Topic: A by no means exhaustive list of Star Wars plot holes.
+Anonymous A — 1 hour ago #68,821
Star Wars contains several prominent plot holes and logical inconsistencies spanning across its various trilogies. Let's look at some.
Original Trilogy Inconsistencies
Obi-Wan Doesn't Remember R2-D2: In A New Hope, an older Obi-Wan Kenobi claims he doesn't remember ever owning a droid, despite the prequel films showing him going on extensive adventures alongside R2-D2 for years.
Hiding Luke on Tatooine: Obi-Wan hides infant Luke with Owen and Beru Lars on Darth Vader’s home planet under his literal birth surname, expecting the Empire never to look for him there.
Leia Remembers Her Mother: In Return of the Jedi, Leia tells Luke she remembers her real mother (Padmé) as being "sad", but Padmé dies moments after giving birth in Revenge of the Sith.
Prequel Trilogy Logic Gaps
The Jedi Failing to Spot Palpatine: The Jedi Council spent over a decade interacting daily with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine—who was openly Darth Sidious—without sensing his dark-side presence, despite sensing minor disturbances across star systems.
Jedi Erasure in 19 Years: Just two decades after thousands of Jedi served publicly as military generals in the Clone Wars, the Force and the Jedi are spoken of as if they were an ancient, forgotten myth.
Sequel Trilogy Issues
The Holdo Maneuver: Vice Admiral Holdo hyperspace-ramming a massive dreadnought fleet in The Last Jedi created a logic gap over why automated kamikaze lightspeed jumps weren't standard military strategy throughout galactic history.
The Wayfinder Dagger: In The Rise of Skywalker, a dagger found by Ochi of Bestoon is oddly shaped to precisely match the exact cross-section of the fallen second Death Star's wreckage from a specific viewing angle decades later.
