What was the stupidest thing in the movie?

I think the subtitle "Attack of the Clones" is worthy of a mention itself.
Hi-Keeba!

I think the results of the voting prove that almost any frame of the movie was the stupidest thing in the movie.

The name Emerson Greedo now enjoys a certain understated dignity thanks to Elan Sleazebaggano.

NOTE: While it may or may not be Greedo's real first name, I always thought it he looked like an Emerson.

I will henceforth always refer to him as Emerson Greedo. Thank you.

Full name? Emerson Greedo Palmer.

Man, that would make me glad he got zapped.

QuoteDear friends, I have added all your wonderful ideas to the poll. 

no you left off the yoda fight scene which i STILL think is the dumbest thing in the movie

in regards to jar jar, with this movie we DO learn one thing, the empororer was ONLY able to take control of the senate and thus become the emperor because jar jar was duped into tabling a motion.  Therefore everything REALLY REALLY is jar jars fault

I have to vote for Jar-Jar.  You go from an annoying, moronic bastard to a supposedly regal Senator who's now so intelligent, you are convincing an entire senate of the best and most intelligent folks in the galaxy to do what you want them to.  Please. Jar-Jar should be cleaning the Senate toilets.

No matter how you slice it, Jar Jar is still an annoying, moronic bastard regardless of what he's doing.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

"Deathsticks-guy" also bore a remarkable resemblance to an Andorian....

Jango sounding like Steve Irwin was one thing, having the same actor re-do Boba's voice for the Empire Strikes Back DVD stands as the biggest sin Attack of the Clones commits.

This is one reason why I waited until Lucas released both theatrical and mangled versions of the movie. I like the original Boba Fett voice because it sounds more tough and menacing.

I'm guessing you guys haven't seen Once were Warriors.

Interesting detail, the reason the Geonosans (mud wasps) were shown with plans for the Death Star was a response to Kevin Smith according to Lucas' commentary.  The infamous rant about Return of the Jedi in Clerks apparently got back to Lucas, the one where Randal goes on about how the people building the second Death Star were killed despite being independent contractors and not necessarily evil.  Lucas established that these evil aliens were behind the design of the Death Star to show that indeed evil was punished both times the Death Star was blown off.

I'm posting this in the stupidest things thread because of how Lucas completely missed the point.  He established the designers of the Death Star were evil, ignoring the fact that someone else probably was doing the physical building.  Whoops.
