I was discussing this with some buddies the other day, and a couple of plot holes rose to the top as the most egregious ones that just don't make any sense at all.
1 - Darth Vader somehow seems unaware that Tatooine is in fact his own home planet, and that he has relatives there with his same last name... and this is the place where Obi Wan Kenobi decides to hide Luke?
The more you think about it, it just absolutely makes no sense at all. And while there is a lot of retconning of the Star Wars universe, Lucas knew from the beginning that Darth was going to be Luke's dad. I get that Darth might not get invited back for holiday dinners, but you'd think that in a super large galaxy that you wouldn't want to have Luke grow up using the Skywalker name and living on Darth's planet if the plan is to keep the child hidden. Also, Yoda seems to have just said F it all, screw the future by never training Luke or having Obi Wan do it, why the heck is Obi Wan suddenly so keen to train him after not doing crap for 20 years while Luke toils as a water farmer? And imagine how pissed whiny ass Luke should be when he finds out his sister got to be a princess while he farmed in the desert.
2 - The T-Rex levitating out of its cage in Jurassic Park
No one will ever convince me that the T-Rex didn't fly out of its cage. We see the Rex rip down a fence, crush some cars, and then push one of the cars through the hole he made in the fence only to see the car plummet down into some trees. How in the world did T-Rex manage to walk out of his cage if there is a giant dropoff on the other side of the fence? The book talks about moats, but this is no moat. The whole enclosure seems to be sunken down like 100 feet from the road. So how in the world are the visitors supposed to see T-Rex from the cars when he's down in his cage? Of course, this is balanced against the fact that we do see the goat at road level. This begs the question, which reality is real, the one with a road level goat, or the one where a car tumbles 100 feet into the trees. Maybe there is some kind of super steep hill right near where the goat was raised? That's the logical answer I guess, but we see no evidence of this hill, and such a set up would again mean T-Rex is not at eye level for visitors except when tempted by a goat.
