11 Glaring Plot Holes in Star Wars

10. No one recognizes C-3PO or R2-D2

These two droids have been everywhere in the galaxy with some of the most famous Jedi. Obi-Wan doesn’t acknowledge the droids when they appear on Tatooine.  Owen Lars doesn’t recognize C-3PO, a droid he owned for years before the clone wars, when he buys him in A New Hope.Perhaps this makes more sense as C-3PO has his memory wiped off, at the end of Revenge of the Sith, but R2 doesn’t. R2 knows all about Anakin and Padme and the twins and never shares this information throughout the movies despite that he can clearly communicate with other humans.

9. The Emperor’s plot in Attack of The Clones

We know now that the Emperor, then Chancellor, Palpatine wanted to create a massive war that would both severely weaken the Jedi and give him control of the Republic. He has a clone army ready to be used, but nobody knows about it.

Fortunately: one of Padme’s assassins works for Jango Fett, who happens to be the base for the clones on Kamino and just happens to use a Kamino dart, which is unidentifiable. Fortunately, Obi-Wan just happens to know this diner chef who can identify not only who made the dart, but also the planet’s location which is great because it was erased from the Jedi archives. Then Obi-Wan discovers the Separatist Army by following Jango Fett, who doesn’t realize there’s a homing beacon on his ship until AFTER he reaches the plant of manufacturing. The only reason the Jedi become involved is because of Obi Wan’s message, which could only be transmitted to the council because Anakin HAPPENED to be within range while protecting Padme which only occurred because the initial assassination attempt was thwarted and people thought her HOMEWORLD WAS A GREAT PLACE TO HIDE FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL HER. And she put the easily manipulated Jar Jar Binks in charge of her position, where he’s easily manipulated into giving the Emperor emergency power.
