Princess Leia from A New Hope looking serious in front of an image of hyperspace

Summary Star Wars has had its fair share of backlash and controversy regarding plot holes, but these 10 highly criticized plot holes aren't really that significant. Star Wars movies and TV shows are quite unique, not only because the franchise is well-known for its retcons but also because the various Star Wars projects move around in time so frequently.

Notably, Ki-Adi-Mundi's inclusion in The Acolyte did not break canon, as his canonical age had never been established. Although non-canonical content, including a CD-ROM and a trading card, both more than 10 years old, had referenced Ki-Adi-Mundi's age, that had yet to be established in the canon.

8 Yoda And Obi-Wan Both See Padmé And Anakin Openly Embracing Anakin And Padmé's Public Display Of Affection Went Unaddressed Close Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader Of course, this happened because Ahsoka was a retcon; she was introduced as Anakin's Padawan after the prequels had concluded. Nevertheless, Star Wars worked to explain away this plot hole, and in doing so, the franchise has made it a non-issue. While many believed, based on Order 66 and what was inevitably going to happen, that Ahsoka would die in The Clone Wars, Star Wars instead gave her a fascinating arc wherein she left the Order.

Created By George Lucas Cast Kenny Baker , Jimmy Vee First Appearance Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Alliance Naboo, Republic, Jedi, Rebel Alliance, Resistance In addition to Obi-Wan's age, his reaction to seeing R2-D2 again in A New Hope is extremely odd in light of the prequels. As many have pointed out, Obi-Wan never precisely says he doesn't know R2-D2 or has never seen him before, leaving the amount of wiggle room Star Wars needed to significantly add to their history.

This is surely a plot hole, at least to the extent that, realistically, this had to be a discussion at some point. In fact, both Luke and Leia and Luke and Han must have needed to process this information given their earlier love triangle. Nevertheless, this too is simple enough to explain away. Presumably, these conversations happened off-screen, which is probably for the best; a revelation like that is better explored in private.
