10 Most Inappropriate Moments In Star Wars

10. An Awkward Naboo Exchange Was Very Nearly Even More Inappropriate - Episode II: Attack Of The Clones

There's actually a reason why George Lucas routinely forced his actors to let loose some of the most painful dialogue ever uttered by a human being over the course of his Prequel Trilogy. When he allowed his stars the freedom to explore and improvise a touch, some rather inappropriate shenanigans had a habit of trickling onto the Star Wars scene.

That's according to Padmé Amidala actor Natalie Portman, at least, with the Academy Award winner explaining in an extract from the The Best of Star Wars Insider Volume 8: The Saga Begins that the scene involving herself and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker flirting over floating fruit on Naboo took a turn the minute they were allowed to go off-script a touch:

"I don’t think George (Lucas) was satisfied with the dialogue he had written, because he told Hayden and me to just improvise — which was amusing, because it got inappropriate very quickly."

That being said, the sight of the two cheekily quipping at one another likely wouldn't have been any more inappropriate than the disturbing visual of Anakin intensely claiming he was in agony and tormented by his eventual lover later down the road.

But with the finished scene not exactly overflowing with raunchy dialogue, it's clear Lucas opted to leave most of said "inappropriate" ad-libs on the cutting room floor.
