    Well Snoke was kind of like an ATT&T tower. He was rich, so maybe he was paying for it on his dime. But then Luke destroyed the line and then Kylo destroyed Snoke, so no more Forceskyping. They will have to find another tower.

    Untrue. he catches fish like learned from Aya on Lew'el, (Legends of Luke Skywalker, confirmed in Visual Dictionary) technique based on guidance of extremly long spear by the Force. another plot hole.
    Just to remind you the plot holes are posted.

    M;ost massive is chase of the ships which is absolutely unrealistic.

    Ships dont use fuel in space, and FO chased them for no logical reason when they could have made ambush any way alongside the path, just jummp over the resistance fleet and make blockade.
    And let me remind you, it is the backbone of the film, that chase, almost entire film.

    Looks like the Rey Skywalker thread. Filled with objectivity.

    I just absolutely don't understand that people can just defend this parody of story telling.

    Plot holes and inconsistencies are the same things for me.

    Whatever.

    Bad strategy isn't a plot hole.

    Luke had contacted Leia through the Force prior.

    Ok Ok, I agree with most of what you said but "ships don't use fuel in space" is completely ridiculous, they do in both star wars and real life.

    I have an idea!

    Step 1: Go to the I hate this movie thread so you won't see anyone talking about how they like it.
    Step 2: Create a thread called "Bandini's Definition of a Plot Hole."

    In your "plot hole" thread you can call anything you want a plot hole. Make up the rules as you go along. :)

    Don't know if this has been mentioned but Finn says the Raddus as 18 hours of fuel left but we clearly see Rey go through multiple days on Ach-To.

    I have an amazing revelation to tell you! You can't miss this!

    Some people liked the film, and were affected emotionally by it in a good way. Concepts like joy and excitement!

    So far no real plot hole has been posted in this thread. Keep trying though, maybe you'll get lucky!

    [/QUOTE]

    How do the engine work then? And what keeps up the shields?

    And are we really going to accuse TLJ of having unrealistic scenes - have you seen every other Star Wars movie?
    The FO didn't believe the Rebels could get away. They had them on the end of a piece of string. It was only a matter of time.
    I'm sure there is also a reason why you can't just jump a few thousands meters through hyperspace.

    Pedantic, patronising and inflammatory sh** posting.

    Just going from the description in your first post, people have given plenty of legitimate examples of plot holes, just because you don't consider them to be holes does not mean that they don't represent an inconsistency to someone else. If it requires a 3rd party in an internet forum to explain that the bombs you see dropping in the opening segment of the film are fitted with miniature thrusters, magnets and are being pushed on rails to provide initial motion then that is a plot hole and a failure on the part of the film. Just because you deny it on an internet forum does not magically excuse the film for causing a suspension of disbelief.

    Now, if you disagree with someone, that's fine. Express it. But don't completely ignore the legitimate comments and pretend the holes don't exist and that their comments are worthless. They're not. They have every right to express their opinion as you. No one is calling you wrong for enjoying a movie, stop calling people wrong for considering something an inconsistency within the context of the film.

    We really don't know how long it was from when Rey left the base to when Finn woke up. It could have been a few days.

    Don't play too much with my lack of vocabulary buddy, you know you"re playing with words and I can't play the same game. It is as unfair as your answers here.

    Don't get rude just because you speak your maternal language better than me.

    Play alone. It changes nothing.

    So did Tom Hanks in Castaway. I don't think he was a Jedi.

    Where?

    Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

    This. That's always been a weird thing.

    The E.U. did various versions of it.

    Was it the Missile Boat from the TIE Fighter computer game that had some 'semi-hyperspace' capability?

    I'm looking high and low, far and wide. But I can't find a real plot hole. Only people posting vague reasons why they hated something in the movie. Not the same thing I'm afraid.
