TFA has two huge ones that cannot be fixed unless you edit the film.
I must be extremely stupid, what huge plot holes are there in TFA that are inconsolable?
So, the Falcon leaves Jakku… How does Han happen to be right there? Where is the First Order. They were in orbit of Jakku and not having patrols out to detect an escaping ship is incredibly stupid, especially when Kylo Ren is so keen to capture them. The leaked spoilers said they jumped to hyperspace and then Han found them. As it sits it is a huge hole. Then there is Starkiller Base firing on the Republic. Nothing about it is explained in the movie. We know there is a Republic, but how big is it? They have a fleet, so was the entire fleet in one place? They destroyed a system and just how did the people on Takodana see it? Is Takodana is the same star system? How is the republic destroyed by destroying one star system? The Old Republic spanned thousands of system so is this a little upstart or will the Republic regroup? How is the fleet destroyed? Any government dealing with an adversary will have multiple fleets. Was a special event going on that brought all the ships of the fleet together? That entire sequence made no sense. It required me googling info on what they had intended (some of the missing deleted scenes) to even get an idea of what had been intended. As it is now, it just doesn’t work. It leaves more questions than it answers. Lucas managed to not have any such glaring absence of data. He always managed to keep the audience informed about what was going on. This just feels like sloppy writing combined with sloppy last minute edits and the result is a section of the movie that really ruins it for me.
