I'm pretty sure #1 is no plot hole. Vader wasn't able to sense who Luke was at first, and he WAS using the Force.

2:55 - Believe it or not, "Hiding in plain sight" works because "To assume the obvious is to overlook the obvious". This works with Leia, as well. Remember, Vader believed that his "child"(children) died with Padme'. He wasn't even looking for a child of his, because he had long believed the child(ren) dead. Also, Luke was in the "outer rim", where it was much less controlled by the Empire, despite their presence on the planet. Leia, on the other hand, was a Senator, and "daughter" of the royal house of Alderaan. Vader had absolutely no clue she was really his daughter (in universe, of course).

In the original book continuity, the answer to why droids in Jabba's palace felt pain, was that they were modified to feel pain in order to be tortured when they didn't do something.

As an answer to why the empire didn't fire at Yavin prime is because the first deathstar takes 12 hours to recharge its main weapon after firing on full power. So instead of giving the rebels 10 minutes to shoot the exhaust port, they would have given them 12 hours.

If Vader just knew they have R2 with them, he would have never underestimated the rebels😂

I never understand why people think Vader should sense a familial connection to Leia. He didn't sense anything with Luke. When has familial connection ever shown to be something you can sense without any prior knowledge. And why does Luke escaping Hoth not make sense. He was escaping the planet with multiple other Rebel ships after the blockade was opened by the ion cannon. He also had a hyperdrive unlike the Millennium Falcon so what would have stopped him?

the basis of the rule of two as explained in an expanded universe novel was that large numbers of sith would be more likely to fight each other than cooperate against the Jedi, and the actual rule of two was "one to hold the power and one to crave it" with the expectation that when an apprentice became strong enough to overthrow his master, he should. - and in the ROTJ novelization it was pretty clear that Vader's intention was that Luke should help him kill the emperor so they could rule as father and son.

I’m the first to admit that there are several plot holes in a universe as expansive as Star Wars, but not all of the ones in this list were in fact plot holes. Most of these have reasonable explanations. As you mentioned, the Rule of Two doesn’t make sense in terms of sustainability for the Sith, but Vader trying to recruit Luke isn’t a counterexample. On Endor, Vader specifically tells Luke that it’s Luke’s destiny to destroy the Emperor. Vader couldn’t detect that Leia was a family member because she didn’t know either. He only found out later by reading Luke’s active thoughts about her on the Death Star. I always assumed that Vader figured out that Luke was his son through other means. (Your point about Luke keeping his last name is valid, but that seems like more of a foolish decision by Owen and Beru than an impossibility.)

About Luke escaping Hoth, he's also in a small single person fighter. The Empire was focusing on the transports and where they were going and no doubt ignored most small targets.

Lets not forget the fact that Uncle Owen literally bought a droid that used to be on his farm 26ish years earlier. C3PO followed Shmee Skywalker to Lars' farm while Owen very much living there. C3PO ends up leaving with Anakin and padme and decades later, C3PO returns and is captured by jawas who then sell him BACK to Owen and owen just suddenly has no idea who the droid is?

I figured Leia remembered Padmé with the Force, unknowingly. As Yoda tells Luke on Dagobah; "Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past. Old friends long gone."

There's zero reason to expect Vader to sense any familial connection to Leia, or Luke, for that matter. Simply having the Force--or any form of telepathy/clairvoyance in fiction--does not grant omniscience. Force users have to actively probe another person's mind to extract information. If the person doesn't know something (like Leia having no idea who her real father was), that information can't be found. And as Vader still believed his child died along with Padme, that thought wouldn't even enter his mind as a possibility. At most, Vader may have sensed that Leia has an unusually strong mind and spirit, perhaps indicating a strong untapped connection to the Force. This would intrigue him further, but there's no reason this should cause him to recognize her as family. Vader only recognized Obi-Wan's presence because of their shared history.

The Rule of Two makes sense because in Return of the Jedi The emperor tells Luke to take his father’s place. Vader also tells Luke to destroy the Emperor. The Sith always betray each other.

Vader thought his child was dead. Even if he felt force sensitivity from Leia, that doesn't mean they're related Vader wanted Luke without the Emperor, the Emperor wanted Luke without Vader, rule of two can still apply Vader thought his child was dead and Anakin swore he'd never return to Tatooine and totally hates sand. He even tells that Commander to see to the retrieval of the Death Star plans because he didn't want to set foot there himself 🙄 If the Death Star destroyed Yavin Prime, the Death Star would've taken a while to recharge. First Death Star required that Rey had quite the force flashback in Force Awakens, the Obi-Wan Kenobi show would've been the perfect time to show something similar with Leia, they need to do something else with her depicting that so fans can finally shut up about this lol 😝. Leia also said she always knew Luke was her brother, she must remember him too. Breha Organa died when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, so kinda hard for the memory to be involving her (and Luke asked about Leia's REAL mother). It wouldn't be the only "plot hole" in Return of the Jedi, Threepio says Chewbacca never returned from Jabba's palace and then the Wookiee shows up after the droid

He wasn’t able to sense that Luke was his son either. It wasn’t until the Emperor told him that the “rebel who destroyed the Death Star” was the Son of Anakin Skywalker that he knew that. He only sensed that the force was strong with Luke, which he also likely sensed with Leia too. Just because he didn’t comment on it doesn’t make it a plot hole The rule of two isn’t that there can only be two, it’s that there always is at least two. A Master, an Apprentice Obi-Wan’s decisions when hiding Luke are character decisions and they don’t make a plot hole just cause you disagree with them. Tatooine was not under the rule of the Empire and no one there even knew that Anakin Skywalker became a Jedi or that he was Darth Vader. Anakin was a slave during his time on Tatooine. No one still alive even knew whole he was You’re talking about a fictional fuel source and just because earth based fuels might evaporate over time, doesn’t mean this fuel does. Also the decision to not drain it is again, a character choice, not a plot hole The Empire wasn’t trying to destroy any and every planet they could find. As the ruling power in the Galaxy, they knew that even they had limits and couldn’t just go around destroying entire planets that contained unique eco-systems and potential unique minerals and natural resources. That’s why they only destroyed the city of Jedah in Rogue One instead of the entire planet. Also, they destroyed Alderaan both as a punishment to Leia and because they suspected it of a being a Rebel safe planet The Galaxy didn’t forget about the Jedi, the recent shows and other media that take place between ROTS and ANH clearly show the surviving Jedi as active and that the rebels were even helping them. When Ben says to Luke, I was once a Jedi Knight like your father, Luke doesn’t act confused as to what a Jedi is. Also, the inquisitors were seen killing people for over information about wanted Jedi so most people felt the need to keep quiet about the topic in general The Empire’s star ships were disabled by the ion cannons. What? We’re again talking about a fictional universe with tech beyond our wildest dreams. That would be like saying the magic the Asguardians use in the MCU - which has been implied multiple times is actually just a very advanced technology - that it’s a plot hole because there’s nothing comparable in the real world. You have no idea the type of sensations or emotions that can be synthesized and since you aren’t the creator of the universe you don’t get to dictate as such. Disagreeing with a particular tech doesn’t make it a plot hole Leia could easily have force Spence memories of Padme from the moment she was born. She says she was very beautiful but sad and Padme literally dies of sadness in that moment His original deal with Lando was that he was going to let Leia and Chewy go. He didn’t disable the Falcon entirely because it would have shown his hand to Lando earlier than he wanted

My explanation for Leia remembering her "mother" is that it was Padme's body double coming to see her when she was very little

I've understood the "Rule of Two" as being "They come in twos", as in "We found a Sith, where's the other?" Not to mean there's 2 TOTAL. Recognizing Leia: As far as he knew, Padme died in childbirth. He had no reason to keep an eye out, and force powers weren't activated in Leia. Luke, on the other hand, had his force powers awakened in him before Vader encountered and identified him during the trench run. It's so odd to feel the force that he took a deeper peek, and ended up discovering the familial connection (perhaps even last minute during their fight on Cloud City). Or perhaps he sensed memories of Luke's home, of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru and recognized some of it/them. Hiding Luke on Tatooine, I would guess Anakin had enough trauma - childhood slavery, then ripped away from his mom for years, then she got kidnapped and tortured to death, initiating the rage that led to him slaughtering the whole tribe - that he wasn't interested in visiting. Also he considered it a crappy place of nothing. The Empire seemed rather absent until they were looking for the droids they were looking for. :) I figure they didn't blow up Yavin prime because 1) It probably would take AGES to recharge after one shot to then shoot the Rebels. You seem of the opinion that shooting Yavin Prime would destroy the other planet, that isn't THAT guaranteed, and 2) They enjoyed the menacing approach, torture them in anticipation first. "Playing with their food" as it were, they were convinced they had the upper hand and there was no hurry. Luke's escape from Hoth: I have twin theories. 1) That they had been forgetting something that Family Guy's version pointed out: Space is 3 Dimensional. There's no such thing as a blockage, just go some other direction, and that's what Luke did/remembered. 2) (Newly formed right now) That Luke was EXTREMELY later, enough that the Empire figured everybody left, the Falcon was the last out, LET'S GO! And Luke left after that, a lone straggler in the back. Or a combination of both of these. Here's one you missed. The Sith are CLEARLY a vast minority, whichever version of the Rule Of Two you go with. The Jedi are so plentiful they have a ruling council. WHY would anybody believe a prophesized "Balance to the force" would be a Light Side Jedi instead of the understaffed Dark Side Sith???!?!? How is adding to the majority any kind of "balance"? Someone extremely powerful to the minority, THAT feels more like balance!

In the novelization, when the movie first came out, there were four paragraphs explaining how she remembered their mother. Flash forward 10 or so years and with the re-release of the original movies they also re marketed the novels. Surprise (Mandela effect has once again snatched away something I very distinctly remember) there is no longer any mention of this in the book.

Its so annoying how many ppl coddle the prequels and try so flippin hard to try and prove its not dogwater. But all the plot holes rly get to me

I always wondered about Leia saying she remembered her mother and how she was able to since never actually seeing her

Remember when using your imagination wasn’t a plot hole?

Leia remembering her mother is not a plot hole because she even says that somehow she knew Luke was her brother and that’s through the force. She only remembers images and feelings? What feelings? That’s obviously through the force. Also makes no sense as to why Luke’s and Leia’s mother would agree to give up her son even if it’s from protection. Makes no sense as to why Luke wouldn’t even remember her because a mother would at least try to communicate with her son. The force works in mysterious ways.

Vader saw his mother die, gets his hand cut off, killed his wife, gets his second hand and legs cut off by his master, tortured his daughter, kills his ex master, froze his son in law in carbonite and cuts of lukes hand

The rule of two holds if you remember Vader told Luke at the end of ESB that they could rule the universe as father and son, so Vader was planning on killing the emperor.

The reason Leia can remember her real mother in Return of the Jedi and then Padma dying in childbirth in Revenge of the Sith is because George Lucas Did Not write the original trilogy by himself. But he did write the prequels on his own which explains the plot holes

This was a great video. I always wondered some of these

One of the biggest plot holes is why doesn't anyone remember the druids. Vader actually built 3PO and R2 was his astromech for years.

A couple of things - since Leia did not know she was related to Vader and Vader, as far as he knew, had no children, he probably had nothing to pick up on to think of a connection. As far as Luke getting off Hoth, it looks like his group was the last to leave and the star destroyers were most likely to go off after capital ships and not little fighter craft.

If they had made Leia the older twin there could have been some consistency since there was a small moment between Padmé and the first win born. Just a thought

The Leia remembering her mom has driven me nuts since the first time I saw revenge of the sith

In regard to #1 on this list, there's also the fact that Vader *owned* R2 as Anakin. The prequels pretty clearly established R2 as being *his* Droid. He should be pretty familiar with what R2 can and cannot do. Obviously, that I'd all in retrospect.

For the Vader not recognizing Leia plot hole, Palpatine led Vader to believe that Luke and Leia died when Padme gave birth. It would make sense Vader not recognizing Leia as his daughter because, prior to the events of Empire Strikes Back, Vader was unaware that his kids were alive. Also, Luke and Leia were named by Padme when she gave birth, and Vader wasn't there, so how would he know his kids names?

I love how the answers to pretty much all of these plot holes are either "because the writers hadn't thought of it yet," or "because the plot called for it," proving that, despite Lucas and Lucasfilm's best efforts, they've always been just making Star Wars up as they went along.

Great video, bro! 🙏👏

The reason why they didn't fire at Yavin Prime is because it needed time to recharge. The Death Star uses a Kyber Crystal as it's main source of power. However, it can't fire continuously at least not until the Second Death Star where the Empire made some improvements.

bro has the audacity to call this a star wars channel when he clearly has no clue wth hes on about

I think some plot holes are only cause we having a rigid interpretation of dialogues and events. 1) Vader failing to see that Leia was his daughter, seems quite okay. He had no reason to think he had sons, probably the emperor influence would make vader even more blind for family ties. I think that Leia and Vader had already seen eachother before episode IV, afterall she was a daughter of an high member of the senate. 2) The Jedi being forgotten, depends of what it is in 1st place. The Jedi were very much exterminated with order 66. The survivors ran away to faraway systems, for they common people they did dissapear. Yet, there were a resistance group against the emperor, maybe they were not that quite forgottern afterall

With the first plot hole about darth Vader not sensing the fact that Leia is his daughter what if he could sense it and decided to ignore it so he can continue the plan for the Death Star and the growth of the empire

Leia: they let us go too easy. They’re tracking us. Han: Not this ship, Sister. And they’re being tracked.

I know this comment is a year late, but to me the biggest plot hole in Star Wars was is in Episode IV (A New Hope). Right after Luke, Leia, and Han escape from the the Death Star aboard the Millennium Falcon, Leia says to Han (and I paraphrase) "their escape was too easy and that the Empire must be tracking them". Then they proceed to head directly to the super secret hidden rebel base. Now, if Leia knew they were being tracked, or even if she strongly suspected it, then why would she lead them right to where they wanted to go?? She actually let her own home planet be destroyed rather than reveal the location of the base. So to then risk leading the Empire there herself makes no sense whatsoever. Did she suddenly become an idiot? I know she felt it was important to get the plans to the other rebels quickly, but they could have stayed far from the base and tried to look for the tracker that the Empire placed in the Falcon. Or they could have ditched the Falcon and taken another ship to the base. Or basically anything rather than immediately going there with the Empire hot on their trail. That plot hole has always bugged the hell out of me. If Lucas had just not had her say that, and just had Leia be as unaware as anyone else that they were being tracked, that would have solved the problem.

In early interviews George Lucas worked on and completed the early drafts of the plot details episodes 1-9 a few years before the movies were filmed. The plot holes of Leia and Luke can be explained that Leia was initially not going to be Luke's sister. It was the last minute change in Return of the Jedi that Lucas changed his mind and made her a sibling of Luke. Vader not knowing Leia was his daughter can be explained that Vader probably didn't even think about it and Leia had no knowledge of the Force. If she had Vader would've picked up on it. As far as Luke Skywalker not changing his last name. I don't think anyone on Tatooine really cared or put it together that Luke was Vader or Anikan's son and Darth Vader was busy going after rebels, ex Jedi, even killing his own officers to really care. In Revenge of the Sith he was told that Padme was dead and the child to. So, if you think about it he became very bitter and angry about his past and did t want anything to do with Uncle Owen and aunt Buru. I'd you can program a droid to laugh and make up jokes. You can program them to scream in pain, that nothing new.

Before I watch this video I can guarantee at least a couple of these can be explained by the force

Rule of two makes sense. Apparently after the prequels the rule of one began. This means the apprentices are always re0aced and don’t matter

I can understand an X-Wing making it past the blockade. It's a small fighter sized craft. It was the transports that needed the help. But I always wondered how Luke got to his X-Wing after the battle of Hoth. His speeder crashed behind enemy lines, he takes down an AT-AT, and then next time we see him he's back at echo base getting on his X-Wing. Either he got picked up by someone or he teleported. But we never see that happen. But none of that matters because the story is so good and you're so invested that you don't really notice stuff like that unless you've seen it a hundred times.

I always assumed that Leia had a connection to her mother through the force. After all she has feelings and images of her mother, she never mentions actual memories. These could even be remembered from before Leia was born and she specifically remembers the sadness her mother felt.

I always felt Vader didn’t recognize Leia as his daughter because he didn’t know he had one. He had no feelings for her as daughter so there was no connection through the force. In ROTJ, he discovers he has a daughter when he reads Luke’s feelings.

What about Vader’s offer to Luke to “join me and together we can end this destructive conflict”, which means kill the Emperor and “rule the galaxy as father and son”. Later, on Endor, Luke comes to Vader, but Vader conveniently forgets all about that plan - even though it’s somewhat alluded to in a cut scene from the beginning of ROTJ.

As more and more star wars things come out that take place between episode 3 and 4 featuring Jedi, the plothole of people forgetting all about the jedi making less and less sense

You know I just had a thought seeing the thumbnail. In the video game fallen order, it's reveled that some force users can see the history of things through the force. Padme was Bail Organa's closest known friend, and she would have surely been to his home before. What if Leia has that ability and without knowing that she's force sensitive, saw her mother, and mistook them for memories?

In 19 years we forget a lot . Ask kids about video cassettes, I pods , cameras and film developing , AOL etc… people move on pretty quickly

I clearly remember the Emperor saying: "Take your father,'s place, by my side ".That means, is the end for Vader. On the other hand, let's not forget Count Dooku. Was killed by Anakin, the future Darth Vader.

Sometimes I wonder if the people writing these lists actually know anything about Star Wars past film-level. Also, how is pain strictly human??

Regarding the Jedi being forgotten: 1) The Jedi were outlawed and made to look like they tried to overthrow the senate, so one could imagine the thought of them was not a good one, and add in that ol Paly probably threw in a bunch of propaganda to make the denizens of the galaxy look with a side eye at the Jedi 2) There weren't that many Jedi to begin with, especially for a galaxy so big, one could imagine that in some parts of the galaxy even at the height of the Jedi order they were regarded as legends or tales...just theories PEACE

7:53 maybe Obi-Wan did a Vulcan mind meld off-screen when Leia asked him about her real mother during "Kenobi", thus giving her real memories of padme.

The droids are programmed to express what we would perceive as pain so their owners would know they are in distress

I have bit of a theory for at least two of these. 1. The Rule of Two does in a way actually make sense, at least when it comes to the Sith. This is also explained in the EU. It works in that every Sith works to undermined and ultimately destroy each other. So to limit this risk of being killed to early or even unexpectedly due to divided attention between multiple apprentices, a Sith Lord or Master only ever has 1 Apprentice. As for what would have happened if Luke did join his father and become Vaders apprentice? Likely the very thing Vader said to Luke. They would work together to take out Palpatine and rule the galaxy as father and son. Aka, Master and Apprentice. 2. Why the Death Star didn't simply shoot through Yavin Prime to destroy Yavin 4. This I have a few theories for. First off, trying to shoot through an Opaque would have a high probability of missing the target on the other side. Second, being a gas giant, their would be a number of possible outcomes from firing a super heated laser through it. Either: A: The laser gets disrupted or dispersed by what ever chemicals, clouds, radiation, ect. the gas giant is made of. B: The potential gravity well in the gas giant could theoretically (We have yet to see or hear of any bullet/laser drop is Star Wars, but is still a possibility) end up curving and/or redirecting the Death Stars beam towards an unintended target. Possibly even slingshoting it back at the Death Star itself. C: The fact they would be shooting a super heated laser through a planet sized ball of gas. And what happens when a super heated substance meets something as explosively combustible as gas? Suffice to say, yeah, that would have taken out Yavin 4, along with Yavin Prime and pretty much anything within perhaps a hundred or so lightyears (may be over estimating, never really bothered learning space math) as Yavin Prime lights up like a Sun going supernova

When it comes to Leia remembering her mother I figured that she either had seen some recordings of Padme's communications or was speaking of Queen Amidala as if she were her mother. Otherwise the screenwriters had been cramming to come up with something when they had nothing.

Vader said to Luke “together we can destroy the Emperor” - he didn’t want them to be a “trio”

Missed a few. 1. How it is when the Imperial Walkers on Hoth withstood a blaster shot from the armor being too thick and when Luke caused it to trip up, they were able to blow it up? 2. Luke uses a cable to ratchet up to the bottom of one, cut it open and drops. He is good 10 to 15 floors high and it should had broken his legs. 3. R2-D2 has been around since Obi- Wan was young. He should have recognized him.

Also like to note in the entire original Trilogy R2 and Vader never saw each other face to face, Vader did shoot R2 in 'A New Hope' but that was hardly face to face. However a major plot hole would like to point out is C3PO was bound to Chewie's back during Han's carbon freezing scene and speaking throughout. Anakin would have been able recognize the droid's voice and probably even recognize the droid itself as the one he created as it was shown in comics. So why didn't Vader question the reason for Threepio being with Leia, this kind of coincides with the one where Vader never sensed his familial connection with Leia.

When I read the ROTJ novel in 1983, the impression I got was that Leia's mother actually lived for a couple of years with Leia on Alderaan and died when [Leia] was around 2. Since Leia grew up KNOWING she was adopted (Timothy Zahn made reference to this in "Heir To The Empire"), it made sense. However, in ROTS, the director made it a point to show Padme and Leia making deep eye contact, whereas Luke kept his eyes tightly closed. Leia had a deeper connection to her mother in those moments and the Force kept that memory for her. At least, this is what I believe.

I read somewhere with the rule of two, palpatine was planning on ditching Vader because of his imperfectness (his suit) and that Luke would be a better sith

I always thought the whole "Leia remembers her mother through the Force" thing was just a cop out.

The reason that the empire didn’t fire on yavin prime is because the superlaser would have to charge up again giving the rebels time to destroy it

So, no one is going to point out that #6 is "Why didn't the Empire shot a highly ionised energy beam at a gas giant?" Like, a planet destroying superweapon would, most likely, trigger a chain reaction that will turn Yavin Prime into a star. And, yes, this would destroy the rebels, but it will also destroy the Death Star itself too. I love Jules and know that he didn't write the script, so it's not his fault that the writer doesn't really understand physics. One love ❤️ P.S. Jules is great and I absolutely love him and his content. As much as I love his mom too. That's your one per comment. (If you know, you know, if you don't, don't worry about it.)

There only 10 000 Jedi during Clone War for Quadrillions of beings in galaxy. Some never heard of Jedi and for some they were a myth. It is also important to know that Jedi was one of thousands of religions that belive in The Force. Only Jedi were most influential due to involving into politics.

As for the rule of 2, which was never meant to be taken literally, do you not recall when Sidious tried convincing Luke to kill Vader? This would still leave 2, but still it's likely just a general rule

I really thought in the Obi Wan series, he was going to Jedi some images of Padme into Leias brain so she knew what her mother looked like. A little “gift” when they say goodbye.

Everyone also overlooks Vader’s helmet about to fly off during his reveal in Empire. The toy helmet did that too.

11. In the beginning of "Return of the Jedi", we see C-3PO and R2D2 approaching Jabba's palace. R2 whistles and tweets, to which 3PO responds "Of course I'm worried. And you should be too. After all Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca never returned from this place". Yet, when they get into Jabba's palace, we see that Lando is there, disguised as a palace guard. But, Chewy does not arrive until later, as Leia's prisoner.

1. Vader didn't know his child was alive, let alone that Padme had twins. You can't recognize what you never knew existed 2. The rule of two makes a load of sense. The Sith just bend it a lot 3. Obi-Wan hid Luke very well. Why would Vader return to a planet (one planet out of billions mind you) which causes him so much pain? Its perfect 4. The DT does not count. 5. The Death Star either didn't have the ability to accurately fire through things blindly, or firing into a gas giant could've had a cataclysmic outcome of some kind 6. The Jedi weren't forgotten. In the OT, Han and the Imperials outright talk about the Jedi, they just don't believe in the Force. This is simply people not paying attention to the films, and Disney creating misconceptions by being stupid. 7. The Imperial fleet mostly left Hoth, allowing Luke to slip by unnoticed. As Vader was chasing down the Falcon, probably assuming Luke was inside the Freighter, rather than a random X-wing 8. Thats not a plot-hole. Droids probably feel pain as a means to show they're at their limits or that somethings wrong. 9. If Anakin could 'see things before they happen' as a child, then perhaps Leia had a vivid memory. This isn't really a plot hole. 10. Vader only did the Hyperdrive because he wanted to trap the Falcon in the Executor's tractor-beam, so the heroes had no means of escape. Not a plot hole.

Believe it or not, Vader didn’t know Luke was his son until after A New Hope. So that plot hole is kind of redundant. In Vader’s (as of now) canon comic line, Boba Fett is the one who gives him the news that Luke’s last name is Skywalker, and Vader realises that he’s his son. So it’s perfectly fine that Vader didn’t realise that Leia wasn’t his daughter.

10 always bugged me as is Luke skywalker’s lack of sad when his aunt and uncle died. I mean, dude! They RAISED you! Give us some tears!

There are no plot holes, everything goes as I’ve planned it…as always hahahaha

RE: Yavin prime. It's not a laser, it's a plasma bolt. Which would have exploded, upon hitting the planet's atmosphere. They are only called 'lasers' or 'blasters'- they actually shoot high energy plasma contained in some sort of magnetic field, which is why they can be parried or dodged.

Why do Droids feel pain? Answer: it's funny!! This was my favorite part when I saw it in theaters, I was 6. Obviously it was for kids.

10. Those reasons make complete sense, she has always shown a strong will and mind, even more than Luke. There's no plot hole. 9. Do you even watch the movies? Vader tells Luke that together they could take down the Emperor together + if Luke joined the Emperor, he was going to get rid of Vader. 8. Vader hates Tatooine, he was never going to comeback there. Also, THAT WASN'T OBI-WAN'S IDEA 7. Sequels are NOT Star Wars, they don't count. 6. If I remeber correctly, the laser needed to be charged anyway, they couldn't just shoot it whenever they wanted. 5. You're mostly right on that one. Jedi were quite famous but there weren't that many of them and the galaxy is way to big for everyone to know about them. 4. He escaped at the speed of light, next. 3. It's a fictional universe. The right question is why wouldn't they? 2. Finally, a legit plot hole that isn't there to extend the video. 1. You're also right here. So, only 2 valid plot holes, making the video 80% filler. Pay attention to the movies you watch before making a video 💀

Vader has no reason to think his child is alive at all (and he only knew Padme was preggo, not that it was twins), so any amount of force abilities he MIGHT sense in Leia has nothing to do with a familial bond. The Rule of 2 is undone by its own rule being incorrect because the sith are ALWAYS looking for more power, they'll need assistance to take over their current master or maintain power. So they'll get an apprentice on the sly, in the shadows plotting to overthrow their master, or the master will straight up say "hey, fight to the death, prove you're worth my time" as Palps did with Luke and Vader, and Anakin and Dooku. The rule of 2 makes sense more in the short term than long term. Lucas at one point said the name "Skywalker" was kind of like the "Smith" of the GFFA, so it's a fairly common surname. Kind of like Antilles. And again, Vader had no reason to believe his child would be alive so there's no reason he'd look for anyone with that name, since his wife, his mother, and his child and even himself are dead. Nothing in the sequel trilogy is designed to make sense, it's just designed to sell, so don't think about fuel on Jakku. It's just stupid. If the empire fired at Yaving prime (a gas giant) it would have hit nothing, they couldn't guarantee a shot THROUGH it to hit Yavin 4 either, so they had to orbit around. If they did somehow destroy Yavin prime they would have had to wait for a recharge and by then the rebel forces would have abandoned the planet. The Jedi aren't really forgotten, but they're considered mostly extinct, some who weren't around during the time period grew up without Jedi walking about, and even during the time of their reign, in the outer rim where they had no real presence, they may as well have been a myth. Lukes X-Wing got prepped by R2 before he was even back to the base, outside waiting, where the Empire hadn't gotten to yet, then he bailed, opposite side of the planet. Droids don't feel anything, but their programming is so wonderful that they project it, and if they can project it, and they can SEEM to have emotions, then they can be manipulated. Leia's memories of Padme are force visions "just images really, feelings". and I honestly don't have an answer for the hyperdrive, just a goof I guess.

Biggest plot whole I have noticed is how R2 and C3PO, both knew Anakin before he turned to the darkside. In fact, so did Leah, as R2 was initially owned by Padma, and later C3PO (not to mention Anakin built C3PO) as well. Then there is everything the two droids did during the clone wars. AND in Clone Wars, Anakin risked his life to save R2 in one episode. And yet, none of the characters seem to recognize them in episodes 4, 5, 6.

#9 Vader was going to kill Palpatine if Luke joined him. #8 Obi Wan had no idea Anakin survived the fight on Mustanfar. He had no reason to fear Luke being found. Not until Luke was nine did he find out Anakin was alive. He thought he killed him again, so he still had nothing to worry about afterwards. #6 A Laser can't blowup a gas planet. The bigger plot hole is why does it take a battle station that is capable of traveling across the galaxy so long to orbit. #3 Droids are programmed to "feel pain" in an effort to play on the feelings of anyone who may do them harm and to trick them to stop. #2 Padme didn't die during childbirth. That was a ruse to trick the Emperor. She was actually taken with Leia to Alderaan, where she died a few years later. The future Disney+ show Princess Leia Teenage Diaries will fix that plot hole.

About no. 4: I think its because Luke‘s hyperdrive actually worked.

1 - Why didn't Vader sense that Leia is his daughter? Why should he? I don't know why you'd expect him to be able to do that. He also didn't sense Luke was his son. The emperor eventually told him that. All he ever sensed with Luke was that he was strong with the force. Later when he knew who he was, he was then able to sense his presence. Not a plot hole. At all. 2 - The Rule of two makes no sense. The rule of two was created by Darth Bane thousands of years ago. The jedi and the sith were always at war, but the jedi constantly defeated the sith, and the reason was that the sith were constantly betraying each other. Groups of weaker sith would join forces to depose a stronger ruler, and the hierarchy got weaker and weaker. Eventually Bane decided that the Sith should only be the rulers of the galaxy, not a force of fighters, and enacted the rule of two, killing all of the weaker sith. It was decided that there would be a master and an apprentice. If the apprentice could overthrow the master, then it was time for that master to step aside for his more powerful apprentice. If the apprentice failed, he would be replaced, with the master seeking to find a more powerful apprentice. Not a plot hole. 3 - Why did Obi-wan hide Luke on Tatooine. Hiding someone in plain sight is a perfectly legitimate strategy. Vader hated Tatooine and would never go back there. He had a terrible history there, and he had gone on at length about how much he hated sand. He also had no reason to be looking for Luke. He didn't even know that he had a son. It might have been wise to change his name. But Luke was growing up with his family, and their family name was Skywalker. Where do you think Anakin got his surname? They didn't just make it up. He wasn't the first Skywalker. So it wouldn't be odd at all for there to have been a boy named Skywalker living with a family that had a past association with the Skywalkers on Tatooine. Not a plot hole. 4 - The Millenium Falcon is fueled up on Jakku. I didn't honestly pay that much attention to those movies. I watched them when they came out, but I haven't rewatched them since, and since they weren't very good, I'm just not very familiar with this. I'll probably go back and give them a more serious watch at some point. This seems kind of nitpicky, but I can't say with any certainty at this time. Maybe a minor plothole, but I'm not sure. 5 - Why didn't the Empire fire at Yavin. This is obviously not a plothole. If I was piloting the deathstar, I wouldn't even think to try to shoot through the planet to destroy the moon. They didn't think they were in any real danger. From their perspective, they were attacking the rebels, the rebels weren't coming after them. Trying to shoot through a planet would seem really odd to me, and there are countless legitimate reasons why it might not have worked. Maybe with hindsight it's reasonable to say maybe we could have just shot through the planet to destroy them, but in the moment I see no reason why they should have thought to try that. Obviously not a plothole. 6 - The Jedi being forgotten You might be ascribing more fame and notoriety to the jedi order than they deserve. They seemed like they were mostly considered a myth even before they were wiped out. The junk trader on tatooine referenced jedi offhandedly, but the way I'd reference a ninja - what you think you're some kind of ninja? He didn't recognize Qui-gon as a jedi, even though he mocked him asking if he thought he was some kind of jedi or something. He didn't think twice about it when Qui-gon used the force to manipulate the dice roll. I just think that outside of Coruscant most people had never actually had any real interactions with the jedi even before the clone war, and only knew them by their legend. The jedi were a small faction that had some relationship to the republic government, but they weren't even directly involved with the government. Kind of like - I know generally who congress is, and I can tell you the name of the house ways and means committee, but I don't know the first thing about what that committee actually is, who is on it, what they do, or anything else about it. And I'm sure if the ways and means committee were disbanded, then in 20 years only the most hardcore of political wonks would even remember that there ever was such a thing. Not really a plothole. 7 - Luke's inexplicable escape This is another one that is just obviously not a plothole right out of the gate. Luke left in a single x-wing fighter, and he left long after the battle was over. The empire was trying to stop transport ships. They weren't concerned about single pilot fighters. It doesn't even seem a little bit strange that they couldn't be bothered with a single x-wing leaving the planet long after the rest of the battalion stormed through the blockade. This is like if you're trying to get rid of a bug infestation and you dig out an anthill. You don't go chasing down every individual ant. You're trying to get the queen and the nursery. The drones are irrelevant. Obviously not a plothole. 8 - Droids feel pain Obviously they programmed the droids to feel pain because they wanted to be able to torture them. Whether it was for some sick pleasure or to get the droids to comply, the answer is obvious. Why would they have been torturing that droid one way or another? If they had a reason to torture the droid then they obviously had a reason to program it to feel pain. Obviously not a plothole. 9 - Leia has memories It's not completely outside the realm of Star Wars probability for Leia to remember vague images of her mother. She did meet her mother as a baby. I remember some things from before I was a year old. My earliest memories are probably from around 3-6 months. I remember before I could walk, and I learned to walk very early. And it's pretty unusual for people to have memories that early. Most people don't. Certainly I don't remember anything from the day I was born. But I'm also not a space wizard with natural born space wizard powers that resemble psychic powers. She could be getting some sort of force echo, similar to what Cal Kestus gets by touching objects in Jedi Fallen Order. Understandable, but not really a plothole in the context of the Star Wars Universe. 10 - Vader only disables the Falcon's hyperdrive Well, if I'm remembering right, Vader didn't disable the Falcon's hyperdrive at all. Vader ordered Lando's people to do it. And Lando's people probably realized that Lando had a history with that ship and would want it back, so they probably assumed that Lando wouldn't want the ship seriously damaged. So it makes perfect sense that they would only want to temporarily disable the hyperdrive, and do as little actual damage to the ship as possible, thinking that Lando would get his prized ship back after this whole thing was over. Not a plothole.

Honestly some of these are simple enough. 1. Undeveloped storyline as explained 2. Palpatine wanted Vader to turn Luke and then in turn, Luke would have been tasked to kill Vader, preserving the rule of 2. Or Vader, as seen, wanted to and did killed Palpatine, again preserving the rule, had Luke accepted his offer 3. Undeveloped storyline as explained 4. When this movie came out the understanding of how the ships in the SW universe were fueled wasn't widely fleshed out, so the idea that the fuel source would decay over time wouldn't have been a consideration, also its possible Unkar Plott kept it fueled to use for himself to escape if shit hit the fan or had a buyer lined up. 5. The Empire didn't fire on Yavin primarily because it wasn't their target. Also "firing through it" wouldn't have been a good idea....its a GAS giant...it could have ignited creating other issues. Shooting through an object to hit something behind it should always be avoided unless absolutely necessary. 6. The Jedi being forgotten is a hard one, but think about this....only 10,000 of them, even if you say the 10K were just the knights, thats still an infinitesimal number compared to the wider galaxy. They were already super legendary as is. Yeah they led armies in the clone wars, but considered this....how many people worldwide can name elite military units from other countries that fought in WW2. Think about it...can the majority of people from Norway name a famous military unit from Belize that fought in WW2 somewhere? 7. Luke's Escape....easy....the Empire was pre-occupied. They were conducting a ground invasion of a huge rebel base and were waaay more concerned about a ground to space anti-ship cannon that had already claimed one ISD. A random X-wing flying around was of no concern to anybody at that point. 8. Droids feeling pain....yeah....never made sense to me either. 9. Undeveloped storyline as explained 10. This one is more a hindsight plot hole. By the same logic you can say, why didnt they have 100 stormtroopers guarding the MF, why didnt he have all the Cloud City guards disarmed to prevent them from helping. This one was just a victim of hindsight plotholing.

The rule of Two is not so senseless as you might think. A master and his pupil is a perfect balance in the dark side. Considering that the tradition wants the pupil to overcome and replace the master one day, the pupil has to try and dispose of his master. On the other side, the master is in need of a strong pupil, to be able to do his bidding. Sith deal in absolutes and they expect no more that perfection. So a weak pupil is worthless. Therefore the master seeks to either strengthen his pupil or find someone else to replace him. That is why the pupil is constantly either send on difficult missions or the master sends someone after his pupil to test his powers. That is why Anakin had to kill Dooku and why Sidious was prepared to sacrifice Vader to Luke. Makes sense, see?

I don't recall, does Vader share any scenes with R2D2 or C3PO? Potential plot hole, not recognizing them. And, how can Luke's lightsaber survive the drop in ESB and show up, pristinely, in TFA.

In general I find that "plot hole" really just means "something that I don't understand". Maybe it's a plot point that wasn't explained well enough, and related to something that happened offscreen. Or maybe it's just something that doesn't really matter. Picking away at them is more annoying that it is anything else.

The rule of two may be more of a "if you have more than two, you're gonna have a bad time" kind of rule. Implying, perhaps, that more than two draws too much attention, will create infighting between them and their ambitions, or even that it divides their individual influence too much.

The whole thing with Leia and her mother was a big plot hole for me, as soon as Padme died. In Jedi, Luke specifically asks Leia, "Do you remember your Real mother?" Not your adopted mother. Clearly there is a recognition that the mother that raised her, wasn't her birth mother, hense Luke saying REAL mother. And with Leia answering, yes, that she died when she was very young, that she remembered she was beautiful and kind, had long hair, and being sad. Which meant that Leia understood what Luke meant, by her Real mother, rather than her adopted one. After the prequels, some people said, that you could say that Leia was remembering her adopted mother, rather than her birth mother. But, Leia said that she died when she was very young. So, unless things change in the SW series, Obi Wan, and her adopted mother dies early in S2 or something, ten is hardly very young to only have fleeting memories of her. And if her adopted mother survives right up until Vader blows up Alderan, then again, aged 17-18 you're going to remember a lot more of your mother than again fleeting images. Which brings us back to the fact that Leia remembered her real mother. This has bugged me ever since the screw up of the prequels. It doesn't make sense why Leia would say what she did in Jedi. Unless Leia has some form of genetic memory going on, that Luke clearly doesn't share with his sister, as her clearly says to Leia, that he has no memory of his mother. I like many others grew up believing that after the Twins were separated, Luke was with Owen, and Leia was with her unnamed at the time mother, who died when she was very young, and her stepfather remarried, to the woman that Leia called mother. And was left with fleeting memories or her real mother. And then she lost her adopted parents when Alderan was destroyed. After the prequels, we was left scratching our heads. I for one tend to treat the prequels, as practically another movie franchise and certain sequel events as not a part of the story, as it goes against character.

It's funny that the plot about Luke's last name was a plot hole even back when only the first film existed, and still doesn't make sense even without all knowledge we have of the two sequels and the prequels. Let's say we ignore the fact Vader is Luke's father, and that Tatooine was also Anakin's home planet. Based on just the first film alone, what do we know? We know Luke's last name is Skywalker, we know he lives with his aunt and uncle whose last name is Lars, we know Obi-Wan fought with Luke's father in the Clone Wars, we know that Darth Vader was once Obi-Wan's apprentice and we know that Vader betrayed and murdered Luke's father. So based on this info, we know Luke's father's surname was Skywalker, and both Obi-Wan and Vader knew a Jedi Knight named Skywalker who fought in the Clone Wars. Considering this, why wouldn't they have given Luke his aunt and uncle last name, Lars? Why risk Darth Vader discovering the son of the Jedi Knight that he murdered? This is probably just as dumb as Obi-Wan changing his name to Ben but keeping Kenobi as his last name. If he was a former Jedi Knight in hiding and the old master of Darth Vader, why would he keep the same name??

The Emperor wanted Luke to replace Vader. And, Vader wanted Luke to join him to destroy the Emperor. So, the 'rule of 2' still remains. The Emperor and Vader knew each other would scheme against each other over Luke. That is why they kind of worked together to turn Luke. (If that explains it)

I can answer the millennium falcon fuel plot hole with one quote: "THAT'S MIIINE!"

Droids feeling pain might be because it prevents them from needlessly damaging themselves

Of course he didn't recognise her as his daughter (and this gets brought up all the time). He didn't know he had a daughter, and she didn't know he was her dad. There was nothing to hide that might have gotten his attention.

I like how most of these are entirely the fault of the Disney flicks not paying attention to either the previous flicks or each other.

#10 "Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him" (Star Wars Rebels) and "Anakin is gone; I am what remains" (Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi). Anakin Skywalker, at that point, was dead, Darth Vader has no daughter. But..."I am your father!!" Yes, yes, I know, but this is after a boy named Luke Skywalker, protected by Obi-Wan Kenobi, starts using the force. That's not the same as "I am a member of the Imperial Senate and am on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan" or "you are a member of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor." #9 The Rule of Two was created to end the endless backstabbing and betrayal of the Sith Empire, and was more of a guideline than a "rule." After all, Sith aren't good at being told no. As far as seducing Luke to the darkside, it seems as though the Emperor had plans to replace his apprentice, Darth Vader (who he probably knew was plotting to everthrow him from the beginning) with Luke Skywalker. To counter, Darth Vader was planning to use Luke to destroy the Emperor. This is is why Palpatine demanded Count Dooku betray Asajj Ventress. There are always two, but those two are always jockeying for an advantage over the other. That's the point of the arrangement, and it will inevitably lead to others being involved in that duel power struggle. #8 On Tatooine with his family is the best place in the galaxy to hide Luke. How do we know this? Firstly, it's remote, even by outer rim standards. Secondly, for just the reason you gave, Darth Vader would not return there, but not necessarily because of the trauma directly. From his perspective, he would want to avoid the memories so they would not weaken him. Orbiting Scarif in Rouge One and on Tantive IV in A New Hope, Vader took a personal interest in the mission at hand--a trait shared across the books, movies, and shows--but did he go down to the planet's surface after the escape pod landed on Tatooine? No, he did not, and that was when he was already in orbit with a mission to complete, much less ambling along and discovering he has a son on Tatooine. #7 Do we know if it had been a long time since Han and Chewie lost the Falcon? Also, it had changed hands several times. Unkar Plutt (one-quarter portion guy) stole it from the Irving Boys who stole it from Ducain who stole it from Han and Chewie. Even if it had been a long time since its true owners had been home, the Falcon could have easily been fueled up by Ducain, or the Irving Boys, or Unkar Plutt (he cheated scavengers like Rey, but I'm sure he spent the kickback on something and I'm sure he had to get most of those parts off world to profit in the first place). #6 You answered that one already. The Empire was beyond arrogant. Grand Moff Tarkin was unwilling to evacuate even when the Death Star was definitely under threat because he was still beyond arrogant. Furthermore, is there any reason to believe the bolt would have gone through Yavin Prime? The Death Star can't fire a simple laser, the science just doesn't add up (the energy production and recoil alone rule that out). It would have to fire antimatter. They would not be using force, a force that could puncture the gas giant, they would be using antimatter to destroy matter, which would destroy Yavin Prime but not Yavin IV. #5 Why would Luke know about the Jedi? He was a moister farmer on Tatooine. They are isolated compared to others on Tatooine and the desert planet itself is isolated. Not only that, Luke's adoptive parents were intent on sheltering him from his connection with the Jedi so he would not follow in the footsteps of his father. As for others besides Luke, the rebels regularly say "may the force be with you" and imperial leadership mentions the Jedi during their "board meeting" in A New Hope. As for the rest of the galaxy, we don't get much interaction with them unfortunately. Keep in mind, they are under a repressive authoritarian regime that controls information. Not only that, it would be extremely dangerous to talk about the Jedi even if you know about them. Remember, Trace and Rafa Martez (Season 7 of Star Wars the Clone Wars) barely knew who the Jedi were, and they lived on Coruscant, where the Jedi lived, and that was before the Jedi were all but wiped out! Here's a historical example. How many Chinese people today know about the Tiananmen Square protests and subsequent massacre? That was in 1989, not long ago. Of those who know about it, how many know the details? Of those who know the details, how many consider the crackdown a bad thing? Of those who consider it a bad thing, how many would talk about it? Of those who would talk about it, how many would talk about it among strangers or people they couldn't trust? That number is very very very low. I went to high school with a Chinese guy who had never heard of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Of course, youtube is banned in China, so they aren't likely to hear about Tiananmen Square from me. They live in the same country this major event occurred and don't know it; whereas, Star Wars encompasses a whole galaxy. #4 The Falcon escaped Hoth, so why not Luke's X-wing? The blockade was designed to prevent the large transport ships from escaping, and failed at that due to the ion cannon I might add. Preventing a smuggling ship and a small fighter craft from escaping would be a whole different ball game for a planetary blockade. #3 These droids were likely programmed to feel pain. There was no logical upside to freezing Han in carbonate when he could have had a fortune either, but this is Jabba the Hutt we're talking about. #2 You answered that one already as well. It's likely that Leia is remembering her adoptive mother. After all, she was brought to Alderaan as a baby and her first memories of a mother figure would be of Queen Breha Organa. Also, she could have experienced force visions like her father did. #1 You got me there! This one might actually be a plot hole. Sounds like they should have blown up that piece of junk before it reached the sky. Or, Vader just forgot about op R2, like Old Ben "forgot" about him (Obi-Wan never owned R2-D2, so what he told Luke was true, from a certain point of view).

"Beautiful. But sad. Just thoughts really, images." This isn't hard. Her feelings of Padme come from her latent Force sensitivity. She doesn't know that, though, so all she knows is "she died when I was very young." Which is a truth, she was about as young as you can be. She seems to be naturally empathetic, as well, and her descriptions line up with how she might have reconciled force insights as an infant in to the other flashes of memory one has with youth.

George Lucas could easily have avoided the Luke’s last name is Skywalker problem by giving Anakin a different last name in Episode VI. Then there would be no reason Anakin Jones would ever suspect Luke was his son, since Skywalker would be the pseudonym.

Everyone knows the biggest plot hole is how somehow Palpatine returned

Vader doesn’t recognize Leia, I can accept that as they have never met. However, uncle Owen not recognizing 3PO is the biggest plot hole that everyone overlooks. They lived together for 10 years! A new coat of paint doesn’t change anything, it’s Anthony Daniel’s in there. Why would he even ask ‘you must be a protocol droid?’. He knows damn well what he is, he owned him!

Not destroying Yavin Prime: Perhaps they didn't want to waste the fuel/energy/crystals/whatever needed to destroy the planet. I believe there is meant to be some kind of cooldown or charging needed, and destroying Yavin Prime would leave the Death Star vulnerable as it wouldn't be able to then attack Yavin 4. The Jedi being forgotten: I never took this as the Jedi being forgotten so much as a wild propaganda campaign against them. They were already mythical figures in their prime, but I suspect that most people would have accepted the Empire's accusation that they're traitors and that they were wiped out for it. Considering how real world propaganda can take hold inside a single generation, it's not unreasonable to think that anyone under, say, 50 or 60 years old would have no real memory or attachment to the Jedi. Leia remembering Padme: This one is definitely a planet sized plot hole. Perhaps the Force was allowing her to perceive Padme outside the womb, and not being taught about the Force, she mis-understood this as genuine memories. But then childhood amnesia would prevent this from happening anyways, as children in real life largely forget the first few years of life for a variety of possible reasons. Even if Padme didn't die in child birth, Leia wouldn't remember her, so it's a stretch to think that nascent Force visions as a fetus would be remembered.
