Hello everyone :)
Although I like all SW movies, I understand that there are quite few head scratching parts. Surprisingly there are more of them in OT for me than PT. Anyway here's my personal list (sorry if I missed the explanations):
Thanks for sharing. I've never thought of some of these. Others are pretty common, but very true. There are some I don't think are errors, or were fine as they were, and I've commented on those.
*NEW HOPE:*
[snip] Also what were other troopers doing while Obi-Wan was Force persuading one of them? Just standing without finding anything suspicious. Ok.
Presumably Obi-Wan was able to extend his mind trick to all of them.
-Why did Solo and Luke throw out Stormtroopers armor, their disguise? Because it stinks after trash? After trash compactor all their clothes should stink. Go to bathroom (should be on DS), wash, there you have some disguise back.
If I'm not mistaken, they took their helmets off in the prison block, and weren't able to bring them with them when they dove into the trash compactor. Not to mention that Leia didn't have a disguise, nor did Chewie.
-Leia believes that the Empire is tracking Falcon, so... she goes right to the hidden rebel base instead of meeting with an agent, search for bugs, or figure out any other way to send the plans.
This one has a couple explanations, but none of them are satisfactory.
-Obi-Wan said that Jedi were using swords as a weapon. Sword against gun? We see how it works in Prequels, and it worked ok when Luke was fighting bunch of Jabba's people, but they weren't too efficient (even Boba, who was wasted in an extremely stupid way), or one trooper, but what if there are ten enemies with guns?
Well, they do have the power of the Force. I imagine that that helps them a bit.
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:
-Why empire is using walkers on a flat surface? They can be good on bad ways, with obstacles, but flat surface? Also they can be defeated by a strong rope. (But hey, they look cool.)
Why not? It's a faster way to transport the troops, while keeping them sheltered. I don't know why they didn't just use something that could fly though.
-Yoda is an extremely powerful Jedi, but won't take part in war due to... what? He could use Force in battles, stopping entire ships. Too old? Body doesn't matter, right? Damn, even in prequels Yoda told his old body to f-off and increased it's strength for a short time with a Force to fight. But he won't fught the Empire anymore because... destiny?
He's a pacifist. Besides, he knows that even he isn't powerful enough to defeat the Empire. Remember, at 900 years old, he's probably pretty patient.
