What was the worst Star Wars idea ever?

I love star wars, but you gotta admit, there been some pretty wtf moments in them.

crap i forgot midichlorians, just realized it.

MOONPHASE · 08-14-2008, 02:12 PM

releasing clone wars on cartoon network and movie theaters

brother-sister makie out. I know it wasn't making out, but the kiss was a little...iky...Also the kid who played Anakin in Phantom Menace, that and trying to explain the force.

TheJesus · 08-14-2008, 02:15 PM

I think the last 3 Star Wars movies is the worst Star Wars idea ever.

statikcat · 08-14-2008, 02:17 PM

What about the C3P0 head exchange in Attack of the Clones?

Worst Star Wars Idea: making a poll of the worst Star Wars idea.

Just kidding.

The worst SW Idea? Lucas said 10% of his backstory was in Episode I, and another 10% was in Episode II, but he could only fit 60% in Episode III leaving people to fill in the blanks (i.e. Anakin was created by one of the two Sith Lords, either Plageuis or Palpatine). So worst Star Wars idea? The failure of story editing in the prequels.

But, hey -- enough of my yakkin'. Let's Boogie.

For me, the answer has changed over the years.

The first one was killing Boba Fett...then...about an hour later, it was the Ewoks beating Imperial soldiers with the Care Bear Stare. WTF was THAT.

Okay...so we moved on and years later we got the special edition with all the extra footage we heard rumors about and missed for 20 years.

Jabba uses the term "me boogie" WTF was THAT!?!?!
Greedo shoots first WtF was THAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!

20 years later...we were all painfully aware of Luke's relationship with Leia and while the scene was always in Empire Strikes Back, the naughty "get well soon" kiss she gives Luke on the mouth On the falcon after Bespin now creates a WTF was THAT!?!?! In the newly aware fans.

Do I really need to get into the removal of the yub yub song!??!?!

WTF!!!

Jar Jar.....too easy.

Abandoning the "used future" idea that made the original trilogy so unique. Everything in Episodes IV-VI looked like a pos, while episodes I-III were all shiny.

i actually like that idea.

kpkelley · 08-14-2008, 02:22 PM

Second on my list:

George Lucas' dialogue or the whole annakin and padme riding pigs "romantic" scene.

vassillios · 08-14-2008, 02:28 PM

Remember when he is flying around the factory.

Count Zero · 08-14-2008, 02:30 PM

Letting George Lucas write and direct again.

Beast · 08-14-2008, 02:30 PM

Worst Star Wars Idea?

All the crappy Expanded Universe novels.

I love the prequels myself. Nice to see things "Before the dark times, before the Empire."

CptGreedle · 08-14-2008, 02:31 PM

And Jar Jar has taken the lead in lane 1! Can he hold it and make a new world record? (been watching too much Olympics)

I can understand that if there was a disparity between the conditions on different planets, but everything was clean. Tatoine should have been a much darker, dirtier place.

The immaculate conception of Anakin Skywalker. There was no return from that.
