20 Most Ridiculous Moments In Star Wars

5. "I Don't Like Sand..." (Attack Of The Clones)

The Moment: Anakin attempts to romance Padme by flatteringly comparing her to sand.

Why It's So Ridiculous: Because there is a point in time where George Lucas felt like this dialogue was not only genuinely romantic, but actually something a human being would really say: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating...and it gets everywhere. But not like you. You're everything soft...and smooth."

It's by far the worst dialogue in any of the Star Wars movies and certainly some of the worst in any massively successful Hollywood blockbuster. The writing is atrocious and poor Hayden Christensen didn't stand a chance trying to make it convincing. Yuck.
