10 Star Wars Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators
4. The Corny Dialogue - Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones
As a sequel to The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones didn’t particularly fare any better with how it was received. Though just entering the realms of fresh with 65% on the Tomato-meter, 14% more than its predecessor, the audience score dropped by 3 to a still-rotten 56%.
Though several years had passed between the movies, and Anakin Skywalker grew to be played by Hayden Christensen, fans were still as unimpressed with his performance as they were with Jake Lloyd. In fairness, the script in parts didn’t exactly leave the young actor with much of a chance.
There is a particular scene that is still ridiculed today, between Anakin and Padmé on Naboo. This comes after they have shared a kiss, as Anakin pours his heart out to the woman he has loved since he was ten years old and knew her for a few days.
The delivery isn’t great, but it’s hard to imagine any actor taking the words given to him by George Lucas and making them sound good. The writer/director himself has since described the dialogue as “pretty corny”, which in the opinion of most would still be considered far too generous.
