Every line uttered by Jar Jar Binks sounds worse than that.

The Palpatine line is about so much more than the dialogue itself, though. It's about the laziest thing any major blockbuster has ever done, in my opinion.

It was such an obvious, desperate attempt to manufacture a final boss for the end of the trilogy which had at NO point built towards a showdown with Palpatine, whatsoever.

Plus, it takes away all significance from Vader destroying Palpatine in ROTJ. (In other words, the whole Skywalker saga was for nothing up to that point.)

It's the worst part about that movie, and there's a lot of terrible to choose from.

I really enjoy Rian Johnson's Knives Out franchise, but the Star Wars fan boy in me really hopes years from now, after a few more successful Knives Out movies, another director gets permission to make a movie using that IP and he decides he wants to take Johnson's baby and his franchise lead and "subvert" expectations.

Maybe we find out Benoit is actually a moron and some super genius teen girl was feeding him the solutions the entire time? Or Benoit is really a murderer who has been framing people all these years and along comes some punky girl who's never solved even a riddle in her entire life and she just completely makes Benoit look like an amateur in using brains and logic.
