10 Giant Movie Plot Holes That Everyone Chooses To Ignore

5. Jedi Training Only Takes A Day - The Empire Strikes Back

If you've seen the Star Wars prequels, you'll know training someone in the ways of the Force takes years. But in The Empire Strikes Back, Jedi master Yoda manages to dish out a great many lessons to Luke Skywalker, all during the short time it takes the crew of the Millennium Falcon to get from Hoth to Cloud City.

There are two possible explanations here. Either Yoda is an incredibly fast trainer who's managed to impart all his knowledge over the course of what seems like a single day, or there was a serious !*$%-up during the writing and/or editing process.

The reasons the film gets away with this is twofold: it's so fast-paced you barely notice the holes, and it's The Empire Strikes Back. Which means it's not just a great film, getting it off the hook through sheer distracting excellence, but a film about an old space samurai clan fighting an evil empire headed up by a tin man in a cape - there's no point even starting the process of picking holes in that.
