Thanks for sharing and I really agree.

I dont know about ‘plot holes’ per se. However, he makes points I’ve always agreed with. A lot of criticism has been leveled against the PT (as well as TFA) for logical inconsistencies, continuity issues, and incredulity. Now I have issues with those films but logical inconsistencies and such are not among them.

My favorite of the Star Wars films was the first one. And it almost flies in the face of logic…proudly so.

I knew the first Star Wars had charm when C3P0 and R2D2 scamper across a narrow corridor of the Tantive IV while Stormtroopers and Rebel fighters were shooting at each other. The scene is utterly ridiculous and simultaneously wonderful and engaging because of that fact. In the midst of this deadly situation, those two goof ball droids walked right across and managed to not get shot! Even my child mind could perceive the irony.
