Looking At Some Of CinemaSins' And My Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi

I won't mention obvious stuff. Here is CS' video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deMGCdOZS-Y 32 -  Luke could've used the Force to push the button. 39 - Jabba could've wanted a plank, so that prisoners would be scared as they walked it. 40 - A better way for the movie would've been for Luke to use the Force to untie a rope that bound his hands. This could have occurred when Luke was on the end of that plank (that 1 bandit wouldn't need to be close behind Luke when Luke was bound). Luke could then use the Force to crush the windpipes of the bandits (he was able to do that quickly to 2 Gammoreans) Lando could help. Seeing bandits on that other skiff with melee weapons can cause doubt. 45 - Boba should've stayed on the Sail Barge (he would’ve known how much of a threat that Jedi were) and fired from there. Boba could've launched a rocket at the skiff before the last bandit there got taken out. That would be cool. Luke could Force Push the rocket away. If B

A probe droid could be shown above the atmosphere, detecting a radio signal. 9 - Perhaps the Wampa wanted Luke to not freeze/harden, so it could eat him later. The Wampa still had other meat to eat. 12 - You don’t need to read a book for that. The opening text said the Rebels were on the run across the galaxy. So, as Han mentioned 'we', the Rebels made a stop on Ord Mantell. 13 - A bounty hunter could pose as a Rebel. The Rebels were recruiting, so Rebels could show up on Hoth. Han could contact Jabba from Tatooine’s orbit and flee if attacked/he couldn’t take out the attacking craft. 16 - Luke was distracted before the Wampa attacked him, so that could explain why he didn't sense the Wampa's hostile intent. 17

Looking At CinemaSins' And My Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZDNawCEamA 10 - A better way for the movie would've been for the Star Destroyer guns within firing range of the escape pod, to miss the escape pod. Multiple empty pods could be jettisoned by Leia, so that the imperials couldn’t shoot all the pods. The beast that CS mentioned in sin 16-17, was too slow to catch things. If that Lambda shuttle that we saw came from that Star Destroyer, it likely wouldn't have had that beast on it. So George Lucas probably imagined that the shuttle came from a Tatooine settlement. It would've been more realistic to send a Lambda from that Star Destroyer (I read Vader had a shuttle for himself) if there wasn't an imperial presence close by. That would've ensured that a Lambda arrived quickly behind the slow droids. 19 - It would've been better if tracks from the droids led the trooper to presume that droids had left the pod (as no life forms were detected on the pod). 24 - That red astromech broke dow

It shows that shortly after that part of the movie. 47 - Yoda mentioned that the Dark side was 'clouding everything' in the previous movie. That could hide that pregnancy from a distance. The babies in Padme's womb would have a stronger Force signature than other beings due to their strong midichlorian count. Since there were 2 of them, that should also make them easier to detect. Mace Windu was shown walking, not far from where Padme was. He maybe should’ve been able to detect that those babies shared something in common with Anakin. 58 - Jedi can shield their mind, so that it can't be read. Anakin's face was serious, which may have hinted that he was focused on shielding his mind. Yoda might've been respecting Anakin's privacy at that moment/not trying to read Anakin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln7HQCbonho 30 - It would've been better for Obi-Wan to use Force Push on the glass, or to Force pull an object to throw at the window. 32 - The probe could maybe turn itself off to make Obi-Wan fall/die. 35 - The speeder was faster than the probe. The probe was carrying extra weight. 44 - Anakin could've been trying to take off her hand/arm as it held a blaster. 54 - Anakin might've seen her other face. He might know what a shapeshifting species' face looks like. 55 - Jedi could know that that shape shifting race was immune to the Force (if they are). The audience saw that with Watto's species. Or they could've known/sensed that she was a strong willed individual. 59 - He could shield his thoughts at that point. 63 - Earlier in the movie, Yoda said that the Dark Side ‘clouds everything'. So it seems that the dark side had dominance in 1 regard. 66 - Now that they no longer wanted to use her as bait for a trap, perhaps there w

Looking At CinemaSins' Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxAXZGOzEg8 13 - Neimodians can kill each other when it comes to money or business partners. A lower ranking Neimodian could pay a higher 1 on that ship to kill the lower ranking one's superior, so that he could take its place. 140 - It would sound weird to call the people of Naboo, 'Nabooians'. The Gungans are a separate cultural group. The Gungans might not call that planet Naboo. They might call the people on that planet 'The Naboo'. This reminds me how North Americans used to call the Netherlands, 'Holland', even though Holland was just 1 part of the Netherlands. 189 - Qui-Gon could've been guided to let Anakin hang around them. A better way for the story would've been for Anakin to offer them a meal. Anakin could've wanted to hear stories of other planets. Qui-Gon could've been guided to go with him. That would've been more believable than a sandstorm occurring then. 196 - In the race, we saw that Anak
