i will never train another generation of
jedi
i came to this island to die
it's time for the jedi
to end welcome to watch mojo and today
we'll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 scenes that ruin star wars for
fans
for this list we'll be going over the
moments from the star wars franchise
that made fans cringe or ragequit to be
clear these are things that fans were
immediately upset over not things that
are bad in retrospect like leia kissing
luke
if there's a star wars scene you hated
that was far far away from our list let
us know in the comments
number 10 lost the will to live star
wars episode 3 revenge of the sith
you're breaking my heart
you're going down a path i can't follow
death is a solemn occasion particularly
when it's related to childbirth but the
death of padme amidala had fans groaning
instead of weeping after her
confrontation with anakin padme is left
heartbroken and ready to deliver her
twins however her droid doctor informs
obi-wan and company that while she's
fine physically she has lost the will to
live and she dies medically she's
completely healthy
for reasons we can't explain
we are losing her
she's dying
we don't know why she has lost the world
to live sure people dying of a broken
heart is medically possible but it's
hardly narratively satisfying and it
sounds more like poetic license as it is
this felt to many fans like a half-baked
way of killing padme off without having
darth vader be directly responsible he's
lost the will to live what is your
degree in poetry you sorry bunch of
hippies for god's sakes don't use the
billions of dollars of medical equipment
around us number nine rose saves finn
star wars episode 8 the last jedi
usually when one character saves another
from certain death everyone is on board
not so here
it's too late don't do that no
i won't let them win with the resistance
cornered and the first order firing
death beams at their door finn is ready
to make the ultimate sacrifice to crash
his vehicle into the weapon to save the
resistance except rose decides to crash
her ship into his stopping him from
saving everyone
and then she kisses him sure luke ends
up buying time for everyone to escape
but rose didn't know that would happen
or that the first order wouldn't just
shoot them after saving finn
a kiss after all that feels so ill-timed
we can see why this was the last straw
for some fans
number eight jar jar gives palpatine
emergency powers star wars episode 2
attack of the clones this is a crisis
the senate must vote the chancellor
emergency powers
he can then approve the creation of an
army
but what senator would have the courage
to propose such a radical amendment
people don't like jar jar that's no
secret but while his comedic relief was
understandable if annoying there are
those who took even more issue when he
affected the plot jar jar is responsible
for proposing that chancellor palpatine
be given emergency powers by the senate
to draft the clone army misa proposed
that the senate
give immediately emergency powers
to the supreme chancellor
[Applause]
this effectively makes jar jar partially
responsible for the rise of the emperor
and the empire the republic
will be reorganized
into the first
galactic
granted palpatine and his flunky put the
idea in his head but it's still galling
for fans to know that so much evil came
about because this floppy ear dope made
a speech and speaking of divisive
characters
number seven ray skywalker star wars
episode 9 the rise of skywalker rey has
been a lightning rod of a character
since her introduction but her final
scene in the sequel trilogy had fans
demanding their money back on tatooine
rey lays the lightsabers of luke and
leia to rest in the sand while igniting
her own lightsaber then an old woman
asks her name there's been no one for so
long
who are you
i'm
right ray ho ray responds to their first
name and then after looking at luke and
leia's force ghosts tells her ray
skywalker a character that's already so
divisive inheriting the skywalker legacy
and name had many fans outraged plus it
kind of goes against what rey learned in
the trilogy that legacy doesn't need to
define you ray
some things are stronger than blood
number six leia flies in space star wars
episode 8 the last jedi they fly now
they fly now
they fly now people were about as amused
with this development as that gag after
being blown out into space leia uses the
force to propel herself back to the ship
miraculously surviving being in vacuum
[Music]
while the last jedi introduced several
new force abilities this one had a lot
of fans crying foul if only because of
how ridiculous it looked plenty compared
leia to mary poppins perhaps it's a
witch of course not witches that proves
as much as we've all looked forward to
leia using the force on screen the
effect was less supercalifragilistic
expialidocious and more quite atrocious
number five somehow palpatine returned
star wars episode nine the rise of
skywalker i have died before
the dark side of the force is a pathway
to many abilities some consider to be
unnatural the star wars franchise has
some of the clunkiest dialogue in cinema
you can acknowledge this and still love
it but this line from the rise of
skywalker quickly reached meme status
without terrible it is early in the film
poe dameron reports that somehow
palpatine returned we've decoded the
intel from the first order spy and it
confirms the worst
somehow palpatine returned this is then
followed by half-hearted speculations on
how this is possible granted not
everyone needs a thorough explanation of
this resurrection but some fans would
have preferred something more
substantial than somehow by keeping it
so vague there's no guarantee that
palpatine's death at the film's end is
going to be permanent either
somehow he returned again you don't say
number four han's name solo a star wars
story this is where i sign up to be a
pilot ring if you apply for the imperial
navy but most recruits go into the
infantry i'm gonna be a pilot most fans
probably took one look at han solo's
last name and thought huh that's a weird
space name and moved on because most
star wars names are like that han solo
i'm captain of the millennium falcon
chewie here tells me you're looking for
passage to the alderaan system yes
indeed in a reveal no one asked for solo
a star wars story showed us that han
didn't always have the moniker instead
when signing up to become an imperial
pilot han is given the name by the
recruiter due to his claim to not have a
last name or people to which he belongs
i don't have people
i'm alone
um
solo many fans feel as though this takes
a perfectly innocuous aspect of an
iconic character and makes it
retroactively worse it'd be like if a
skywalker ancestor literally walked in
the sky no that wasn't a suggestion
disney don't
number three sand star wars episode 2
attack of the clones when it comes to
awkward star wars dialogue it doesn't
get much more infamous than this speech
by anakin skywalker while romancing
padme on naboo anakin abruptly comments
on his hatred of sand when padme brings
up the beach i don't like sand
it's coarse
rough and irritating
and it gets everywhere and while his
assessment of sand isn't wrong many are
still incredulous that it ended up in
the final cut of the film like if you'd
ask someone before the prequels whether
darth vader has strong feelings about
sand they'd have looked at you like
everyone looks at jar jar when he says
anything
the memes practically create themselves
it's so clumsy i'm sorry
[Music]
number two luke throws his lightsaber
away star wars episode 8 the last jedi
luke has thrown away his lightsaber
before when the emperor told him to kill
vader so it's not the act itself that
fans have a problem with i'll never turn
to the dark side
you failed your highness
i am a jedi
like my father before me seeing ray hand
luke his old lightsaber at the end of
the force awakens felt like a big moment
then the last jedi picks up and he just
tosses it over his shoulder it feels
like tonal whiplash for many viewers
luke seems to value jedi texts that get
destroyed later in the film more than
the lightsaber heena's father used the
sacred jedi texts
random have you the image of luke
tossing the lightsaber away is a go-to
example for the hashtag not my luke
skywalker crowd who feel that the action
like many luke takes during the film is
not in keeping with his character before
we get to our top pick here are a few
dishonorable mentions no medal for
chewbacca star wars episode 4 a new hope
it's always seemed kind of speciesist
that he didn't get one
jabba cameo star wars episode 4 a new
hope this scene should have stayed on
the cutting room floor you think i had a
choice
but i got a nice easy charger and i'll
pay you back plus a little extra i just
need a little more time
phasma's death star wars episode 8 the
last jedi how do you waste gwendolyn
christie this much
rebels come

number one no
star wars episode 3 revenge of the sith
darth vader is one of cinema's most
iconic villains revenge of the sith sees
the rise or descent of anakin skywalker
into the identity
after being heavily burned the modified
vader is awoken in a chilling scene
reminiscent of frankenstein and how does
this scene conclude when he's told he
killed his wife in his rage by vader
yelling no
in a way many fans found goofy
undercutting the tension of the scene
the exclamation has become a meme
synonymous with over-the-top angst the
line was even added into a special
edition of return of the jedi further
souring it for fans ironically the best
way to describe fan's reaction to the
scene is with the scene itself
