Fun fact I discovered while writing this article: its a bad idea to watch the original Star Wars with a critical eye. With some movies, like The Matrix, a critical eye can make everything cooler, deeper, better. With Star Wars, the second you start tugging at threads the entire thing unravels. And I LOVE Star Wars. I love it all. I love the lame dialogue and the vaguely nonsensical plots, the design flaws and the random death. I dont want to ruin it by watching it with a super-critical eye. The things I do for you, dear readers. All 12 of you better appreciate this. One more thing: this list is not about the Extended Editions. If it was, all I would write about would be stupid animals and the singing lady in Jedi. So without further ado: 10 of the many moments that are stupid in the Original Star Wars trilogy. You know... the one we actually saw in theatres. I hate everything and I hope in vain that JJ Abrams is a slightly better writer/director than Lucas....
10. I was going to the Tashi Station to buy some power converters! - A New Hope
This one is infamously bad for so many reasons. Firstly, its a stupid thing to say. Who wants to pick up power converters? For fun? Seriously, Lucas couldnt think of a better line? Video games? Data cubes? Holo movies? Anything at all that we can believe an alien teenager would like to do? And secondly, the way Hamill delivers it, its like going to pick up power converters is the best thing in the universe. Seriously, the high pitch and the sadness, its truly ridiculous. Its one of those unintentionally funny things that sometimes makes it hard to like Luke Skywalker.
