Actually, yes.
The "line" has been done so many times it is just a joke.
Doesn't Lucas know that?
I thought of "The Simpsons," with McBain screaming "Noooooo!!!!" to the ceiling after Mendoza's thugs shoot his partner. Apparently, Lucas gets his inspiration by stealing cliches so old, they have passed into joke territory. I'm amazed he didn't have someone point out that Senator Amadala was just ONE day away from retirement...
