I could buy that excuse (to a degree) for TPM. But, once that movie came out, everyone knew what Lucasfilm was capable of making the environments look like onscreen. TFA had similar shots and the acting in those was fine. I think it's more a combination of a) Lucas's directing, and b) many people really disagreed with the way Lucas wanted to portray the character of Anakin. The PT isn't without its faults (all the Star Wars movies do). You will get no argument from me there. In terms of Lucas' way of directing with the PT vs. OT, I think he was less controlling with the actors during the filming of the PT. Here is an interview with Bai Ling who had a bit (cut) part in Episode 3: www.cnet.com/news/star-wars-bai-ling-revenge-of-the-sith-playboy/She basically says that she was given free reign on what she could do in her scene(s). This was not the Lucas that was involved with the OT. He was much more controlling - even going as far as to famously demand Carrie Fisher to not wear underwear during the filming of Episode 4. I think giving the actors free reign during the PT wasn't the best method considering that almost everything was done against an artificial environment. I think he should have been more involved and given direction to the actors. I think he would have gotten better performances if the actors had been given a clear picture of where they were/what they were doing. I agree with your assessment of Natalie Portman. Most of the time, she looked completely lost and uncomfortable in the PT.

it would of been a better line if It was delivered by a better actor, Hayden was a poor choice for Anakin Skywalker, just think what could of been with a more accomplished actor, he's sounds like a surf dude
but this line is pretty laughable , along with 85% of the dialogue in AOTC
"Got a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?" this line is pretty laughable , along with 85% of the dialogue in TFA That line is supposed to be laughable, unlike Ani's heartfelt sand soliloquy.

The boyfriend line makes fun of the bumbling fool clumsily and awkwardly hitting on the white girl, and getting his due by her "none of your business" reply - we are supposed to laugh with her as much as we are supposed to laugh at him. Let's not forget shortly before he got beaten up and electricuted while being called a thief by her (I speak of Rey, Rose did it later again).
Also with his horrid "Droid, please". See: "They" speak like that even a long time ago far far away. Especially when unable to understand the droid, but asking to further mislead the girl into thinking he is somebody important though later revealed as the fleeing space janitor.
"Let's go Chrome Dome" was probably a heroic improvement compared to this.
Ultimately, I take some sandy dialogue over this anytime.

What in the actual hell does him being black and her being white have to do with the boyfriend line? And am I supposed to shudder in horror at the supposed racism of "Droid, please" after Jar Jar Binks, the Neimoidians, and Watto? Like Little Ani, Finn has been raised in an environment without a lot of romantic opportunities. Such a situation creates awkwardness when interacting with a hot girl for the first time. Rather than play it dead-faced and, God help us, have her actually immediately start making out with him as per sand poetry, they made it funny to further endear us to him. Not so different from when Luke got instantly jealous and said "No!" when Han asked if Leia might like him. There was no "silly cracker redneck from a farm" conspiracy there, either. It's just giving the romances a little levity. Something AotC forgot to do with its faux Romeo and Juliet wishing of wishes.

Finn, like Rey, defy their upbringing by their behaviors. Finn was a brainwashed soldier, suddenly he's a bumbling, nervous, murdering, wise cracking, never better than Rey-sidekick. Rey is genuine and honest despite the only human behavior she's exposed to being dishonesty and selfishness. But whatever. Let's forgive that, and let's forgive the unbelievable and ridiculous dialogue and instead deflect.
He did not become endeared to us, he became idiotic. Why is the alternative that they immediately start making out? Are you referencing Padme and Anakin? Didn't it take actual years before that happened?

Finn had just met Rey and that horrid line asking if Rey had a boyfriend came out of nowhere. Luke had already seen a hologram of Leia and his response was "She's beautiful." Han was being his usual womanizer self when he made that comment, prompting Luke to rebuff him. The line from Anakin came after already spending days (perhaps weeks) with Padmé in personal settings. On top of that at the opening of the movie Anakin tells the audience he has spent every day dreaming about Padmé since the events of the Phantom Menace. So it's not an awkward premise as is Finn's, who blurted out that line in the middle of rushed ship repairs. And after just meeting her minutes ago and being wacked in the leg and across the face by her.

But I can see how that can be a little forward when compared to the subtle pimp game of Anakin "You look exactly how I remember you in my dreams" Skywalker.
