20 Most Ridiculous Moments In Star Wars

1. "Nooooooooo!" (Revenge Of The Sith)

The Moment: After learning that Padme is dead, Anakin, reborn as Darth Vader, screams out "Noooooooo!" in anguish.

Why It's So Ridiculous: Even poor James Earl Jones couldn't make this hideously bad line work, and it's once again a testament to George Lucas' tone-deaf writing and direction that he didn't think people would find it howlingly hilarious.

What should be a heartbreaking moment that fully realises the creation of one of cinema's greatest all-time villains has instead been a running joke among fans ever since. There's some undeniably cool stuff in this scene, but it's ultimately derailed by that absurd line.

Are there any insane and absurd Star Wars moments we missed? Shout them out in the comments!
