10 Star Wars Scenes Everyone Wishes They Could Unsee

Despite all of George Lucas, Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christensen's best intentions, the record will always show that this particular Prequel tale of forbidden love became the galaxy's most infamous damp squib.

And while it's hard to land on just one moment that fans could've likely done without when sitting through the many laborious sequences of turbulent romance, with Skywalker's distaste of sand and Amidala's declaring of her lover breaking her heart amidst the flames both ranking pretty high in the cringe-inducing list of "love", both of those moments pale in comparison to the pair's hilariously intense exchange in the darkness on Naboo.

Everything from a rather creepy Jedi padawan claiming he's "in agony" being close to his love, to Padmé confessing that the couple would be "living a lie" if they kept their love a secret were enough to leave most reaching for their popcorn buckets for all the wrong reasons.

That being said, it can't have been easy having to re-dub the entire flick due to noisy cameras, as recently revealed by Ewan McGregor, with both lovebirds likely having to conjure up their forced attempt at some verbal chemistry almost entirely within a recording booth some time after shooting said flickering fire scene.
