The Mandalorian

[Rocktheworld]

The dialogue was better in the last three than in the prequels. The stories weren’t great, that’s for sure. The whole “the thing/guy we need is on this other planet” bit is just so ridiculous.

All I’m seeing ITT is canned arguments

Specific examples of port dialogue?

Did you watch them? Almost every word uttered by Anakin, and far too many by Padme. Here is a start.

This is as useless as me coming back and saying

“That’s how we’re gonna win this. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love.”

Is the worst piece of script in the entire saga and easily worse than every quirky line you can find from the first 6 movies

And not to mention every line Rian Johnson had Luke say in TLJ

I'm still going w/ "Hold me like you did at the lake on Naboo." Hands down.

Kelly Marie Tran's character was useless and shouldn't have been included in the sequels. But that character wasn't half as bad as Jar Jar.

Okay let’s break this down

Why, exactly, is this such a terrible line? Explain thoroughly please

I can break down how terrible my line

But I actually think, now, that “the Jedi need to end”, uttered by Luke, may be the worst line. You can cringe at some of the lines from the prequels; but the explicit character assassination is not only awful but frankly irrational and nonsensical as well.

The sand quote is the worst for me. Anakin doesn't like sand.

No. It doesn't require explanation.

Uh it does if this is supposed to be a serious dialogue lol because I don’t see the inherent awfulness (setting aside some cringe) of someone pleading for a moment by which they may reminisce about better, simpler times with someone they love

The sand quote is the worst for me. Anakin doesn't like sand.

Can we see the sand as a possible allegory for past trauma? His freedom with the word “hate” as foreshadowing?

See there can be utility and hidden content, views into a character’s character, through certain lines, despite how clumsily they may be executed. There may be some value there in a broader arc that makes sense about a teenage Jedi growing up.

Luke Skywalker saying “Go away, leave me alone to die, the Jedi need to go extinct” is so far beyond the pale in both rationality (what’s being done to Luke’s character) and execution (what is said on film to demonstrate that change).

Okay, fine. The line itself is clunky. The delivery was poor. The romance was awkward and unbelievable. The entire sequence w/ Padme and Ani frolicking together on Naboo was horrible. This line being a call back to that didn't come off as romantic, it was just sad. It just seemed immensely mockable, I thought everybody thought that.

Well maybe try to remember it was about the maturation of a child, made for children. So not every line is going to be Melville.

Disappointing analysis. We were talking about just the line, not about the romance itself; I was trying to give you that out, because when talking about each romance as a whole, anakin-padme thing still makes more than zero sense, which is what Kylo-rey was.
