    In ANH, Han says that he doesn't believe in the Force, calling it an ancient religion and equating it to magic and superstition. But just 19 years ago, the entire galaxy was defended by dozens of Jedi Knights. How could Han, who was probably a young man at that time, not believe in the Force? That would be the equivalent of someone claiming that the Reagan administration never happened.

        But wouldn't you believe in it if, just 19 years ago, there were dozens of people using "religious" powers to move objects with their minds, see the future, and communicate with each other?

    In ROTJ, Leia claims that she remembers brief images of her real mother. This is impossible, as Padme dies minutes after giving birth to her. So either Leia is full of shit, or she has Jedi memory powers that allow her to remember coming out of Natalie Portman's vagina. Actually, that would be awesome.

      It may only have been minutes, but Leia was born before Padme dies. So not impossible. And Leia is the daughter of one of the most powerful Jedi to have lived, so "Jedi memory powers" is not out of the question.

      I noticed something else. In ANH Obi-wan refers to Luke's aunt and uncle as Skywalkers... But in AOTC we learn that it was Anakin's Step brother and step sister in law.. so they wouldn't have the name Skywalker at all.

      1000 flaws with Star Wars, even the first: Why the fuck doesn’t the Star Destroyer destroy Leia’s ship with the plans instead of boarding it?? Then the Star Destroyer officers see the escape pod but “detect no life forms” so they let it go! Only Vader, who finds out later, is smart enough to realize it could contain the plans. In fact, except for the one time Kenobi mind-tricks the troopers, there are multiple times other they inexplicably ignore the droids.

    What is it with this guy? In ROTJ, Obi-Wan tells Luke that when he met Anakin, he was already a great pilot. But when Obi-Wan met Anakin, he was a nine year-old shit who thought angels were real. Yeah, he could race a pod OK and he accidentally blows up a Trade Federation ship at the end, but neither of those really qualify him as a "great pilot."

    In Empire, Obi-Wan tells Luke that Yoda is the Jedi who trained him. But in Phantom Menace, it's clear that Obi-Wan was actually trained by Qui-Gon Jinn. Not that you can blame him--Liam Neison also trained Batman and saved the Jews. I'd want him to train me too.

      At the end of episode III at the downfall of the Jedi, Yoda tells Kenobi that he has training for him. So at some point between III and IV, Yoda was his master. All your supposed inconsistencies suck. I have an answer for every one of them. I'm done with this.

        If you spent 10-15 years training under Teacher A, and then learned 1 single lesson from Teacher B, would you refer to Teacher B as "the master who trained you?" I understand that Obi-Wan's statement is accurate to some degree, but the wording of it doesn't make any sense. "I learned a lot from Yoda," or "Yoda was one of my greatest teachers" would be fine, but not "Yoda is the Jedi master who trained me."

      I fact Joda teaches young padawans in EII. It is possible that young Obi was trained as a young boy. Isn't it?

    In Empire, Yoda tells Luke that a Jedi only uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. What he fails to mention, however, is that just 20 years earlier he hurled giant fucking metal pods at Emperor Palpatine. Knowledge and defense my ass.

      "hurled giant fucking metal pods" - no he grabbed one pod, spun it and glided it back. Palatine say it coming. Yoda is defending the other jedis by attempting to rid of this monster. This common, is exaggerated.
