I agree in principle, but that's not even the worst line in that movie.

EW has put together a list of what they deem the worst movie dialogue ever. Personally I think they missed more than they hit, but any list of bad dialogue that includes George Lucas cannot be tossed out.

However, I question their choice of an example.
THE MOVIE: Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (2005)

THE SCENE: Natalie Portman's Amidala tries to get her hubby, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), to give up his megalomaniacal Dark Side ways.
THE LINE: ''Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo.''


True, like most dialogue in that movie, that one did make me want to perform a self-lobotomy with a spoon. But it's not the worst line in the picture. No, that dubious honor has to go to

[After the massacre at the Jedi temple]
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Not even the younglings survived!


That is all. Thank you.
