    Luke Milks A Thala-siren's Udders And Chugs Down A Glass ('The Last Jedi')

    Luke Milks A Thala-siren's Udders And Chugs Down A Glass ('The Last Jedi').InThe Last JediRey tries to convince Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to help fight the First Order. He mostly ignores her presence while he does his daily tasks, which include milking a Thala-siren and drinking the milk right from the teat.

    Why It's Weird:Luke had already drunk blue milk. Seeing him milk a strange creature and then drink the odd fluid right in front of Rey feels almost perverse. At least it is weird and out of place. Still, it connects to Luke's farming past on Tatooine.

    Leia Flies Through Space ('The Last Jedi')

    Why It's Weird:This scene earned Leia the "Mary Poppins Moment" because of the clear hints of her flying ability. Fans knew Leia had a Force connection, but the show did not show it much earlier. This scene appears suddenly. It defies explanation and does not match what we know about the Force.Star WarsThe universe, so this scene became one of the most disliked parts of the sequel trilogy.

The family patriarch enjoys VR adult entertainment in full view of the family, guests, and a horrified audience.

    What Happens:In the final act ofThe Rise of SkywalkerRey dies, killing Darth Sidious by bouncing his Force Lightning back at him. After falling, Ben Solo climbs back from the cliff he fell from and saves Rey using Force Heal, the same move she used on him earlier. As she recovers, she leans forward and kisses Ben. He smiles, falls back, and dies, joining the Force.

Rose hits him just before he acts, saving his life. Pulling her from the cockpit, she says she did it for love and kisses him.

    Why It's Weird:The franchise has many uncomfortable kisses. This one defies explanation the most. Rose saves her friend, which is nice, but she kisses him. Then, she passes out. We get no resolution or explanation for what happens next because Rose is barely in the sequel.

    Sy Snootles Sings 'Jedi Rocks' ('Return of the Jedi')

    What Happens:InStar Wars: Return of the Jedi Special Edition, a new segment swaps the original musical number. Sy Snootles sings a new song, "Jedi Rocks." The segment features new music and a poorly CG-animated character singing with live-action performers. This stands out, but not for good reasons.

    Why It's Weird:Fans disliked the originalJedi altered with the segment. This does not fit Jabba's palace ambiance. While decent for its time, the animation did not age well, nor did it match the live-action performances. Fans see how bad it is. Many fans dislike Special Edition releases, but this change tops lists as the worst addition or alteration.

    Finn Wants To Tell Rey Something But Then Never Does ('The Rise of Skywalker')

    What Happens:Finn clearly likes Rey when he sees her. This feeling stays true across the franchise. They share an unspoken bond. InThe Last JediFinn's drive to find and save Rey moves much of the story. InThe Rise of SkywalkerFinn tries to tell Rey something many times. He never does despite many chances. Fans wonder, "What did Finn want to tell Rey?"

    Why It's Weird:It feels more annoying than weird because we never get a finish in The Rise of Skywalker.The Rise of Skywalker.Luckily, this story gets sorted out a bit in the non-canon version.Lego Star Wars Holiday Special: Finn tried telling Rey he was Force-sensitive. Still, the film did not show this. This frustrates fans and acts as an irritating reminder of the franchise's loose plot lines.

As they prepare for the race, Jar Jar is near the Eopie that brought the racer, and the thing lets out a massive fart, like a Death Star explosion, before looking back at its victim.

    Why It's Weird: The Phantom Menaceis, in many ways, a kids' movie. Some people claim all Star Wars films target kids. That is not true; some movies use fart jokes, others do not.Star Warsfilms are made for kids. While that is not true, some movies benefit from fart jokes; others do not.The Phantom Menacethis film is the latter. While George Lucas likely aimed for this scene, it feels too crude for the franchise.

    Jack Black And Lizzo Cameo As Captain Bombardier And Duchess ('The Mandalorian')

    What Happens:In The Mandalorian Season 3, episode 6, “Guns for Hire,” Din Djarin, Grogu, and Bo-Katan check shadowy Empire figures affecting the New Republic. They go to Plazir-15. There, they meet Captain Bombardier (Jack Black) and the Duchess (Lizzo). They greet them happily. Grogu quickly likes the Duchess, but something happens under their noses that the Mandalorians must reveal.

    Why It's Weird:The scene introducing the characters or the episode content is fine. Most viewers think the whole thing was staged to give famous faces like Black and Lizzo a cameo. The episode also includes a Christopher Lloyd cameo, which felt forced and distracted from the story.

    Padmé Dies Of A Broken Heart ('Revenge of the Sith')

    What Happens:At the end of Revenge of the SithAnakin turns to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader.He becomes Darth Vader by turning to the dark side of the Force.Darth Vader becomes Darth Vader. This leaves his wife, Padmé, upset. He Force chokes her, and she gives birth to their twins, Luke and Leia. Padmé was medically fine, but she died from a broken heart.

    Why It's Weird:George Lucas needed to remove Padmé, but he found a cleverer method. A strong character breaking from a broken heart makes little sense. It suggests she couldn't raise her kids, which seems unlikely. This ending broke fan expectations and did not fit the film's story.

    Luke And Leia Lock Lips ('The Empire Strikes Back')

    What Happens:InThe Empire Strikes BackLeia and Han argue about visiting Luke after he leaves the Bacta Tank. Seeing Luke, she jokes with Han and kisses the young Jedi. This is a beautiful moment… if you miss one fact from the next movie.

    Why It's Weird:At release, this moment was fine. Some fans find it frustrating or out of place because they see it as a romantic tease and dislike Luke and Leia getting together. However, afterReturn of the Jedihit theaters and showed Luke and Leia are twins, watching this scene causes unease. Though they did not know their relation then, Leia states, “Somehow, I've always known,” inJedi. Somehow, she knew Luke was her brother, but she still kissed him? That is weird.

    Poe Makes A Joke About Hux's Mother ('The Last Jedi')

    What Happens:InThe Last JediThe film opens with the Resistance trying to escape the First Order as a Dreadnaught arrives. Poe flies his X-Wing toward the ship and calls General Hux. Instead of what you expect, Poe mocks Hux about a bad connection and not knowing who he speaks to. This leads Poe to joke about Hux's mother.

    Why It's Weird:The scene is funny because Poe argues about their bad connection. There is even an “I can hear you. Can you hear me?” moment. He does not make a ‘Yo Momma’ joke, but he says he has a message from Leia about his mother, making Hux order his men to “Open fire!” It is funny, but like most scenes on this list, it feels out of place and does not match the film's tone.

    Brain Worms Create An Army Of The Undead ('The Clone Wars')

    What Happens:On a mission to Geonosis, Clone Troopers meet brain worms. These parasites infect hosts by drilling into their heads, turning them into zombies. They can infect the dead too, and they multiply fast. This causes distrust as Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee clash with the same parasites.

    Why It's Weird:This episode shows the "zombie Stormtrooper" idea somewhat. It feels more disgusting than weird. Animators perfectly showed brain worms taking over minds. They showed how these worms spread by thrusting from the victim's mouth; it is nasty.

Filmmakers might have aimed for real-world relevance. A 1950s diner on Coruscant clashes with the franchise's visual style. The scene is weird only because of its setting. This detail distracts the viewer.
