Lots of commentators and uncommontators complain about the 'wooden dialogue' in the Star Wars movies. So what? If the movies are meant to be space operas, why don't we compare them to other operas?
Believable dialogue is not the genre's strong suit. When was the last time anyone watched a performance of Ride of the Valkyries and believed the sincerity of the warrior praying to the warfather? Or that a crowd of Sooners joined in unison to sing praises to Oklahoma? Bugs Bunny gave a more convincing performance as the Barber of Seville than most operatic performers.
Give Star Wars a break on the dialogue.
