George Lucas, stop – Ok? Just stop doing whatever you’re doing because when I think of bad dialogue (possibly the worst dialogue to be given such a big budget and have such a wide audience) I think of you. When I thought of doing this post there was a particular scene that came to mind from that soap opera that masquerades as a sci-fi film Star Wars Episode III.
This is taken from the script:
- PADME stands in the balcony brushing her hair. ANAKIN leans against the wall, watching her lovingly…
ANAKIN: You are so beautiful!
PADME: It’s only because I’m so in love . . .
ANAKIN: No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.
PADME: So love has blinded you?
ANAKIN: Well, that’s not exactly what I meant . . .
PADME: But it’s probably true!
They laugh.
And how can we forget that classic line from Darth Vader:
“Noooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Although, his ability in script writing aside, he is still a multi-millionaire…(let this ellipsis trail off like the famous opening credits…
Although that is a really bad scene, you’re right, he is pretty shit. Although I don’t think he’s bad at coming up with the stories. Willow ,Indiana Jones and Labrinth I think, all give credit to him for coming up with the story. Although this may simply have been.
(George Lucas at dinner party with Ron Howard discussing Willow)
GEORGE: Say Ron, I have this great idea. It involves a dwarf a bad guy and erm (racks his brains) erm…magic, yeah let’s be original and go for some magic, that’s always a winner.
(George Lucas at a dinner party discussing Indiana Jones idea with Spielberg)
GEORGE: So I have this idea (Spielberg rolls eyes) It’s about this cool guy who has a hat and (looks about Spielberg’s house…sees the ring master whip) and a whip. He finds, I dunno, some really cool stuff and has an adventure…oh and there could be some magic in it?
SPIELBERG: NO. I’ve got a better idea.
GEORGE: But can I still have my name on the credits?
SPIELBERG: (pats George on head) Sure…
WHAT ABOUT LABRINTH(I think he may have been high on this one)
GEORGE: So I have this idea for another film. It’s about a girl who gets whisked into a labrinth by David Bowie.
(DIRECTOR, NOT IDEA WHO IT IS): David Bowie, what?
GEORGE: I bought his latest album last week. Yeah, so she goes there and get this, now this is the cool bit, there’s a dwarf.
DIRECTOR GUY: Are you sure this isn’t Willow?
GEORGE: No this one is a different dwarf.
DIRECTOR GUY: oK. (grimmaces)
I guess you get the drift. Sorry I was whisked away to a universe far far away just then…
(I hope my dialogue was more satisfactory, although probably not…)
