  1. Oh right. So they only had to travel two stars away according to a made-up map with zero credentials at sublight speeds in a week or two. Well when you put it like that it all makes so much sense. /facepalm
  2. Ok, I'll spell this one out clearly for the hard of thinking. Yes, Han clearly states they're in the Anoat system. But they took off from the Hoth system. Without a hyperdrive. This is not possible unless they spent a year or two crawling along at sublight speeds or found a handy wormhole or Gree jumpgate everyone forgot to tell us about. Therefore either: a) Han's full of $hit and/or can't read a navigation computer. or b) Lucas got some trivial detail wrong that only obsessive fanboy apologists care about and everyone's been scrambling to cover his arse about it for the last thirty years. This is pretty much the definition of what a plot hole is. So yes, it is a plot hole, and it'll still be a plot hole regardless of how many different desperate explanations people come up with to attempt to justify a simple script error in a fantasy movie.
  3. The most simple answer is that yes, it's a plot hole. They can't be in the Anoat system because they were in the Hoth system and they didn't have a working hyperdrive, which was a pretty major plot point. George Lucas screwed this, and a few other things (like the 12 parsec Kessel Run) up because he was a movie director, not an astrophysicist, and people have been scrambling to cover his arse over it for years. Hence all the desperate theories and explanations offered by the hack writers of the EU novels which have been repeated so often over the years that they've become "canon". The thing is, no-one cares when Arnold Schwarzenegger fires 3000 bullets from a 200 round belt of machinegun ammo, because it's just a movie. Star Wars, like Star Trek, attracts fans that aren't satisfied unless they can come up with a theory as to why his machinegun can get 3000 bullets out a 200 round belt. This can get taken to an extreme. Check out the Star Wars Technical Commentaries, by Curtis Saxton, a theoretical astrophysicist with way too much time on his hands. Plus, it categorically proves that a Star Destroyer would kick the Enterprises' *** any day of the week.
