What plot holes could be adequately explained away with a single shot or line of dialogue? - eviltoast

“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

“Senator Amidala is in a coma. Even if she recovers, she will never be the same and may not live long.” But no… George had to have his god-damned funeral scene, even if it demanded Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics to save Carrie Fisher’s most emotionally resonant moment from ROTJ, as well as one of the more intriguing OT lore dumps.

Bonus points if a scene was scripted or filmed and got cut.

        It was because he’s connected to the machine network and he has some limited interfacing with them. He could trigger their destroy sequence or whatever.

        At least that’s what I remember, haven’t seen it for a while.
