Looking At CinemaSins' And My Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode VI

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. (even if it was a wide area that was pushed) 40 - A better way 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. 65 - One of the beings who was wearing purple bowed to the emperor. 71 - Tall trees and minerals in the area could interfere with a radio signal. Those troopers could've known that their radios didn't work in that area. 79 - Luke could've sensed Leia's hair/DNA/partial presence on that helmet. 80 - A better way could’ve been for R2 to mention that the trees and minerals in the area interfered wi...

Looking At CinemaSins' And My Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode V

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_0yLbcV3U8 6 - The probe droid's pod could've detected Luke’s radio signal from orbit if he checked in on his patrol. 12 - 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. 17 - Maybe as the Wampa was holding Luke up, the saber hilt swung, and the Wampa swatted it off with its claws. The Wampa might've viewed the movement as a potential threat. The lightsaber probably would've been sticking deeper into the snow though. 22 - When a person is close to hypothermia they can dream of being warm. If Luke was imagining being warm in a dream, that could've warmed him up via the Force. 27 - Luke mentioned that he had reached the end of the pa...

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 would've been for Leia to jettison multiple escape pods so that the gun would miss the escape pod with the droids in it. 19 - It would've been better if tracks from R2 were found instead. 24 - R2 sabotaged it. That was revealed in the Star Wars radio drama. 30 - It hadn’t called her a princess yet. Her capture was soon after the end of the Rogue One movie, so how would Luke know she was part of the civil war? 40 - Luke's forehead was probably hit with the center of that weapon. The movie could've shown the knockout. 46 - It wasn't known if Luke would turn evil. Luke could tell Vader about Leia if Luke became an apprentice of Vader. Luke could (i.e. after killing Vader) try to turn Leia via torture. 48 - Perhaps the Sand Crawler tracks (which had C-3PO tracks connected to it) disappeared via sandstorm and the Stormtroopers happened across that SandCrawler later. The movie didn't show a sandstorm wiping...

Looking At CinemaSins' Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode III

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0TGcvtzjUs 15 - It called him a droid in the opening text but he was a cyborg. 66 - Perhaps the office was periodically scanned by security personnel for bugs. There was a war going on. Anakin also met Palpatine outside his office sometimes. 143 - Perhaps Palpatine wanted Obi-Wan to go confront Anakin. Palpatine could've been guided by the Force to do that. Since Obi-Wan went after Anakin, Palpatine was able to face Yoda alone. 179 - Anakin told her that she would die in childbirth. She might've been worried about that possibility. 190 - The funeral scene at least partially existed to show that she was made to look like she was still pregnant, so the emperor wouldn’t know about the kids.

Looking At CinemaSins' Criticism Of Star Wars: Episode II

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln7HQCbonho 32 - The probe could probably turn itself off to make Obi-Wan fall. 54 - Anakin might've seen her other face. He might know what a shapeshifting species' face looks like. 55 - Jedi could know that shape shifting race was immune to the Force if they were. Or they could've known/sensed that she was a strong willed individual. 83 - Only Jedi have access to the Jedi archives. Dooku did that before he left the Jedi order. 150 - A female Tusken may've made a warrior cry. 186 - Animals can have strong urges. If they were starved they would be very hungry. Jedi can't use mind control on strong willed individuals. 204 - Machines, Geonosians and Wookie slaves helped construct the Death Star. 216 - Perhaps Palpatine had a plan to leak information about the droids on Geonosis. i.e. He could say something like 'someone from the Techno Union contacted the Republic about the plans of the Separatists'. The Techno Union is mention...
