Why the Star Wars Prequels are the most disappointing event in cinematic history

Reason #246


Let's compare a nice romantic scene from "The Empire Strikes Back" and from "Attack of the Clones".

Episode V:

Han: Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm alright.
Leia: Ocassionally. Maybe. When you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
Han: Soundrel? Scoundrel. I like the sound of that.
Leia: Stop that.
Han: Stop what?
Leia: Stop that, my hands are dirty.
Han: My hands are dirty too. What are you afraid of?
Leia: Afraid?
Han: You're trembling.
Leia: I'm not trembling.
Han: You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There are no scoundrels in your life.
Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han: I'm a nice man.
Leia: No you're not, you're..
