"The magazine, Star Wars Insider Issue 62, explains that R2's manufacturers at Industrial Automation had limited their factory warranty on astromech rockets to about 20 years, which would explain why R2 doesn't have his rockets in the Original Trilogy."
A brilliant bit of retrospective plot hole-filling, just for you 
The Untouchables. At the end, where they guy (the mayor) says somehting, and then gets thrown off the roof. I dont get it.
Start of Goldfinger. Everyone says the first bit, with the tuxedo under the frogman suit refers to the end of the previous film. The previous film has nothing like this, despite showing bits of From Russia with Love in the title sequence
Top Gun: "The plaque for the alternists is in the Ladies room".... and much hilarity. Never got it when I was 10, still dont get it now

Independence day, the whole thing was just a bit far fetched y'know.
Especially that the 'advanced aline civilisation' only had small ships whose principle weapons were line of sight targetted.
I just couldn't suspend my disbelief at that point.
You never got to the uploading a virus via mac to kill the mothership then? Especially that the 'advanced aline civilisation' only had small ships whose principle weapons were line of sight targetted.

I mean, how did they even connect into the network? (shoddy Alien security?) and were the Aliens running windows?

Spinning off from the star wars thread...
What films do you have an issue with??
LOTR i was disappointed that legolas and gimli were reduced to comedy sidekicks rather than some legendary fighters they were meant to be.
dont get me started on armageddon...
Lots, but since you bring that one up, Aragorn reduced to a petulant runaway, Elrond is a What films do you have an issue with??

, and the story makes no sense (Hobbits revealing themselves to a Black Rider? It should have been film over right there

The Mayor??The guy who gets thrown off the roof is a hit man who killed Sean Connery's character. He gets all smug that Elliot Ness has to arrest him (being all above board straight cop) and then gets arsey and starts telling Ness that Connery "squeeled like a stuck pig" and how he will walk (being connected to the mayor etc).
Ness then decides to throw him off the roof (proper justice?).
Not sure why that was hard to get?
No issues, just an understanding that a lot of things in films are bks but I’ll continue to watch them. Things such as –
The guns that have never ending rounds that are also able to lift the bad guys from their feet and drop them 20 feet away.
If a window blows out in aeroplane and the next few minutes are spent watching people being suckedoff out of the plane systematically

Basically the reason is "because George Lucas made it up as he went along" - and there are plenty of fanboys who will write fanfiction like the above to cover up every plot hole in their beloved Star Wars universe. Just sit down and enjoy it and don't think about it. (Does not apply to I-II-III)
