TV-Commentary - Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Episode III
Star Destroyer sized plot holes in Revenge of the Sith
Revenge of the Sith was filled with all sorts of weird plot holes.

1) When Obi Wan and Anakin were falling the elevator shaft, they used their batman cables to swing onto a landing... but so did Palpatine, who was falling below them, and he didn't have any cables at all.

2) Obi Wan and Yoda could fall incredible distances and hit the ground hard and not break any bones--how is this possible?

3) Padme gave birth a few days after finding out she was pregnant.

4) Padme's body looked pregnant at her funeral--did they stuff her with turkey stuffing, or dead fetuses?

5) How could Obi Wan parry four lightsabers? Isn't it more realistic to expect that General Grevious would slice him quickly, and less realistic to expect Obi Wan to jump into a group of enemies without any worries?

6) Anakin was on fire--and then the fire went out. How?

7) Why didn't Anakin get skin for his robot arm like Luke did? Do you think he was kinky and liked it that way?

8) Why was the Emperor and Anakin watching giant sperm swimming in watery eggs?

9) Why did the Emperor have a bald girlfriend? Couldn't he do better?

10) How could Bail Organa expect to hide Leia in his family when she didn't look even remotely Puerto Rican?

answers to some of your questions: 1. Padme KNEW she had been pregnant, it was Anakin who had just returned from the nine-month (convienient) sieges that was learning of the children to come. 2. Jedi and Sith can fall from great distances and be alright simply because of the force (what a nice thing to have lying around). 3. Why did Padme look pregnant at the funeral? Because women retain a little weight after birth. That's why people who just gave birth try to loose some of the added pounds. But I agree with you in saying she was a little too "plump" even after just giving birth. Just thought I'd clear some stuff up

Obi-Wan DID address R2 as ?"my little friend". But Luke was knocked out from the attack I think so he didnt hear it. Or at least if he did he might have thought Ben was simply being friendly. When Luke asked if these were his droids all Ben said was "I cant recall ever owning any droid" which IS the truth since he didnt. But he never actually said he didnt KNOW the droids. Luke simply assumed he didnt from his answer. Ben obviously wanted to play it cool and tell Luke the REAL truth when Luke was better prepared to handle it. I imagine the whole "Your father wanted you to have this (Lightsaber) when you were old enough" was true from a certain point of view. Ben imagined that had things not gone badly Anakin probably WOULD have wanted his son to have it.

Padme died from Darth Vader's neck crush. He tried to stop too late. Listen to the movie on tape. It really puts in a lot that is missing from the movie. Plus, it says that Obi Wan used the most perfect fighting style and coulda beat any Sith or Jedi!

Please episodes are soo full of holes . the driods not darth vader , obi wan recognized the droids in the first three movies. Face the whole Jedi plot was a back drop in the original movies and only grew to be the focus as they went on > the ture hero of the series is Han solo .. soo all you fan boys and girls goo back and watch the first three movies and enjoy them

As a reply to damions post about anakin not dying because of the fire and missing limbs, THE FORCE. It can sustain life even when an inch from death


       Bane Draven posts on 2/8/2006 3:51:10 PM

I'm answering this question. "WHY DID PADAME DIE IN CHILD BIRTH!? It rarley happens now in developed countries." She didn't die from childbirth, if you remember, she lost the "will" to live. Her heartbreak was so massive that she died from it.


       The respected commentator Anonymous posts on 1/30/2006 7:59:17 PM

She was made to look pregnant so that the empire would not catch on to the fact that the twins were born. Also she knew she was pregnant for a long time befor she told Anikin. Your plot holes are full of holes.


       The commentator Squid posts on 1/15/2006 3:26:17 AM

The movie rocked but i only have one question. With all that technology and all WHY DID PADAME DIE IN CHILD BIRTH!? It rarley happens now in developed countries.


       aliciaskywalker posts on 12/30/2005 12:47:05 PM

The bald woman was an adviser and in no way personally connected to Palpatine. If you actually WATCHED Eps I this woman was advising Chancellor Velorum before Palpatine became Chancellor. I have proved my point, I think. The eggs thingy was an opera, so I guess it had some connection to the story of whatever opera it was. And finally, the last question, no-one was actually LOOKING for Leia. Anakin thought that his kids died with Padme.

It's the force you idiot, these guys are trained Jedis. You'd think Obi and Yoda could fall for miles without getting hurt.


       Link256 from GameSpot posts on 8/18/2005 11:39:17 PM

2) Obi Wan and Yoda could fall incredible distances and hit the ground hard and not break any bones--how is this possible? Simply put, they are Jedi Masters and they are stronger than the average person. 3) Padme gave birth a few days after finding out she was pregnant. She was already pregnant, Anakin in the one who just found out about. Why didn't Anakin notice, he was gone for months fighting in the clone wars, it had been few months since he seen her. 4) Padme's body looked pregnant at her funeral--did they stuff her with turkey stuffing, or dead fetuses? Listen, even after a baby, the woman does not lose all of her fat right away, so that is why she still looked pregant. 5) How could Obi Wan parry four lightsabers? Isn't it more realistic to expect that General Grevious would slice him quickly, and less realistic to expect Obi Wan to jump into a group of enemies without any worries? Simply put, Obi-Wan is awesome Jedi and one of the best. Also, Obi-Wan had edge of Grevious, he had the froce, while Grevious did not. 7) Why didn't Anakin get skin for his robot arm like Luke did? Do you think he was kinky and liked it that way? It was 24 or 25 years between episode II and V, so technology had advanced in 24 or 25 years. 8) Why was the Emperor and Anakin watching giant sperm swimming in watery eggs? It is probably a type of sport or a form of entertainment. I imagine George Lucas was tyring to show star wars fans what characters in the star wars universe do for fun. 9) Why did the Emperor have a bald girlfriend? Couldn't he do better? Who said that was his girlfriend? Guess what, I am prett sure that was not Darth Sidious' girlfriend. 10) How could Bail Organa expect to hide Leia in his family when she didn't look even remotely Puerto Rican? He probably told people she was adopted.

the emporer was holding on to obi-wans leg


       The commentator Jesus Bonilla posts on 7/22/2005 11:45:16 AM

Well you present some truths. Obi Wan did Lie on occasion to Luke. Or rather, presented him to the truth in his point of view. He even states to Luke "There are many points of views to the Truth". I imagin Anakin would want Luke to have his Lightsaber. No other Jedi had a son. So Obi Wan wasnt thinking about the Jedi Anakin. He was t6hinking about the Father Anakin. Any father would love to leave a momento to their son. and Obi wan knew this. Leia DID have a strong Force connection. She stated that she's always felt Luke was her sister. By using the Force. And when Luke was stuck in Bespins Cloud city, she sensed he was in danger by the strong Force connection twins share. The same connection passed on to her twin children Jacen and Jaina Solo.


       The commentator sam posts on 7/21/2005 7:56:05 PM

just found this board... leia never knew she was adopted... the mother she remembered being sad was bail oragana's wife, the woman leia always assumed to be her mother. and obi wan was obviousley aware of the path that luke would have to take to ultimately defeat vader and the emporer, hence his lying about the droids and about his father's lightsaber. obi wan blatantly lies to luke, and why? he's hillarious, that's why. he's stroking his beard the entire time... obviousley obi wan knows that anakin didn't want his son to have his lightsaber; obi wan picked the lightsaber up after he defeated anakin. you just have to accept the fact that obi wan kenobi lied to luke skywalker for the greater good: it wasn't time for luke to know the devestating truth that darth vader was in fact his father. p.s. leia can't use the force because she wasn't trained as a jedi. did you see luke using the force before obi wan taught him how?


       The commentator Jesus Bonilla posts on 7/7/2005 11:30:54 AM

Yeah i noticed it too. I really cant give an explanation to that except GL messed up (Not the first time) you could just say that they streched the skin over a prosthetic connection to the elbow....but thats reaching


       iodafunny posts on 7/6/2005 4:47:17 PM

In the end of the episode II Anakin had his arm amputated in a very different position of which we see in the beginning of the Revenge of the Sith, when he is already with a complete prothesis. In this case the place of amputation is lower and shows a part of arm that should not be there, what is really difficult to understand. I would like to know your opinion on this.


       The commentator Jesus Bonilla posts on 6/17/2005 10:55:10 AM

Well I could answer some of those questions. Anakin believed himself "The Chosen One" yet he always hated himself for not saving his mother on time. Partly because the Coucil forbode him to go to Tatooine. In fact, on his mothers grave he swore to her that next time he will be strong enough. Lo and behold the next time was Padme. So he did everything possible to listen to his visions and stop them before what happened to his mother happened to his love. Sidiouse could forsee the future. He forsaw that Luke would seek Vader, that Vader will bring Luke to him, and that Luke would defeat Vader thus becoming Sidiouses new apprentice. All these did happen. Luke did seek out Vader, Vader did bring Luke to Palpatine and Luke defeated Vader thus completing the chain of threachery of the Sith. but Luke rejected that claiming he was a Jedi. There are only 2 Siths at a time. Just because your evil and are Force strong dosnt make you a Sith. Being a Sith is a religious belief. It is to embrace the religion of the Sith. Just as is the Jedi Order. One can be "Force Adept" or "Force Strong" and not be affiliated to the Sith or the Jedi. However the "Dark Side" has three different categories. "Force Adepts" are Force weiders that use the Dark Side (ex: Mara Jade). "Dark Jedi" are Fallen Jedi's that dont agree with the order but arnt ready to accept the Sith or are not worthy (ex: The Knight of the old Republic video game have hundreds of Dark Jedi's) and last are the Sith. Who are powered by pure evil and hatred and Black Magic. The reason why there are two is simple. During the Old Republic the sith were winning against the Jedi. However they began to fight among themselves for dominion. This lead the Jedi to victory. The Sith had to battle the Jedi and themselves leading to their extinction. The last remaining Sith, Darth Bane, took it among himself to train only one Apprentice. Thus begun the law of two. The Jedi, seeing many of their young jedi falling to the Dark side also began the law of two to keep the Padawans in check. Hope that answers your questions. Oh and I agree with Grievouse being defeated to easily by Obiwan. Although he has Mace Windu's power and Yodas vision. Not to mention Qui Gons heart. He has to be the best Jedi in the galaxy. Not to mention that Grievous, through the whole movie, was severly and fataly injured by Mace Windu's Force Crush. If you missed it, see the final episode of Cartoon Networks Star Wars-Clone Wars micro series. It is Canon. In the final scenes Mace Force Punched Grievouses insides just before he took off with Palpatine. Which explains why he is crouched and coughing during the whole movie


       darth revan posts on 6/16/2005 9:39:51 PM

I see. I never thought of it that way round. i presumed anakin knew what the vision was. The trouble is though that darth sidious also thought the same and he does seem to be able to foresee the future (apart from at the ending of ep6). I suppose sidious could have knew anakin had read it wrong but then it starts to get all about could be and maybe's I know Anakin was never the same after his mothers death but that wasnt the fault of any medical blunder. When my grandparents died I didnt go out and kill jedi masters younglings and turn on my best friend just because my wife had to have an operation. Can we really believe that anakin would have done all this because of what happened to his mother. surely what would have happened is that anakin would have been Sh*t scared for nine months and made sure padme was in the best medical hands available. I do also think wonder why there can be only 2 sith at a time. If you think about it there are 6billion pepole on earth so in the whole star wars galaxy there could be over 100 billion people spread over a great many planets. whats to stop many pepole learning the dark arts. Also what use would 2 sith be against an army. I know they were only video games but on knights of the old republic games on xbox you fight against many sith and it was said there were once hundreds (if not thousands) of jedi. how could the sith ever survived ?
