here's the deal with the dialogue.
since the beginning (but moreso in the last few movies) the dialogue was somewhat intentionally corny - to sound like the old serial cliffhangers that Star Wars was - in part - modelled after.
in the 1st couple of movies the leads were all played by hungry entheusiastic unknowns ... they put themselves into the roles with all they had and made the dialogue work.
now in the last few films, not only has it gotten worse .. largely in part due to Lucas's obvious lack of interest in his characters ... but you've got seasoned veteren actors saying these awful lines .. like Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor ... they are incapable of making these lines work..
We already know them as actors and what to expect from them .. you cant go backwards with guys like these ..
and Christiensen ... he's just a pitiful actor .. that's all there is to that.
