10 Huge Star Wars Plot Holes That Everyone Overlooks
4. Luke's Inexplicable Escape From Hoth
In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke heads to Dagobah in order to train with Master Yoda as instructed by the Force spirit of Obi-Wan.
However, the film conveniently glosses over the fact that this required Luke to circumvent the Empire's blockade in Hoth, which should've theoretically prevented his escape. What gives?
Pablo Hidalgo himself admitted that asking about the nature of Luke's escape was "a good question," while adding that The Empire Strikes Back "makes the least amount of sense of the films."
The most sensible answers are of course that the Empire was busy chasing down the Millennium Falcon, which may have allowed Luke to sneak through the blockade, but it's still not a particularly persuasive explanation.
Ultimately, Luke escaped Hoth because he had to, not because it made complete sense.
