Plot Hole in The Empire Strikes Back Discovered

PLOT HOLEZ IN WURLD HISTORY!

FACT: US had atomic bomb in 1940s--blew up HIROSHIMA

WHY NOT JUST USE IT ALL THE TIME AND BLOW UP ALL OF JAPAN/GERMANY/ITALY/TUNISIA???????

FACT: US went to outer space in 1960s--IT'S ON TEEVEE!

WHY NOT JUST GO TO SPACE ALL THE TIME AND COLONIZE THE GALAXY?!?!?

CONCLUSION: Just doesn't add up.  Soemthing's fishy here.

There's a single, solitary answer that is sufficient to resolve all these nagging questions.

Who Was Obi Wan Kenobi's Real Master?
Time

Protocol Droid said:

I don't find the films inconsistent at all.

First, the films never directly indicate that Obi-Wan was Yoda's padwan.  What we do know is that Yoda was 'the Jedi Master that once instructed me' and that Obi-Wan was an impatient student ('Was I any different?').

However, I think the answer is that Qui-Gon was killed before Obi-Wan could complete the trials to become a Jedi, and Yoda became his surrogate Jedi instructor preparing him for the Jedi trials.  

Furthermore, because Obi-Wan sat on the Jedi Counsel, we can conclude he achieved the title of 'Master'.  Perhaps Yoda was the one whom continued his training on the way to the title of Master.

This seems like a very reasonable way to explain it, and it does nothing to harm continuity.

<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

Tobar said:

My guess would be that it gives Filoni an excuse to go back and reinforce that the Mandos have abandoned that peaceful society stuff GL introduced in the Clone Wars.

And to do that they have to create a DayGlo Mandalorian graffiti artist?

I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic towards this show, but this is looking more-and-more like a good example of the cure being worse than the disease.

What do you HATE about the EU?
Time

The Merchant said:

I really hate how the EU just completely ignores how in episode II the Old Republic is stated to not only have mapped out the whole galaxy, but two others completely. They keep the unknown regions thing, which frankly I don't like. 

A galaxy with some mystery to it is better than a galaxy where every nook and cranny's been charted and explored.

I have a terrible feeling that a series of treatments I read a few years ago are going to become a reality...

What treatments did you read a few years ago?

 Something with R.O.U.S.es, Luke getting his true hand reattached, Luke and Vader being cloned, and a Black Hole machine.

They were very stupid if I remember them right.

Sounds like SuperShadow. The bit about Luke getting his hand back is definately from his goofy-ass ST treatments.
