The Frodo and Bilbo conversation serves as a new light in a character that seems like nothing but goodness at first, it reveals a complex side and serves as an understanding for his motivations to leave the Shrine, it is not exposition is characterisation. And, even if it was "bad", the superb acting shows perfectly the face of an old man's confession, after all, good dialog is nothing if delivered incorrectly.

The Star Wars scene was a missed opportunity. I believe the intention was to show how different Anakin's and Padme's backgrounds are. Anakin grew up as a slave in Tatooine while Padme grew up in luxury. Padme likes sand because it reminds her of the beach while Anakin hates sand because it reminds him of the empty desert.

Thank you Brandon, this was very helpful! As you know, Brandon, some of us writers out there use bad dialogue, and need help writing better dialogue. And you, Brandon, are a writer who makes youtube videos to help other writers. I feel very grateful that you wrote this, as I was having writer's block and it was agony! Now I am extremely relieved. Just as the flowers are in pain in the hot dry sun until the wonderful raindrops fall to breath them back to life. And now, I will write the greatest book the world has ever seen, and the entire writing industry will be under my thumb! Mwahaha!

I totally disagree about the Frodo / Bilbo scene about Frodo's parents. The point is: Frodo idolized Bilbo and is shocked at his uncle's confession. Bilbo is actually revealing something Frodo doesn't know... about Bilbo's character. Of course Frodo knows Bilbo took him in after his parents died, but Bilbo is now confessing WHY he did.... which is something Bilbo himself didn't even know until he came to this revelation and confession. That's why Bilbo says" I'm very selfish you know... YES I AM... very selfish" - that "yes I am" is because he knew his sweet, tender hearted nephew was going to automatically disagree with him. Bilbo needs to get it off his chest and didn't want to be defended. Frodo doesn't think of Bilbo as selfish. This may be the first truly honest and vulnerable thing Bilbo has ever said to his nephew.... and Bilbo is only brave enough to confess it because he's leaving. It's an important moment.

Another reason the Back to the Future dialogue works is that it has a payoff later. Marty says his mother would go on and on about "how she never did anything like that when she was a kid." He says "she was practically born a nun." But later we see how false both of those things are when he encounters his mother as a teenager in the past. Obviously, we don't know those things when we're watching this scene for the first time, but it adds to the replay value.

"As you know, Bob" is literally the first 20 minutes of every single Lifetime Christmas romance movie. They are a guilty pleasure of my wife's and she watches a few every Christmas. I get a kick out of the opening dialogue every time.
"Oh hey, Sandy. I haven't seen you since we worked together at your Uncle Jeff's toy store our senior year of McMillan High School."
"Wow, Kurt. I forgot how much you look like my brother, Ryan who died in that car accident on April 7th, 2008."
"Maybe I will see you at Judy, my mother, the Mayor's Christmas eve party."
Cracks me up every single time.

It's funny, but you pointing out that Anakin's dialogue is too "on the nose" made me realize that it actually makes sense for his character especially when contrasted with Marty and Jennifer.
Marty and Jennifer are American seniors in high school. Presumably, they have some prior experience with romance and courtship. Plus, they are an established couple. Their dialogue is going to be more natural and playful.
Anakin's only experience with romance is a nine-year-old's crush on a teenage girl. Of course, his dialogue is going to be awkward and "on the nose". The problem isn't that Anakin is saying exactly how he feels, it's pretty much everything else in that scene (the delivery, Padme's reaction, etc.)

I think there were much better examples for the "as you know" because the LOTR scene dialogue didn't seem really bad to me. The point wasn,t to tell the audience that Bilbo is selfish in another way but more for Bilbo to explain to Frodo why he took him in and why he cares about him. Also to tell Frodo that he isn't like the others (he's not the reason why Biblo is leaving.)

My favorite example of Bad dialogue is “Somehow, Palpatine returned.” from Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
