Star Wars: 7 Massive Plot Holes The Sequels Stupidly Created

I did the exact same thing after the Force Awakens. I didn't even go see the other two, and I'm glad I didn't give them my money, because it only got worse. They basically broke the whole story, smashed every theme and plot thread star wars ever had.

[@lancemedley7740]

I absolutely HATED the ability to heal people, or even resurrect them in episode 9. One of the major parts of Anikan’s downfall was his obsession with learning how to stop people from dying!!! It was a false promised ability that was seemingly impossible. Then ray and kilo just do it so easily. SMH.

[@johnstovall7503]

On the other back in the day when the original trilogy was in theaters literally everyone I knew expected Luke to figure out how to grow his hand back to show If Vader hadn't fallen he could have healed himself. Maybe he would have if head writer leigh Brackett ( genuine old school science fantasy writer) for the 2nd film hadn't died before the 3rd one.

[@matthewbeland8443]

@@jlw35cudvm I agree. The force awakens, while some complain about it being too similar to a new hope (which is kinda true), was a good solid introduction. It properly introduced all the new characters, set up some plot points and questions to be answered later, without being too risky. However, things completely fell apart in episode 8. And while episode 9 tried to fix the mistakes of 8, there’s only so much you can do. Tbh, JJ abrams should have directed the entire trilogy instead of jumping back and forth between directors

[@w_4ca]

It was set up alright. Episode 7 set up a lot of storylines that left the fans wanting more. Then Episode 8 came around and said “Ya know all those plotlines you’ve invested yourself in and have been pondering for the last 2 years? Well they aren’t going anywhere!” and then by Episode 9 people didn’t give a shit anymore because Episode 8 made you feel like a chump for caring about where this was going.

I remember watching Force Awakens when it first came out, thinking "you know what, this is actually kind of cool. I want to find out more about what we're being shown here" such as who is the random girl on a desert planet who was chosen? What happened to her family she was waiting for? Who is maz, how did she Luke's saber "a story, for another time". Who's Snoke, what's his motives? Who were those samurai looking guys in Rey's vision? I just remember thinking wow they're setting up a lot in the first film to be answered in the next two films. I felt cheated after Last Jedi. Kill Snoke? Seriously? After all the fan theories about possibly being Plageuis? And what they did with Hux, who was this awesome young general in the first film with so much anger, they made him a buffoon. I can go on. But it's clear there was no plan for the trilogy. So many things were reversed, retconned, or just ignored. I still to this day want to know what Rey saw in her vision at Maz castle. We'll never know

[@heavymetalfan1167]

That's what most people thought

[@Codraroll]

I agree, there were definitely seeds of something good there. If I were to try to pinpoint the moment it all went wrong ... I think it would have to be the destruction of Starkiller Base. They could have built a decently cool trilogy around it as the major plot point. Imagine if the rebels failed to destroy the base in The Force Awakens. They could disable it, perhaps, but it would be left as a major threat to the galaxy while remaining the First Order's base of operations. It would be their one and only tool of asserting dominance over the galaxy, but a very effective tool at that. The Last Jedi could then be about the Resistance trying to avoid being hunted down by the First Order, which would involve greater stakes with Starkiller Base looming in the background. End the movie with the base coming back online and destroying another system. The Rise of Skywalker (probably with a different title) would then feature the heroes gathering support to make a desperate push towards the final destruction of the base, and thus of the First Order. The problem with the First Order is that we don't ever get to know what they want or how they will achieve it. Starkiller Base is a major plot point in the first film, but the First Order seems to be doing just fine without it in the second one. Same goes when they lose the Supremacy, and even Snoke himself. Episode 9 has the heroes and villains in the exact same positions as Episode 7, despite two great Resistance victories in the meantime. It's like nothing of that has had an impact. They had to pull an entirely different villain with an entirely different plan out from nowhere to give the trilogy any sort of meaning, and it was rushed like heck because there's only so much that can be done within one movie.

[@ch-xr2bx]

It's like they took everything The Force Awakens was trying to set up, and just flushed it down the toilet with The Last Jedi, and for nothing. We didn't even get M. Night Shyamalan jumping out to exclaim "what a twist!"

Then he acts on the nightmares, which action ends up creating a new Darth Vader, who once again destroys the Jedi temple - Luke brings about his own absolute worst nightmare. It’s a mirror of the events with Yoda in Empire. It’s fair to say this makes the motivations unclear to a fresh viewer, and therefore as a movie that anyone can pop in and see it falls short, but as a Star Wars movie for Star Wars fans the motivations are clear.

The biggest thing that always bugged me about the Force Awakens was Rey thinking Luke Skywalker was a myth. I know that seems minor, but it's just so stupid on so many levels I can't get over it. The destruction of the Empire was 30 years ago, that's nowhere near long enough for a mythical figure to form. To make things worse, Rey believed Han Solo was a real person despite thinking Luke wasn't. And before anyone brings up Han not believing in the Force in a New Hope, he never said he didn't believe in the Jedi (he had one on his ship for crying out loud). He doesn't even claim that the Jedi don't have some kind of magic powers. He's talking about the religious aspects of the Force, not the Force itself.

My opinion is that ultimately Star Wars just doesn't have the scope for this - it's not The Lord of The Rings. Every attempt to make more movies that expand a fun space adventure into something expansive has been a disaster. We can't just blame George Lucas anymore- not for this fact, anyway. It worked when they effectively did a soft reboot or something that was purely a veneer of fan service. The best way for them to make money out of owning Star Wars is make different stuff 'in the universe'. It can feel 'like Star Wars' without having all the same stuff again- the endless books etc. and The Mandalorian are proof of that. I don't think either is brilliant, but they have the artistic merit the sequels and particularly the prequels just don't have at all.

The original director for 9 quit so JJ had to make something out of nothing after Rian Johnson burned it all up but 9 was slightly better but nevertheless a disappointment for me. To make a trilogy or even a decent one like the original one or the prequels you need the same exact director, more time between the movie for fan feedback, no politics it, a FUCKING PLAN, and consistency through the whole thing.

[@warhead5225]

The fact that they didn’t even bother to have a full fleshed out plan for the trilogy is a huge slap in the face and that fact alone discredits this trilogy entirely. Passion drives Star Wars. George’s passion to bring a space epic to the big screen is what started it all. In 1977, people were blown away by the world building that would inspire movies to come. The audience saw what was happening on screen, but were also left wondering about the fall of Anakin and the clone wars that Ben Kenobi spoke about. I’m convinced Lucas had the whole trilogy planned out from the beginning and even had loose story threads that would go on to become the prequels. The prequels aren’t written very well. The cgi is questionable and the most important part, Anakins turn to the dark side, was rushed and didn’t feel like it was developed enough. But the prequels had, just like the original trilogy, amazing world building. You can still see the passion that was put into those movies. Without the prequels, we wouldn’t have had the tv show clone wars. Both the original and prequel trilogies were filled with expansive lore. In the sequels, it’s nothing NEW. Discount stormtroopers in the form of the first order, and discount Darth Vader in the form of Kylo Ren. If discount Darth Vader is the best character in your trilogy, you’re doing something wrong. There was no passion. No plan. Just the guaranteed dollar signs of a beloved franchise being brought back is what motivated them. Force awakens is passable at best, and knowing where the trilogy would go after it just makes it unwatchable for me. When I decide to sit down, and watch the story from the beginning to where it is now, I don’t watch the sequels. I go prequels, clone wars tv show, rebels tv show, rogue one, original trilogy, and then mandalorian as sort of an epilogue. Hell I even watch solo. But the sequels I have completely omitted from my head canon. Terrible movies where the big wigs just tried to capitalize on the fan base.

[@PowerfulRageMonkey]

@Bert Rogan Ok, I'll bite. 7. Either Anakin was the chosen one or the chosen one prophesized has not shown up yet. A prophecy passed down through generations using flowery poetic language leaves much room for interpretation. For instance, Palpatine could be the chosen one who "balances" the force by eliminating the bloated Jedi order. This seems to drop the Jedi into the same "Rule of two" territory as the Sith, which is arguably more balanced than completely eliminating one side. As for the "what good is balance if it doesn't last" BS, ever try to balance anything? Tips pretty easily. Restoring balance is nothing more than reset to zero. 6.What did Palpatine want? Power, duh. As stated in pretty much everything he ever says. He asks Luke to strike him down to turn Luke to the dark side. He could either peace out to his clones or possibly take over Luke's body as he planned to do with Rey while he was struggling with his turn to the dark side. "Taunting Rey to kill him just as he did to Luke" is a self-defeating argument in the guise of an additional point. This shows that his plan has obviously not changed, he was just set back by Vader's betrayal. As for Snoke trying to kill Rey when Palpatine wanted her alive, Sith betray each other constantly so it's pretty much par for the course to go against the boss's orders. 5. Presumably one would have to be in touch with the light side of the force to contact force ghosts. At a guess, it isn't a one way communication and requires input from both parties to work. This explains away all these points as Kylo wouldn't be trying to contact a Jedi ghost (it appears Anakin returned to being a Jedi after betraying Palpatine as evidenced by him only force ghosting in his Jedi form). This is the general problem with invoking magic, be it space magic or otherwise. It is ill defined with tons of wiggle room for whatever a script need. So chalk this all up to "space magic reasons". 4. Force healing has been around in games forever because healing factor always exists in games. Easy to mash the force into the for "space magic reasons". Jedi have extremely varied powers and not all Jedi can use all force powers. It could easily be a rare gift that few possess. We only see 3 people able to perform it, so why would you expect to see it used constantly? As mentioned, only 3 people use it so following universal movie logic you can assume that those are the only 3 people that have been onscreen that even could use it. They did not have to learn this ability from anyone. Who taught Rey to Jedi mind trick in Ep 7? Who taught Qui Gon to force ghost? They can be taught abilities, but most of the time they appear to use abilities as they become aware of them, usually by accident as we are repeatedly shown. 3. It looks like the death star is completely destroyed. Except you are showing the explosion with notable glowing debris (it's the purple bits in case you were wondering). For the scale of the death star these relatively small bits could easily account for the size of debris shown. As for the throne room surviving, doesn't it make sense that the Emperor's man cave would have some extra structural integrity similar to a panic room? You also can't see a shaft and assume it goes straight to the core. I'm sure they would have learned their lesson about shafts open to sensitive areas at this point. Even allowing that they would be dumb enough to port the core directly to the Emperor automatically closing bulkheads exist, so engineering to the rescue. 2. I could be lazy and say "space magic reasons" here as well but since I've shaken out a hand cramp already let's give this a shot. Qui Gon was "one of the few" as mentioned above. Yoda, Obi Wan, Anakin, & Qui Gon are all easy. Qui Gon learned it first and the other 3 have all obviously learned it since they are shown as force ghosts. The rest as far as I can tell were all prequel Jedi. I get to options from this. Option 1, Yoda knew about Qui Gon shortly after Ep 1 and was letting all of the Jedi masters know about it so they could learn. Option 2, since they seem to exist beyond death it is entirely possible that once Qui Gon learned how to communicate with leaving Jedi they were able to teach it to any Jedi who has or will ever die. Either way it is still entirely plausible within the established universe to have all of these force ghost voices pop up. 1. You're asking how a Sith Lord in control of an entire galaxy, who is smart enough to plan an entire galactic civil war in order to seize control was able to get a group of followers? It was most likely a contingency plan already in place when he was in power. Hence why he was so confident in trying to get Luke to strike him down. Especially given how often Sith turn on each other it would only make sense to have this back up if he has the ability to send his life force elsewhere. The Sith Eternal could also have been the native inhabitants. If they weren't capable of space travel yet and a dude shows up firing lighting bolts it would be very easy to ascend to god status on that planet and keep the planet secret so that no one finds your crazy cultist group. Uggh, "the fact that kind of power could only be contained in a space station". Mind citing the scientific journal you found that in? Since the weapon is shown in star destroyers then obviously it is possible. The Empire loves giant imposing weapons. By this logic you could see an AT-AT shooting laser bolts and then whine that it's impossible to fit lasers into a blaster, despite being shown otherwise. The simple explanation? Death star one blows up, they start building death star 2 since they already have working plans and it is large and imposing. My guess is the star destroyer fleet was already being built in secret alongside death star 2. You already have plans for a death star so all of the design team involved is shifted into improving and miniaturizing the planet-destroying laser. Starkiller base could derive from having different design intentions gearing towards making it larger and capable of multiple simultaneous firings. It could have also been built to sate the desire for something large and showy while the destroyer fleet can be dispersed across a larger area and not susceptible to a single attack. It could also be misdirection. Look at this giant show of force you've seen before instead of looking for the real weapon which is the fleet. TL;DR there are so many possible explanations for all for this if you just think about what you are shown. If you were given every single connecting fiber, engineering choice, and character thought that drives an entire galaxy across 9 movies it would be boring as shit. Movies are meant to be entertaining, go along for the ride and let your imagination fill the gaps as needed.

To be fair, Lucas' original vision for the sequels included a lot of Midichlorians. Not sure if we would have liked it any better.

Say what you want about the Prequels, at least you can tell their unique look at a glance at almost any shot. The problems Lucas describes don't seem too overwhelming on a conceptual level. There are good ideas to be had about an Imperial remnant seeking to return to power after building their forces in the Unknown Regions over many years. The Expanded Universe even ran with a story quite like that. I think they could have written a quite gripping story with the characters and themes featured in the sequel trilogy. But alas, they seem not to have done any planning whatsoever, and it all failed grossly in the execution.

There was ample time for them to shoot it down and the manouver would have been useless. Take all of those things out of the equation and it would have been stopped the minute the ship started to turn towards them. And like I keep saying, the ingredients have always been there.

Episode 7 was always supposed to be set up work for the new trilogy, while the overall story was a bit too copy and paste from the first two trilogies, it did introduce a new set of fairly interesting characters, and raised plenty of questions that fans would expect to be answered over the next two films. Episode 8, said screw your questions, intentionally rendering many of them pointless, or not addressing them at all, while largely going nowhere. They claimed to have taken many risks, but didn't really. They tease many plot twists that never pay off, and waste time with Kanto Bite and pretty much anything involving Finn or Poe. Episode 9, being hampered by a lack of setup from Episode 8 not really doing anything significant or leaving any direction forward, this film has to do a lot of its own setup. The first half seems rushed as it tried to fit everything that should have been in the last Jedi but wasn't. In the end it is more of a sequel to the aftermath books than it is to the previous two films. With odd pacing, poorly explained plots and no real plan on how it was going to play out.

Exactly. If you build a shoddy foundation (Episode 7) and put crooked walls (Episode 8) atop it, there's nothing you can do with the roof that would save the house. Somebody should have realized after Episode 8 that the story had spun into such a mess they needed more than one movie to fix it, but I guess a bunch of contracts had already stipulated that three movies would be made, so there was no turning back. Episode 9 was doomed from the set-up alone, or rather lack thereof. It could not possibly have been that good.

You can take extreme examples, like Palpatine and his long-distance "relationship" with Anakin's mother, but those are 1 in a 10000000 skills, and are built upon dozens years of learning of the force.

[@sadrequiem]

The "balance in the force" is so often misunderstood. It doesn't mean absence of war or sith/jedi. The Jedi had a stranglehold on the force, banning the teachings of the dark side and indoctrinating force sensitive children into their dogma. They caused an inbalance and thought "balance" meant peace. When Palpatine rose to power and created the Inquisitorium, now the dark side practitioners killing and turning force sensitives to serve the dark side. Again, a group trying to take control of the force. When Anakin killed the Emperor and subsequently died, Luke didn't seek to control the force or the destiny of all force sensitives. The sequel movies didn't really deal with the balance in the force but more on the character level. The balance within Rey and Kylo. It didn't really succeed at making it good, but balance as a whole had been restored when the empire fell. The sequels didn't change that fact. If Palpatine had created his new Empire, of course he would've destroyed the balance again, but that was prevented, and that's why Rey got the help from the force. Lame, but nothing in it contradicts the original movies or creates a plothole.
