00:00Hello there, I'm your Walmart Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I cannot do an Obi-Wan Kenobi impression,
00:07just doesn't make sense. A bit like some of the things that I asked you, the WhatCulture
00:12Star Wars community, that just don't make sense to you. I'm CJ, this is WhatCulture
00:17Star Wars, and here are 8 things that don't make sense in the Star Wars movies.
00:23Number 1, Stormtrooper armour. I mean, what is the point of the Stormtroopers actually
00:28wearing armour? One shot and they're either down or they're dead, it doesn't seem to actually
00:34help them to function. Now, I know it says outside the movies that it absorbs it and it
00:41helps them stay alive, but do you really think that the Empire care if the Stormtroopers are
00:46dead or alive? And even their aim is absolutely shocking, and it doesn't help them whatsoever.
00:52The helmets are blocking their view. Even so, they can't even escape from evil doors.
01:00Now, wouldn't it be easier if the Stormtroopers just didn't wear armour? Or even just not the
01:05helmets? So that way their aim could improve, they could move faster, and maybe they would
01:10actually stop the rebels in some sort of way. Just saying.
01:15Number 2, who's actually paying for the Empire's budget?
01:18One of the saddest parts of growing up and getting a job is realising that most of the
01:22money you make, you will never see again, because your government take it all in taxes.
01:27And I mean, I get it, we need firemen, hospitals, teachers, and loads more. But who is actually
01:34paying the Empire? And more importantly, how much are they paying so that they can build
01:39not one, but two Death Stars? Now, the Empire was a recognised leader of the galaxy, so could
01:47get the taxes in that way. But what about the First Order? Who was funding the First Order
01:54so much so that they could convert an entire planet? Like, is money unlimited when you're
02:01a bad guy in the Star Wars universe? And maybe I've been on the wrong side all of this time.
02:06Maybe being the bad guy actually does pay off.
02:10Number 3, Luke throwing away his lightsaber.
02:13The Force Awakens is all about Rey's journey to find Luke Skywalker and return his lightsaber.
02:19I mean, the whole plot of the movie was about finding them, and they made a huge deal about
02:25his lightsaber and the connection with the Force, and even triggering visions within Rey.
02:31And then we get to The Last Jedi, where we finally see the importance of returning the
02:36lightsaber when, oh, wait, no. Luke just throws it off a cliff, and that's it. Within the first
02:45few minutes of The Last Jedi, the plot of The Force Awakens is just thrown away. Just gone.
02:52Like, what was the point of The Force Awakens if that was the case? I mean, was it symbolism
02:57of just Rian Johnson going, fuck you, to The Force Awakens? I'm going to do my own thing?
03:03I guess we'll never know.
03:05Number 4, The Sith Rule of Two.
03:08The Sith are evil and never seem to follow any sort of rules in order to get power.
03:13Well, except for one rule, it seems. There can only be a master and an apprentice,
03:18which to me seems pretty silly if you want to take over the galaxy.
03:22I mean, it worked for Palpatine anyway, but wouldn't it make more sense to have an army
03:27of Sith, and then literally no one would even mess with you? I mean, it seems pretty easy
03:33to turn people to the dark side. It's even weirder when you think about Exegol.
03:38On Rise of Skywalker, we see that Palpatine has thousands of people hanging out around him.
03:43The Sith Eternal, who are a group of cultists who long for the Sith rule in the galaxy and
03:47want to see the return of Palpatine just appear? And more importantly, who is feeding these guys?
03:53How are they getting all of the stock they needed to build these super ships? And again,
03:58where is this budget coming from? Who's paying for all of this? Like, are these guys paying
04:04it themselves? But then how are they getting this money? And they're doing their day-to-day jobs
04:07as well. And how are they getting to and from this place without anyone even noticing?
04:13Listen, I have so many questions about the ending of that movie.
04:18Number five, everyone being angry at Anakin. Okay, hear me out on this one, okay?
04:24Anakin was told from a young age he was the chosen one and would bring balance to the Force.
04:30The key word being here, balance. So at the time of Revenge of the Sith, there is only one
04:37Sith Lord technically, Darth Sidious, against hundreds of the Jedi and their apprentices.
04:44That, to me, is not very balanced. How can everyone be angry at Anakin when he actually did
04:51what was prophesied and what the Jedi were expecting them to do and bring balance to the Force and in
04:59the end, having two Jedi, Obi-Wan and Yoda, and two Sith, Anakin and Palpatine. I mean,
05:06that sounds pretty balanced to me. And yes, there were Jedi who escaped and there are Sith that
05:12weren't involved as well. But in the movies, at that point, there was a balance. Anakin had done
05:19his job. It just doesn't make sense why people are so angry with him. And you too can help bring
05:25balance to the Force also by hitting that subscribe button and hitting the like button. And please let
05:31me know in the comments anything that doesn't make sense to you and we can do future videos with some
05:37of your thoughts as you've seen previously in the video. Number six, the New Hope torpedoes. These
05:44torpedoes, to me, don't make much sense. The torpedoes seem to make a 90 degree turn to enter the port
05:52when Luke fires it. Now, while the film suggests that Luke uses the Force, guided by Obi-Wan Kenobi's
05:59voice, and even turns off his targeting computer. So how do these torpedoes know where to go? And also, they
06:06start off really wide and then are side by side and then close together and then they're separated and
06:13able to move perfectly into the hole when everyone else misses. I mean, how does the torpedo know which it
06:20has to
06:20turn to be 90 degrees? And how does it know which ones it just has to hit on impact? And
06:26if they are so
06:27good at targeting, how come everyone else has hit the sides? I guess we'll never know if it was the
06:34Force
06:34or was it just pure luck? Number seven, why didn't Darth Vader search for Luke before Empire Strikes Back?
06:42Let's be fair, Obi-Wan didn't do the best of jobs trying to hide Luke from his father. Let's look
06:48at some of
06:49these facts. He took him back to a family farm which Anakin had visited before. They let Luke keep his
06:55surname of Skywalker. It's also where Anakin grew up and this place is full of outlaws and all the
07:02Empire had to do was send out a bounty and anyone with the name Skywalker would have flagged up in
07:08Tatooine because that place is full of bounty hunters and outlaws and people you do not want to mess with.
07:15And the bit that bugs me the most is how did Darth Vader find out that was Luke in the
07:22X-Wing and why
07:23hadn't he thought about this to begin with? Like was Darth Vader on like some sort of rebel newsletter and
07:29get an email blast sent to him about, well done Luke, you blew up the Death Star. Like how did
07:35you find out
07:35this information? Number eight, I am a Skywalker. Yes, at the end of Rise of the Skywalker, Rey has put
07:42it
07:42upon herself to become Rey Skywalker. But how has she decided this? She has absolutely no claim to the
07:49title. She's not related to them at all. If anything, her family is the opposition to Skywalker. I would
07:57have even accepted Ben calling himself a Skywalker instead of a Solo for his ties to Darth Vader.
08:05Even the house on Tatooine wasn't even the Skywalker ranch or farm, it was owned by the laws. So where
08:13has Skywalker come from? She barely knew Luke, Leia was an O'Garner and technically possibly even a Solo.
08:22So she spent very little time with Luke and yet she feels that she can take the moniker of Skywalker.
08:30So does anyone else find it very weird that she decided, hey, I'm going to become a Skywalker,
08:36even though I have no blood relation to it? Couldn't she have just became a Palpatine and put a brand
08:42new
08:43name out there and put a good name out there? So there you have it. There's eight things that myself
08:48and fans just don't understand in the Star Wars universe. If you have some of your own, let me know
08:53in the comments below. I'd love to hear them and I'd love to share them and discuss them in a
08:58future video.
08:59This was WhatCultureStarWars, I was CJ, don't forget the like and subscribe and may the force be with you.
