pedantic, but the actual quote is:
    "I used to bullseye womp rats in my T16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters."

    womp rats, not swamp rats.

    Oh star trek so many fun!
    I watch this show obsessively! Only watching it last night and some great lines:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Plenty of good lines but for bad I can't help thinking of Luke telling Han he wasn't missing anything when he couldn't see. "I grew up here you know". Eh I think Han was the one who picked you up here if I recall.
    No line but when Amadal kisses Anakin after landing on that beast it just looks and feels so wrong. Lucas' attempt to recapture the "For luck" sequence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 978 ✭✭✭bounty


    watched episode 1 again recently.... jar jar is so utterly **** its amazing

    That was a bit corny alright, but in fairness who's to say just because Luke met Han in a bar in MosEisley automatically meant that that was where he grew up? For all Han knew perhaps Luke was just passing thru town with Kenobi.

    Also anyway by 'here' perhaps he meant the specific area of the planet, rather than just Tatooine in general.

    EP3 has a few but alor more gay ones,in preview ppl were laughin at stuff that i mean,u might smirk at, but u wudnt luagh out loud wrecked my head, but the best line ,i was hopin wud be in it,wasnt,was in the book, when a certain code is given to the clone troopers, and commander cody gives obi-wan his light saber back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,859 ✭✭✭Duckjob


    The best ones (all from the original episodes):

    1. [Emperor]: Young fool! Only now, at the end, do you understand!

    2. [Luke]: "I don't believe it!"
    [Yoda]: "That, is why you fail"

    3. [Vader]: Your feelings are strong... especially for *Sis-tah*


    The worst ones:

    Every word out of that steaming pile Jar Jar.

    I forgot about that one. That line is great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    Easily the best line :

    "I find your Lack of Faith.....Disturbing! "


    The worst?

    Anything from the mouth of that Atrocity Jar Jar Binks. I pray to Jeebus that Sidious wreaks a terrible, terrible vengence upon him.

    That's scary... You know it IS all fictional, right?


    Actually thought of a few more, coutesy of the emperor:


    <patting light sabre>
    "You want this, don't you?"

    "I can feel your ang-ah!"
    "Strike me down, I am unarmed"
    "Now, fulfil your destiny and take your fathers place at my side!"

    It has to be in episode IV when some sap challenges Darth Vader -

    Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed,the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.

    Sap: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways Lord Vader, your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you congure up the stolen data tapes or given clarevoyance to find the rebels hidden fortress......

    He's cut short when he Darth Vader begins to strangle him.....using the force of course.

    It's right at the point where Lando reveals his betrayal to Han and Co. Lando leads them up to a room. The doors slide open and there is Vader on the inside standing at the head of a long table. Han instinctively draws his blaster and gets a shot off which Vader blocks with the palm of his hand. Vader then uses the force and pulls the blaster out of Hans hand..

    That list seems fair. ESB gets 3 of the top 5 moments. The prequels don't feature at all in the top 5.

    Luke: I'll be careful.
    Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!
    Obi-Wan: [intervening] This little one's not worth the effort. Now come, let me get you something.

    Voice: We're sending a squad up.

    Why are there so few bad lines in episodes 4, 5, 6.. when 1,2,3 are packed with them?

    That's right, Lucas is senile now and he writes he own movies these days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Jim_Are_Great


    Best:

    [Yoda] - "No ... no try ... Do, or do not. There is no try"

    or

    [Luke] - "Jabba, this is your last chance. Free us or die."

    Worst:

    [Luke] - (after Leia says something about nobody caring about something or other) "I care". It just sounds out of place and poorly delivered.
