I liked the overall message of this guy was aiming for. I’ve thought to myself countless times, “Is it… is it feasible to make a movie/story in general without ‘plotholes’?” but honestly, that video put some things into perspective. Star Wars couldn’t be the same if we’re bogged down in technical stuff of how “x” works. Through “artistic licence”, you can have a fanatical setting without explaining much so long as you create an emotional draw into the story via characters and the rhythm of things.
It absolutely doesn’t mean you haphazardly throw up a setting and hope the characters do the rest, but you can certainly get away with a lot as he mentioned.

P.S. I also found his video about how artistically screen wipes were used in Star Wars. It does bug me at times though that he uses the SE versions for the base of his Star Wars analysis and his somewhat lacking knowledge on certain things, but there’s still some merit to the commentary.
