By now you've probably read Seth Abramson's column "40 Unforgivable Plot Holes in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'" and Matt Grunger's blistering rebuttal, or excuse-making for J. J. Abrams, depending on your viewpoint. There has been a lot of discussion as to what a plot hole is, how it differs from a coincidence, and so on and so forth.
But the problem is that Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is a movie way too concerned with maintaining a breakneck pace and setting up questions for later movies to answer that it doesn't stand very well on its own, nor does it stand very well as a logical continuation of what has gone on in the previous two trilogies.
So it's no fun to nitpick this latest installment. After nitpicking this movie, or after defending this movie against the nitpickers, do you feel like you're talking about some great movie that will stand the test of time in the same way as A New Hope and Empire strikes back? I sure don't.
