None of that stuff is plot holes.
This. Those “documentaries” weren’t even worth watching, as they were clearly written by someone who barely understood the movie. Half of it was just plain dumb: Lasers shot into the trash compactor water would electrocute everyone; why was Leia “wasting time” going to visit Obi Wan when it was urgent to get the plans to the Rebels; the gas giant Yavin would be too far from its sun for the Rebel base to be habitable (wrong!); the Death Star pulls everything downwards (wrong!); etc., etc.
He gets the one about Leia guessing that the Imperials are tracking them right, and the one about Obi Wan shutting the tractor beam off, but that’s about it.
All in all? Not worth watching.
Well, first off, he does point out how he’s a casual viewer of SW. Not everyone is as well versed in SW lore as the fans are, and not everyone has seen ANH enough times to know every detail by heart. He analyzing the film’s strengths not as a part of the franchise, but as a standalone film.
Secondly he does point out that he’s not knowledgeable enough about SW to really understand why Leia was heading for Obi-Wan on Taooine. His point was simply that it was a plot-convenience that needed a lot of in-universe explanation to be properly understood. Yet, since it serves the plot, most people don’t really think about it.

EDITOh! And the medal ceremony at the end. That stupid ceremony bothered me more than anything else.
I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say here. Are you still disagreeing with him, or are you agreeing with him here?
