These Things Make No Sense In Star Wars

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