[Tom Hawking of Flavor Wire] The Worst On-Screen Duos of ALL time? Well, George Lucas & dialogue, generally. "You can type this crap," Harrison Ford sighed on the set of the first Star Wars film, "but you can't say it." George Lucas' contribution to the world of Cinema has been sizeable, and Star Wars remains a classic, but one thing he's never been particularly good at is characterization - and specifically, dialogue.
This wasn't so much of a problem in the first trilogy, when the sheer excitement of the plot and the novelty of the special effects, as well as Ford and Carrie Fisher's willingness to just ditch the script when necessary, carried the films. By the second trilogy, though, Lucas' inability to write convincing dialogue was painful - as exemplified, in particular, by the excruciating "love" scenes featuring Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen... cough, cough... oh the Picnic scene...
