Plot holes in Episode III

Wrongo!! She was spaekin of Bail Organa's wife, the lady u saw him land and give him the child. That is the lady she is refering to. she does not know who luke is refering to because she does not know yet they are related and that he is her brother. So, he knows of his Aunt, but Luke is questioning her parents who brought her up in hopes that she was brought up by their real mother Padme. But she does not know anything more than Mrs Bail organa. her name is Princess Lea organa! she only knows the sadness of THAT women, a sadness that I enterpret to be Mrs Bail Organas knowledge of Padme's death and the rise of the Empire. That is her mothers sadness. luke asked in hopes she would describe their real mother, and in hope that perhaps Lea would say she was stil alive! Hopes Padme would be alive!

Could someone tell me where Anakin got the scar from. I suppose he got it in the clone wars but does anyone know who gave it to him?

From the official site:

It was common knowledge throughout the court that Leia was adopted into the Royal Family. What wasn't common knowledge was that Leia was born to Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi pupil who succumbed to the dark side and became Darth Vader. She was one of a set of twins, born in secrecy and protected from Vader and the Emperor. The Jedi hero and general, Obi-Wan Kenobi, saw to it that Leia was secretly transported to the planet Alderaan, where she was to be raised by Kenobi's friend Bail Organa. The boy, Luke, was taken to the distant world of Tatooine. Leia has few memories of her true mother, Padmé Amidala. All that Leia can recall is that she was beautiful, but sad.

This is a bit off topic, but, after watching ROTS, I really think Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) could have been used more of a Han Solo type character -- in his few scenes, he really did bring forth a humanity that the other main characters lacked. Using that character could have also tied up the loose ends with Leia better -- instead, Bail is nothing more than a throwaway character. Too bad for Jimmy Smits -- he could have been much more!

I'd still like to know why the Wookie doesn't wear pants...

nahh lucas made a mistake, she couldn't have know her "real mother" becasue she is f-ing dead. When we all saw ROTJ none of us though that it meant her adopted mother, everyone knew they meant Darth Vadars Wife. Lucas made many continuity mistakes in the PT.

indeed... maybe if Padme held Leia for longer than Luke it may have been a tad bit believable... but as it is... PLOT HOLE! There's no way you can explain your way around it George. You screwed up.

Same with the droid arguments. Only c3po had that gay voice, theres now way owen didn't know no matter how drunk he was!

Owen had alzhiemers... the only explanation. And so did R2.

...and Chewie. And Palpatine, and Vader. Obi Wan had it worst. Yoda was just senile.

The ones I know of, maybe someone can clear them up...

1. In EP IV, Obi wan says to Luke "Here is your fathers lightsaber, your father wanted you to have it when your old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it......" Anakin never said anything like that to Obiwan, But I remember Obiwan taking Anakins lightsaber after the limb removal in EP III.

2. The Leia part, if she remembered her mother in EP VI, I think that point is ok, because she said images, feelings, that could have been aquired by what her adopted mother or father (Organa) told her how she was. Children would ask questions about their real parents. Funny how she didn;t know her father though, but we all know that nobody want to tell a child that story without lying to them.

3. I know this one is old, but I can never understand the whole Leia kissing Luke thing. I can never find reason for that mistake. Only that its ok to kiss your brother or sister, but it was so direct in EP V.

thats all I can think of right now

WTF? Leia didn't even know Luke was her brother... she kissed him to make a point to Han.

Where's the mistake?

Luke asked specifically "Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?". You can't form memories from stories about a person. "Just a little bit, she died when I was very young". No shit Leia... 5 seconds old even. 🙄

George ****ed up.

On viewing ANH again...Obi/Ben Kenobi says to R2, "Hello there..." and then, "..he'll be alright...". After seeing ROTS...you could read into the ANH dialogue that Obi remembers R2, but he doesn't say anything about it to Luke. R2 obviously remembers where Obi lived...he wasn't far from his hut (and there must be an EU story somewhere where R2 visited Obi's hut before...unless Obi and Bail Organa secretly kept in touch). He would not say anything to 3-P0 because he would know that his droid memory was wiped.

As far as the lightsaber gift...maybe there was a time (again, any EU stories out there) when Anakin said to Obi "...if I ever fall in battle...I want my children/child/son/daughter to have this..."

Damn George and his dangling plot lines! That's what happens when you make up the story as you're filming the movie. He should have finalized his story and script prior to filming...like most directors. That is why Grievous went from badass Jedi killer (in the Clone Wars cartoons) to cowardly punk ass machine.

I have a question in mind.....now we know after the fight anakin lost all his limbs....and then he started burning ....how come when sidious stood beside him when reached anakin for help nothing burnt on him though he was wearing robe....i mean is he too powerful for fire to burn or is it a mistake,because at the same place anakin started burning because of the volcanic soil i think,

I think he did indeed recognize the droids.

I was wondering that too...PLOT HOLE! 😄

Its not a plot hole, Anakin was almost touching the lava when he started to burn. Palpatine wasn;t that close.

Why dont you consider the fact that lava is extremely hot, and Anakin and Obiwan were fighting over the lava on those flying things. they seemed to have no effect

I don't think Anakin would tell Obi Wan to give child his lightsaber, that would sound suspicious, and Jedi probably shouldn't have children. "Obi Wan, if I ever die in battle will you give my lightsaber to my child.", "Sure, if your going to quit being a Jedi."

The only reason Obi and Ani didn't burn while on the floating platforms were because of the force field (okay stop laughing now).

That is the only explanation. In reality...lava is so hot ( at least a thousand degrees Fahrenheit...Celsius..do the math), scientists have to wear full body silver asbestos suits just to stand within a few feet of it. The few effects besides their sweating was their clothes were singed and burnt in spots. When Vader was de-limbed, he was sliding closer to the lava river (where it was hottest). The heat ignited the clothing on what was left of his legs and traveled up his body burning( he really should not have been burnt on his chest...that was touching the ground, unless he started rolling over). By the time Palps got there, Vader clawed his way a little further up the lava flow, so he was not as close to the heat for as long a period of time.

I am such a scholar! flirt

remember this is a star wars universe, Lava may not be as hot as it is on earth. or maybe they force removed the heat during the entire battle
