Part 6/8:
However, poor editing can negate acting talent. Scenes from Attack of the Clones, particularly the romantic exchanges between Anakin and Padmé, are criticized for dragging with awkward pauses and forced dialogue. The editing fails to streamline or nuance the performances, leaving noticeable flaws in delivery—most famously Hayden Christensen's discomforted "I don't like Sand" line. Instead of minimizing these awkward moments, the editing exposes and prolongs them, making scenes difficult to watch.
