I want to know what the Rebel ground troops on Hoth with the blaster rifles were supposed to be doing.  Target practice for the AT-ATs?

Why didn't the Empire provide air support in the Battle of Hoth?

Why doesn't the Executor just nuke the Rebel Base from orbit? (it's the only way to be sure).

How can Han, Leia and Chewie survive in the asteroid without space suits?

What do giant space asteroid worms eat when they can't get Millennium Falcon? Subpart: How do mynocks keep their teeth sharp when power cables aren't around?

Why does the opening crawl say the Rebels are led by Luke Skywalker when they're clearly not?

Why does Han say this one goes there and that one goes there, when clearly that one goes there and this one goes there?

Bonus PT/OT crossover plot hole: If hate leads to suffering, and 3PO was made to suffer, did Anakin hate 3PO when he made him? Subpart: If Owen Lars, a free moisture farmer, had no use for a protocol droid in an environment such as Tattoine, why does Shmi Skywalker, a slave on the same planet, need one? To help program binary load lifters? If so, how does 3PO remember this?

More newly discovered plot holes and questions that need answering from Episode V coming soon.
