Oh dear. Your OT picks are ridiculous. If anything feels forced, it's these choices.

But but strong independent wahman!

Leia slapping Poe from TLJ. We had just seen a very Star Wars scene with unbeatable odds, heroic sacrifice from a woman bomber, and we were pumped. Then Leia (who we trusted and loved) ruined the emotion and confused the audience. I was still asking my wife why she did that as we left the theatre and the answer appears to be that 1) Poe needs to learn to follow orders (which goes against the spirit of the rebellion) and 2) surprise the audience for the sake of surprising the audience.

Why would you want to see the hero join the dark side? She isn’t anakin.

The ''worst'' scenes are easily found: whenever there is a female lecturing a male on how he should behave...otherwise, she will beat him with her superior martial or intellectual skills. Pandering shite.

For me, it’s Rey Skywalker. I might’ve cursed aloud when that happened. I’m a Jedi, I’ll just change my name from Mary Sue to Skywalker. Beeeeeeep.

It's funny how its a struggle to find bad scenes from the original trilogy, but there are too many to choose from with the sequel trilogy.

I basically have a tragic backstory for a character that's similar to a character from a manga called Ubel Blatt but when it comes to the world, the character's journey, personality and eventual destination it's all very very different. Including the primary villains. Taking on a more Count of Montecristo motif. I guess I'm wondering of this is enough. 😅

Personally it’s ’Credits will do fine’ ‘No they won’t’ This only makes sense if you had already watched A New Hope. In that movie our first introduction to the mysterious powers of the Jedi was the Jedi mind trick ‘These aren’t the droids you are looking for’. The scene with Watto not only undermines the Jedi but doesn’t make sense for newcomers watching in chronological order. For the same reasons I can’t stand that the first time force lightning is shown, Obi Wan just casually blocks it with his lightsaber.

It was alright. But where was Snope this entire time if there are only ever two Sith?

Ok, 1 thing i did like in the sequels was star killer base, A WHOLE PLANTE AS A DEATH STAR that is just so cool

Poe domeron is a jagged fel knock off. Finn is a knock off of Finn Galfridian and Kyle katarn. Rose is copy of jan ors. Kylo Ren is a copy ben Skywalker, Darth Caedus and darth revan in name, personality and design.

I want to add a scene when Luke reveals to Leia that Darth Vader is there father. Her reaction is focused on Lukr while it should impact Leia a lot more. Specially when the Empire had blown up her homeplanet not long before.

Ok for a new hope the best argument I can counter with is that Leia is a princess, and it was mainly something I felt was her idea, that the Luke and han almost look at each other with a sense of being out of place I think is intentional

“Don’t bring Palpatine back.” Correct, BUT if you are going to do that, you need to show Palpatine was a puppet all along for an even stronger villain behind the scenes. Bringing him back as a copy or clone is a continuing threat if you do not eliminate the original, not yet revealed villain. It’s very much an “old time serial” concept. The guy who you think is the ultimate villain all along isn’t the final boss.

Somehow they survived the camps and took over hollywood and somehow we didn't notice.

Nah rey is Luke from wish

‘77 Star Wars has no bad scenes but ‘90’s cgi onwards: Jabba’s tail getting stood on. Empire has no bad scenes even with the extra cgi. ROTJ has a bunch of bad dialogue but it’s a far better film than is given credit for. ROTS turns Yoda and The Emperor into Tom and Jerry pulling the real drama away from Obi-Wan and Anakin. The Phantom Menace has lots of silly scenes but is mainly a bit of disposable fun. AOTC is one long terrible series of mostly awful scenes. The Disney era films are too busy appeasing the Chinese authoritarian CCP to be given any credit at all. But they are also incredibly badly written and insufferably sloppy.

I really love your videos. I want to get myself Entry Wounds for Christmas. What platform or outlet would you prefer I use?

A New Hope, you didn't mention that Chewie didn't got a medal.

Frak this noise.

It's so sad that one of the greatest franchises in movies ended not with a bang, but with a whimper, as Disney stretched out the lore far beyond what it should be and, like The Simpsons, made the franchise into a zombie that will never truly die, all in the name of making money.

Or in other words: the story that was invented by a guy who came up with “eewoks” because they’re like small “wookees” but not as bright, Was sold off to the company that traditionally STEALS OTHER PEOPLES FUCKIN STORIES TO MAKE ANIMATED FEATURE FILMS OUT OF BECAUSE DISNEY HAS DONE NOTHING BUT BE A COMPANY RUN BY THE BIG NOSED PEOPLE WHO CANT BE NAMED NO WONDER ITS NOTHING BUT AWFUL RIP OFFS

Hot take: luke tossing away anakin’s lightsaber in TLJ was a good scene

Your main criterion for picking these seems to be plot which is valid. However, I would want to pick a different A New Hope scene mostly because John Williams's Throne Room.

Wrong on the first one. The rebels were always stately. Wrong on the second one. You are exhibiting presentism. In 1980 the “swearing” fit.

The issue of the awards ceremony at the end of the original only became a problem when Lucas realized he could make more films. Without more films, it’s a fine conclusion as the threat has been eliminated, but the original Death Star was to be destroyed in the end of the whole story, and he thought he would never get to make another film, hence the condensing of the story into one film and the eventual second Death Star.

I actually think there was a solid setup for the droid control ship scene in Episode I. EC Henry made a video a while back arguing that the podracing scene was meant to build up to the droid control ship. Anakin’s pod racer and the Naboo starfighter were intentionally designed to look somewhat similar to visually cue the audience in on why Anakin was able to fly the latter. Also, we see during the race that Anakin is very good at reacting quickly under intense pressure; he manages to fix his pod racer no less than three times throughout the race, including one time where the cockpit is spinning wildly out of control. And of course Anakin is clearly excellent at navigating incredibly tight spaces at high speeds. I honestly think the main problem with the scene is the execution. While a lot of people can probably buy Anakin being able to quickly navigating his podracer’s controls to fix an critical issue, doing the same thing in the Naboo starfighter kinda comes off like he’s just mashing buttons until he gets lucky. On top of that, being good at navigating hazardous terrain at high speed doesn’t directly translate to avoiding fire from the droid starfighters and the turrets on control ship. Most importantly, even though we’re meant to believe Anakin does this due to the force, they don’t really give any visual clues to this (like how Luke in the OT would close his eyes when he reached out the force). Here’s what I would do to fix it: First, when Anakin’s pod catches fire during the race, have Anakin close his eyes and takes a breath briefly before going into a flurry hitting switches and levers, which fixes the problem, which indicates he used the Force to isolate the problem and fix it. Next, have him repeat this same action when attempting to start the Naboo Starfighter, which explains visually explains he’s using the Force to fly a ship he’s never seen before. Next, when he makes it to the droid control ship, have him INTENTIONALLY fly into the only cover that’s available: the hangar of the control ship. You could even have the other pilots comment on how insane this looks, even though we know this is more in Anakin’s skill set. Finally, when Anakin reaches the reactor, have him acknowledge that it looks important before firing his torpedos at it (rather than him randomly shooting it). Of course, you can keep the flight out of the control ship the same as before. Now you have a much more coherent scene that relies far less on dumb luck and much more on Anakin’s incredibly strong connection to the force, which should be the focus in the greater context of the trilogy.

How dare you talk crap about Anakin for Kylo 🤦‍♂️ smfh

I wouldn't know what the worst scene is in ALL the Star Wars movies because I stopped watching them after Disney ruined Star Wars for me during the force awakens and the way they treated original characters. DONE!!

The new trilogy could have been so, so much better without a lot of work

Aside from Rogue One, the Disney Star Wars films are too full of stuff to narrow it down. However, one minor scene in Star Wars 1977 that I always find amusingly bad is when the stormtroopers are coming the desert, and one of them picks up a metal ring and says "Look Sir, droids!", it is not so much the dialogue, it is the way that the camera hangs on him twisting the rusted ring back and forth repeatedly with his hand for no reason for way too long.

Worst scene in RotJ was Chewie swinging on a rope and doing the Tarzan call.

I always say this about the sequel trilogy: that is 9 hours and 34 minutes of my life that I will never get back

Episode 1: Are you an Angel? Episode 2: r2d2 flies Episode 3: Concur with McNulty Rogue 1: Jin's inspirational speech. Her switch from reluctant participant to leader is unearned. Episode 4: There are no bad scenes in the original. In the special editions, Greedo shooting the wall. Episode 5: No notes. Episode 6: Stormtroopers yell "Freeze!" at Han and Leia mid-battle instead of killing them. In the current edition, the song in Jabba's palace. Episode 7: Somehow, Poe returns. The movie told me he was dead, with movie language. Episode 8: Concur with McNulty on Rose/Fin scene. Honorable mention to Flashback to Luke contemplating murdering Kylo. Out of character. Episode 9: Somehow, Chewie returns. Script sell-sabotages, establishing there are no stakes.

8:46 This could've been really good if instead we saw her coming to save him, racing to stop him while he was racing to sacrifice himself. And then he had like a side turret, with which at the last moment where she was almost close to succeeding in stopping him, he shot the wing off her ship with the side turret and she fails.

Any disney scene is the worst. But hey, i would have sold my creation for the same price without caring about what the fans think as well.

I completely disagree with your opinion on the kiss in empire. It's a perfect representation of how women overreact and lose all composure when they become emotional.

A New Hope: a Darth Vader’s line “this will be a day long remembered…”. It is pointless exposition. Empire SB: as you say Return Jedi: as you say Phantom M: Anakin going to see Padme before going to the temple. It is something he would do, but we don’t need to see it. It simply has no weight. AotC: Any of Anakins monologues could be removed, and replaced with better writing. RotS: as you say R1: this whole movie was entirely unnecessary. There is no emotional weight to any character here. I lost interest within 5 minutes. Because we already know the outcome, this movie can’t threaten us with much because the ending is fixed. TFA: I have only seen it once, and once was enough. Anything else here I haven’t watched.

Im glad you did not include the holyday special as that movie is perfection with no bad scenes at all

The sequels as a whole are the worst.

And this is still the best of the trilogy.

Exactly. Just a ripoff

In my opinion there are a few redeeming qualities for the throne room scene in A New Hope. Namely, the leaders of the Rebellion are people who lived in and believe in the Old Galactic Republic: a more civilized age, a more civilized way of life. Therefore they try to recapture that civil behaviour in a moment of triumph like the destruction of the Death Star. At the same time the scene solidifies that their ambition is to restore the Republic. And such a galactic state needs its ceremonies. So the throne room scene can be seen as both paying tribute to the past and the future of the Galactic Republic: the idea these people fight for.

My favorite plot hole is in The Walking Dead. When we met Ezekiel, his people are growing pigs for Negan. They feed the pigs with zombies. This is never mentioned again. Either the zombie tainted pigs would kill everyone, or their safe to eat. Which means that zombies are indirectly safe to eat. Absolutely HUGE news either way

You left out 2 early Star Wars Movies: The Ewok Adventure & The Battle For Endor. I suspect that the answer for them would be "every scene"

I’m not a big Star Wars guy but I always thought the scene at the end of Return of the Jedi where all the ghost guys, including Darth Vader without his helmet, sort of pose for a group picture was pretty hokey.

Nope

Right off the bat..... That last scene in Star Wars.....and yes, that's the actual title of the movie. It isn't A New Hope or Episode IV. Its just Star Wars. Anyway, that scene is proof positive that this movie was intended to be a one off and not just the first part of this giant saga that George claim's to have planned and imagined from the beginning. His friggin' ego knows no bounds. And the cherry on top is how lame that ending is. That is 100% George Lucas bad writing and delivery. I'll forever give him credit for imagination. He's got that. And I'll give him credit for being smart enough to claim merchandising rights. That was more brilliant than any world builing he's ever come up with. The guy absolutely sucks at writing and storyboarding, but he does have imagination.

ANY scene with that awful actor Hayden Christensen. I've always thought poorly of the decision to have Hayden Christensen play one of the most iconic characters in film. So many actors were up for the part and THIS is the guy they chose? UGH! As for the Disney trilogy films, I keep telling myself that they don't EXIST! AWFUL!
