If plot holes are too big and obvious then they will adversely affect any movie but I would say they aren’t usually that much of an issue if you are enjoying and invested in the story being told and you’re more likely to excuse any plot holes you do notice anyway as you’ve seen value in the story being told.

If you’re not invested and having a good time of it then I’d say you’re far more likely to focus on whether the movie even makes sense to begin with and one full of plot holes no matter how big or small is going to get torn apart by those that are just trying to at least follow what plot is being served up to them.

I agree that ensuring you have a bullet proof plot isn’t going to stop a bad movie from being a bad movie but plot holes are going to be criticised all the same when they’re part of the problem.

You have now seen the TROS film?

Or are just commenting on what others have said about it?

You seem to be spamming your question, here is what I’ve already said in response in another thread:

It’s the same thing as Luke testing his.

Except it’s not the same and that’s what my initial point was in replying to Yotsuya. Rey testing her saber was already discarded as a possible in story reason for igniting her saber since it’s clear it was completed well before this scene and would have been tested back when it was actually completed rather than carrying around an untested saber with no tools on hand to continue working on it if it doesn’t work the first time you go to use it. It is literally just the movie doing a soft 4th wall in saying “look audience, Rey has built a new lightsaber”. If they did have her adding the final few components that she scrounged from Obiwan’s hut and then testing it, then there was a reason in the story itself. As it is, her actions are inexplicable as presented and therefore the only reason left is the obvious meta nature of the reveal.

However it makes no sense that this is Tatooine, a place important to the audience and not to a single character involved.

Yes, another issue with the scene among others I’m sure if you continue to think about it as JJ hopes you don’t 😉

You have now seen the TROS film?

I have seen footage of the scene on YouTube and read the leaked plot months ago. I might watch the full movie at some stage just to see it in it’s completed form but I’m not paying to see on the big screen what I already know I won’t enjoy.
