George Lucas: King of Wooden Dialogue

George Lucas's dialogue is probably the most maligned aspect of his style (and that's saying a lot!). But what if that's just because people are hearing it the wrong way?

You were right about one thing, master:



The negotiations _were_ short.

[HarleyKita]

One of the quotes that always makes me laugh is when Anakin says in the Geonosis arena "We are here to rescue you." Or something like that and Obiwan looks up at his bounds hands and simply says "Good job"
Ewan McGregor's delivery is always on point!

[zdvxr]

If it wasn’t for the special dialogue my ringtone wouldn’t be “hello there”

[gnbman]

"You write without a doubt the worst dialogue I can recall."

George Lucas: "But you can recall it."

[JoHolbr]

I have always loved Anakin and Obi-Wan’s banter.
Obi-Wan: “Do you know how to pilot this thing?”
Anakin: “Well given the circumstances, I would say the ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant. Strap yourselves in.”

Favorite line: Padme: So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

[NimTV]

My favorite lime from the prequels has to be “you were my brother Anakin. I loved you!” This is probably the most emotional moment of the entire trilogy, and is delivered as perfectly as it could possibly be by Ewen McGreggor

[iansin]

“This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause” is actually the best line ever

[arno.valtonen]

My top 3 are:
"This is where the fun begins"
"Another happy landing"
"Hello There"

[unbabunga]

Let's be honest, it's one of the most quotable franchises in history. He's doing something right

[RockoEstalon]

You know what IS bad dialogue? "Somehow Palpatine has returned".

[justinthomas]

I think that "I HATE YOU!" is one of the greatest lines of dialogue ever delivered in a movie. Props to Hayden for that.

[AnzuBrief]

Favorite line: “So this is how liberty dies . . . with thunderous applause". This phrase is not only chilling and heartbreaking in the movie context, but can be applied to the world today. I just love it.

[CoolSmoovie]

That, “If droids could think, there’d by none of us left would there?” Parallel with the Clones just blew my mind.

[rebekah.]

I actually liked Padme's dialogue in the "couch scene." I thought the whole point was that she was trying to convince them not to get involved in a romantic relationship, and she just went into "Senator mode, " speaking as if she were addressing the Galactic Senate and persuading them to see her point of view. I actually thought she was speaking this way to convince herself more than she was trying to convince Anakin.

“I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.”

Greatest tongue-in-cheek line in the series.

[szeltovivarsydroxan]

There's a reason over 90% of the prequels' lines became legendary memes. There's magic in the dialogue.

[ayushsinghpawar]

The Anakin's "I HATE YOU!" still gives me chills

[Deuteromis]

One thing people ignore is that Anakin's 'sand line' is a direct contrast to Padme's line about the water.

[jmace]

The dialogue of Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones perfectly captures what it feels like to be a guy on a date. It is immensely relatable!
