Many years ago, back on IMDb, I made a post criticizing the Prequels for not having any memorable lines, especially when compared to the Original trilogy. Which was a sentiment generally agreed upon by my fellow users at the time. However, as time has gone on, I have found that is not entirely the case. I have seen people around the internet quoting/referencing lines from the Prequels. Not nearly to the degree as the original, but still rather frequently. Some examples are;
QUI-GON: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. (I)
YODA: Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. (I)
PALPATINE: I am the Senate. (III)
PALPATINE: Execute Order 66. (III)
PADME: So this I how Liberty dies, With thunderous applause. (III)
OBI-WAN: Only a Sith deals in Absolutes. (III)
OBI-WAN: I have the High Ground. (III)
As a testament to their "memorability", I did NOT have to look those up. I was ability transcribe them from memory. For all the flak the Prequels get for the writing, it clearly did have its high points. Now to be fair, some of these lines are quoted ironically, but I think the fact that we remember them at all is at least something.
That got me thinking whether or not any lines of the recent Disney films will be similarly affected. Off the top of my head, I cannot recall any memorable lines from these films, but maybe as times goes by they will develop a "legacy".
Any thoughts?
