  You know what IS bad dialogue? "Somehow Palpatine has returned".

  “This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause” is actually the best line ever

  You were right about one thing, master:<br><br><br><br>The negotiations <i>were</i> short.

  I think that &quot;I HATE YOU!&quot; is one of the greatest lines of dialogue ever delivered in a movie. Props to Hayden for that.

  If it wasn’t for the special dialogue my ringtone wouldn’t be “hello there”

  There&apos;s a reason over 90% of the prequels&apos; lines became legendary memes. There&apos;s magic in the dialogue.

  Everybody clowns on “I don’t like sand”, by what Anakin is really saying is “I was brought up as a slave in harsh conditions on a desert planet. While your memories of sand are of playing at the beach of your vacation home, mine were of toiling under the hot sun.” It just gets easy to overlook the real meaning when the line is taken out of context.

  For a guy who writes &apos;bad doologue&apos; he sure writes a lot of memorable and quotable stuff.

  Lucas&apos; dialogue works because it sounds legendary: like something from an acient tale of a long long time ago, far far away; not like a bunch of American guys from the 20th/21st century.

  Favorite line: Padme: So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

  One of the quotes that always makes me laugh is when Anakin says in the Geonosis arena &quot;We are here to rescue you.&quot; Or something like that and Obiwan looks up at his bounds hands and simply says &quot;Good job&quot; <br>Ewan McGregor&apos;s delivery is always on point!

  The dialog in these movies is one of the major reasons they&apos;ve become so timeless. There&apos;s no buzzwords, no trendy phrases, nothing that places them in a specific time in history. He takes what he wants the characters to say, and breaks it down into it&apos;s simplest form.
