10 Major Plot Holes In The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

[@robmcdonald992]

It’s almost like the “writers” didn’t have a clue what they were doing.

[@arghjayem]

Yep, but you could say the same about George and the Prequel Trilogy. The only plus point for the prequels were that it was all on George…..with the amount of writers on the sequel trilogy you would have thought one of them had a clue! 😂

They/them writers

[@stephenwells6434]

@@arghjayem On the contrary, Lucas knew exactly what he wanted to do with the prequels. His execution left much to be desired (by his own admission he isn't the best director), but the prequels still had a unified, internally consistent narrative about the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of the Empire. The sequel trilogy, by contrast, had many different creative forces attempting to shape it, leading to constant rewrites throughout production.

[@MattKumm]

It didn't help that when Disney bought Star Wars (*cough* pressured George to sell it *cough*) they took all of the post -RotJ material and declared it non-canon. Then, making matters worse, Iger got dollar signs in his eyes and pushed for rapid deadlines to release a new SW movie about every other year, leading these writers, who clearly had no dedication to the scrapped source material and a PC agenda to carry (with the notable exceptions of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni), to rush through these projects for the sake of milking the cash cow.

About to say the same thing. Those 3 get a pass in my book. I'll even give it to Luke since Anakin's force ghost probably at some point taught Luke that knowledge

[@osriccauldwyn]

And none of it matters because Rey wasn't channeling only Force Ghosts, but every Jedi who had returned to the force, as all non-sith living things do when they die in Star Wars. The specific voices heard were more for the audience's beneift, as nods to the fallen jedi that we would be familiar with.

[@der_peevmeister]

[@jimmyjayjackson6776]

The entire final trilogy was a disaster that made no sense.

[@DoctorRayman]

To be honest, I still think Ep7 and Ep8 are fine to great in their own right. Yes, 7 was blatantly following the blueprint of the original film, but I kinda get that - it was the first film without Lucas and LucasFilm probably didn't want to rock the boat too much, simply send fans a gentle reintroduction that assured them this was the same franchise they had always loved. Ep8, whilst not perfect, had some genuinely interesting ideas and seemed set to take the franchise in a bold new direction. It was only when Ep9 retconned most of Ep8 and gave us a lackluster conclusion that made no sense and was clearly done in reaction to the divisive response to Ep8 and Solo that it became clear LucasFilm had no vision for this series and were simply looking to make as much money off them as possible, damaging Ep7 and Ep8 in retrospect because it's now clear that they had no idea where they were going with the interesting threads they did seed. Such a shame, but at least SW has mostly redeemed itself with the Disney+ content (Boba Fett notwithstanding!)

[@eyeofodin01]

3:29 it's not really a plot hole in the sense that Yoda tells Obi-Wan that Qui-Gon trained him after he died. In fact, at the end of revenge of the sith, Yoda tells Obi-Wan that he has some new training for him from an old friend. Chances are good Yoda taught a lot of Jedi how to communicate through the force post death after he was taught by Qui-Gon.

[@SHFirefly]

And Anakin was taught by Obi-wan and Ahsoka was possibly taught by Anakin but everyone else? Who knows

[@matthewrosenthal753]

Yoda was taught by Qui-Gon, he trained Obi-Wan, they both trained Luke. Anakin was trained in the last 30 seconds of his life. And The others were all dead before Yoda was trained as at the end of Revenge of the Sith he specifically states an old friend has RECENTLY returned from beyond. Teach you to commune with him I will. We know Qui-Gon taught Yoda. So it was something that took place during the film.

[@cbiscuit456]

I was literally about to mention this XD

[@chrisschultze6974]

​@SHFirefly totally agree. I was going to write this myself. Qui-Gon Jinn taught Yoda. We saw this in the Clone Wars series. Yoda taught Obi-Wan Kenobi. We saw this a the Revenge Of The Sith. I would agree that he taught many of the Jedi we heard in the ROSW, but I believe that maybe they could of mentioned that face in ROTS when he told Obi-Wan about the training he has for him. He could of added that he taught other Jedi, as well. However, Yoda could not have taught Kannan Jarrus/Caleb Dunn, he was still a padawan at the time. He most likely did not teach Anakin either because of the apparent anger and fear Anakin showed in ROTS and his fall to the darkside. And he definitely could not have taught Ashoka Tano. She was a padawan and she left the order before Yoda was taught. Those three are still questionable.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

@@chrisschultze6974 Obi-Wan taught Anakin in the last 30 seconds of his life. This is canon. Has his eyes closed after seeing Luke, he hears Obi-Wan you teaches him to become a force Ghost, so while Ashoka and Kannan maybe questionable Anakin is not.

[@winterpull]

They tried to play it off as if the bombs were magnetic or something silly like that. Agree with you 100%. It was at this early point in the movie, especially after the preceding Poe Dameron dialogue, that I realized this movie sucked. I kept watching, hoping there would be a turning point for redemption. It never came. The woman I sat next to left wisely during the Liea Poppins scene, salvaging another hour of her life. I wasn’t as smart. I’ll never forget a group of us strangers, brought together in a shared horrifying experience, looking at each other in disbelief once the credits finished and the theater lights illuminated our pallid faces. As the haze cleared from my consciousness, I vividly recall the following words escaping my lips; “W’thefug did we just watch”. And that is the moment I realized Star Wars was in its death throes

[@liamcullen3035]

Agreed, that annoyed the sh*t out of me. They were trying to tap into that WWII aesthetic that the originals used so well. But the tactics of using drop-bombs in space is just so stupid when forward-firing torpedoes are a well-established part of the universe. That whole opening scene of The Last Jedi just made me mad. In fact, I think it’s the one movie of the three that pissed me off the most.

[@SimonAshworthWood]

@@liamcullen3035 You never saw Empire Strikes Back? Tie Bombers were introduced in that movie, bombing the asteroid where the Falcon was hiding. My understanding is that the bombs are attracted to the gravity of the objects they are bombing - and may also be given some impetus by the bomber when first released.

[@liamcullen3035]

@@SimonAshworthWood You raise a good point, and yes, I am fully aware of TIE Bombers. However, they never dropped bombs on a *warship* from above. In other media that featured TIE Bombers, the gravity-dropped bombs were always used on planetary ground targets, and instead they used missiles to attack warships. Bombing the thousands of asteroids in an asteroid field in an effort to flush out The Falcon is, admittedly, also pretty dumb. But at least it wasn’t (presumably) as suicidal as Poe’s insubordinate bomber attack.

[@texZR2]

Qui Gon, trained with the force priestesses yet never finished his training, therefore he couldn’t fully retain any form, qui gon taught yoda, and he went to learn from the priestesses how to keep his body, and taught obiwan… whom in turn taught anakin in final moments just before his consciousness slipped into the void.

I don’t have as big a problem with the death star bits ending up semi-intact on a different moon of the same planet. It’s cool enough and the physics isn’t really that much of a stretch. They gave some unnecessary explanation in one of the novels about the debris being ejected through hyperspace, but that bunk isn’t at all necessary. I imagine the sturdiest part of your superlaser weapon is going to be the boss’s room. Seems like what Imperial engineers might do. And debris caught in orbit of the Forest Moon could easily be destabilised and pulled down onto Kef Bir when they pass each other, assuming they have different orbital periods. Metal chunks of debris that large would also absolutely survive re-entry. It’s smaller rocks that completely burn up on their descent, but rocks much smaller than those death star bits make it to Earth’s ground intact all the time. I don’t see why they had to make it a different planet - the forest moon probably had some oceans. Maybe they didn’t want any hints of Ewok.

It's supposed to be some special TIE in the expanded material so it is has a hyperdrive, but they clearly made that up later.

9:16 - 9:20 "By all accounts and purposes, the most likely person to be the chosen one was Anakin." Most likely? Dude, George Lucas, himself, confirmed that Anakin was the chosen one. From Episode I to Episode VI, Anakin/Darth Vader was the main character and the one who brought balance to the Force.

3:38 thats wrong.. this was explained partially in the clone wars when yoda goes on his quest with the wills or whatever and hears qui-gon jinn during or at the end of it and he says hes going to teach him and since hes already dead that means he couldve taught others as well..

i got 1. -----when did 3p0 end up in the hands of sith ? and why would they program him to not tell non-sith sith secrets?

[@thesynthesizer5030]

About the voices... We know that Obi-wan, Yoda and Anakin are Force ghosts. Ahsoka couldve learned from any one of those (if she's even dead at that point, we dont know that for sure) So that leaves Gallia, Jarrus and Unduli. Truth be told, Unduli also practices the Living Force, so she mightve become a force ghost by ''accident" As far as Poe goes, in the official comics, he tells Finn he was yeeted out of the TIE when it crashed. Kinda like how you fly through the windshield if you arent wearing a seatbelt.

[@gadaadyn8190]

Honestly think the beginning of the movie should have been Rey retrieving a kyper crystal from a crave

[@seantlewis376]

Kyber crystals were not brought into movie canon until Rogue One. I suppose that with the opening The Force Awakens, she certainly could have found a kyber crystal, thought it was pretty, and kept it until she learned what it is. Yes, that could work.

[@ldcg106]

[@Paradigmfusion]

One question I had at the end of Ep 7, why the hell is Rey and Leai hugging like old friends? they never met, they dont even really know each other exist up until that point.

[@kenbrown2808]

because (short) Leia and (tall) Chewie looked awkward on camera.

[@shakezoola1114]

I still genuinely think there was a story being developed where we would find out Rey was Luke's daughter or Kylo's twin or something like that but then someone at Disney saw the rumor mill and decided they just had to "surprise" us with what we got instead. It's like the sticker saying "Your Snoke theory sucks". Yeah it would have just been terrible if the big baddie was actually someone we've seen before like oh Starkiller? Building a Starkiller base? Just because one person might predict what you're going to do with a story doesn't mean you HAVE to change it but here we are. Just my theory though.

[@dylanjc]

For #6, I'm pretty sure the implication was that if you strike down Palpatine, you'll become some incarnation of him. Since he technically strikes himself down, it ends his ability to reincarnate. Yes I know that opens other plotholes too.

[@pasjc2001]

Jesus Christ. You can't say "how did any of the Jedi voices work" and not mention the Clone Wars, and then bring up The Chosen One prophecy from the prequels where the prequels VERY CLEARLY state that it was misread. Qui Gon taught Yoda how to become one with the force in the Clone Wars series, and again taught Obi-Wan in his series. Yoda taught Luke, and could very easily have taught any of the other masters who appeared in voice form. Luke could have taught Asohka since they interacted. The only 2 that don't make sense are Anakin, which was a pothole from Return of the Jedi created by the prequels, and Kanan.

[@soulreapermagnum]

supposedly from what i've heard, obi-wan taught anakin how to do it in the seconds before his death. don't recall where that info originates from unfortunately.

[@Deuteromis]

Yoda only suggests the prophecy was misread nothing more. And as for Anakin becoming a force ghost so easily, he was literally created from the Force, so it's not a stretch that he was able to do it.

[@chrisc4262]

Pummeled by Palpatine while showing Rey laying on her back is diabolical 😂😂😂😂

[@lookingforwookiecopilot]

"The Sith have been extinct for a millennia" yet the force is out of balance and there's a prophesy to bring it back? Now THAT'S a plot hole! Anyway, Annie was chosen to bring balance to the force by destroying the Jedi, which he did in ROTS. It was a Sith prophesy that had been "misread" as Yoda put it,....and this is a hill I'm willing to die on, lol.

[@kenbrown2808]

I agree with that theory. except I believe the prophecy was a warning that was misread.

[@JuliusShelton-cl2yh]

The explanation to Rey’s force detection failure was that she was clouded by emotions (I don’t like the sequels, just playing devils advocate )

[@wickideazy]

Regarding Rey and her Force abilities: It is well-established in SW that a Jedi feels the Force best when they are, to quote a certain diminutive green individual, "calm, at peace...passive." The shock of seeing the ship explode and the horrific thought that "OMG I JUST KILLED CHEWIE" would have interfered with Rey's fledgling ability to sense his presence. As to the lightsaber, Rey's entire life up to this point was spent on a planet where she had to scavenge absolutely everything she needed to even survive. It is made very, glaringly obvious that the lightsaber has been repaired, in the very footage used for this video. If you look at 0:40 where it broke, you can see that it split along the shiny silver band above the handgrip. Then at 1:07 we see that exact area of the split has been repaired: that area is now a different metal sleeve with a black band that has small screws and obvious welds above it.

[@hulud]

The killing of Palpatine was not what brought balance to the Force. Balance doesn't mean everything is just the good guys. Anakin brought balance by bringing the Jedi to their knees and leveling the field.

[@charliejjrome]

I always thought this since the Phantom Menace. "The Chosen Ome will bring balance to the Force" At the time there were 2 Sith in hiding and thousands upon thousands of Jedi spread across the galaxy enforcing law and order. Balance in that context only meant one thing. That Anakin would destroy the Jedi. It always bugged me that Masters like Yoda and Windu could not see that obvious conclusion.

[@hulud]

@@charliejjrome Yeah I completely agree, it really doesn't make sense that they wouldn't understand what balance means. For them it was like "There's nothing bad happening so all is balanced."

[@RyanKarolak]

​@@charliejjromeI agree. I think perhaps it may be explained that the Jedi council was arrogant enough to think that "balance" meant peace, and that only them could provide that. That maybe that bias clouded even Yoda and others. The Jedi Council being out of touch and having a sense of moral authority is a common theme in the prequel series and shows. The Jedi also saw the dark side as a perversion of the force, so they may have interpreted that "balance" implied the removal of that perversion. Otherwise it would seem kind of obvious to me that at the time of the prequel series and the clone wars that the Jedi and light side greatly outweighed the Sith and dark side users. Anakin and Vader's actions greatly "balanced" the two by largely wiping out most of both, which was proportionally more Jedi than Sith.

[@HighHeelKnight]

10) Rey is a top notch mechanic, and Leia had secret Jedi training and personal laser sword. I'm pretty sure they could figure out how to fix a simple thing, like a lightsaber.

[@Atomic_Aegis45]

The Chosen One was Anakin, He didn't bring balance in the way the Jedi believed by destroying the Sith. He brought balance once he became Vader and joined Sidious before Order 66. At the time of the prequels release here were 2 people(Anakin and Palpatine) considered Sith Lords, and during the original trilogy we know of only 2 surviving Jedi(Yoda and Obi-wan). Once Obi-wan died, Luke would go on to take his place. Perfectly balanced at the time. Now that Disney has introduced so many survive Jedi and even corrupted some of them to serve the Sith, it is kinda of hard to tell if they kept things 1-1 on each side.

[@VariaIV]

Anakin blowing up the Death Star while Darth Vader fought the Borg, was honestly the best moment of episode 10.

[@SazTodd-t7z]

Wrong bro, the real part is when that space worm in Empire Strikes Back spits out Naboo and revives the trade federation, and when Mon Cala goes into civil was with the Clones. Sad to see Huyang died to Tuskan Raiders on Endor:( Episode 11: Come on, Return of the COUNTER-SITH???

[@VariaIV]

@@SazTodd-t7z You’re right, I completely blanked out on Episode 11

[@Sir_Jimmothy]

Regarding the force ghost thing, that was covered in the Clone Wars - Qui Gon was contacted by some force-powerful group, I forget which, and taught certain lessons, which he didn't have time to fully figure out by his death, so he can communicate but not manifest. Yoda was later contacted by the same group, and was able to learn these lessons properly, allowing him to become a full ghost. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Yoda says to Obi-Wan that he'll teach him how to commune with Qui-Gon, and perhaps was also further tutored by Yoda, opening the way for him to become a force ghost, which we know he did. As far as I know, no other Jedi we're aware of should ever have become a force ghost.

[@christophersnyder1532]

Of course there are other plotholes, such as when Luke asked Leia about her real mother, and they completely condradicted her statement, with the prequal, having Padme die, before Leia could get to know her. Plus, how did they get Synergy from the Jem And The Holograms movie, and re-named it BB-8? Take care, and all the best.

@@solvseus also Leia: *Had has training as a Jedi yet decided to pack Ben off to Luke. *Didn't ask Luke why Ben fell to the dark side. *Didn't try to find or reach out to Ben after he turned, just accepted his fall and moved on. *Decided to give her life to distract her son precisely while he was in a duel, giving his opponent the chance to stab him. *Didn't communicate with her son when he needed her help to defeat Sidious.
