NOKW - Star Wars IV

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

Basic Plot:  Han, Chewy, Luke, Leia, R2-D2, and a gay robot meet for the first time to take on Darth Vader and the Death Star.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that Chewy can fix a warp drive but can't speak an intelligible language.  The fact that the builders of the Death Star would have even built a vent that led straight to their reactor, couldn't they just have had the vent take one turn, I'm fairly sure that would have fixed the problem.  The fact that Obi-Wan was supposed to be watching over Luke, but when Luke showed up on his doorstep, he didn't even seem to know who he was.  The fact that after blowing up Alderaan, the rebellion didn't multiply in size and take down the Empire by the 2nd movie.  The fact that the Empire has garbage monsters in their trash compactors.  The fact that Luke was the one to take down the Death Star even though he had flown an X-Wing a total of zero times.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that Darth Vader didn't find his son sooner when Yoda and Obi-Wan's plan to hide Luke involved leaving him on Vader's home planet with his stepbrother.  Oh, and they didn't even bother changing Luke's last name.  That's right, Luke Skywalker was hidden in probably the first place Vader should have looked.  Meanwhile, Vader's daughter was at least given to a royal family on Alderaan and had a new last name.  That makes sense.  Luke's hiding spot was just lazy on the part of the Jedi.  Sure, you could point out that Vader thought his kids were dead, but he has the "Force" and he should have been able to sense that they were still alive and should have gone looking in the most obvious place imaginable, his home planet.  In which case, you could just logically assume that getting around in that awesome suit of his was harder than we thought.  I am not okay with that.

"Boob-ya!"
