==Examples== * At the end of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' film ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'', it is considered imperative to hide [[Luke Skywalker]] from [[Darth Vader]], but [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] does so in plain sight on Vader's home planet, even using Luke's real name. He himself only slightly alters his name and makes no secret of his Jedi heritage.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a15336898/all-star-wars-movies-plot-holes/|title=A Comprehensive List of 'Star Wars' Plot Holes|first=Matt|last=Miller|date=Jan 19, 2018|website=Esquire}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-plot-holes/nathan-gibson|title=14 Star Wars Plot Holes Bigger Than The Death Star|website=Ranker}}</ref> * In the narrative [[Climax (narrative)| climax]] of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', [[Frodo Baggins]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]] are rescued from [[Mordor]] by three [[Eagles in Middle-earth|giant eagles]] after destroying the [[One Ring]]. Some readers and viewers of the film adaptation have regarded this as a plot hole because the eagles could have flown a suitable Ring-bearer directly to Mordor in the first place, obviating much of the story's plot. Craig Elvy of ''[[Screen Rant]]'' believes the perception of a plot hole might be due in part to the significantly compressed space and time dimensions of the film version, compared to the books.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/lord-rings-fellowship-eagles-fly-mordor-plot-hole/|title=Why The Fellowship Couldn't Use The Eagles in Lord of the Rings|website=[[Screen Rant]]|date=23 September 2019}}</ref> * The 1991 Disney film ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]'' includes a line about a rose blooming until the prince's twenty-first year, and a song in which Lumière the candelabra sings "ten years we've been rusting" - implying that the Prince was 11 when the curse was placed upon the castle, despite a painting showing him to have been older than this. The [[Beauty and the Beast (2017 film)|2017 remake]] removed the rose reference and changed the lyric to "too long we've been rusting".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rowney |first1=Jo-Anne |title=Beauty and the Beast remake just solved a lot of the original film's plot holes |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/film/beauty-beast-remake-plotholes-solves-10050530 |access-date=11 October 2023 |work=The Mirror |date=18 March 2017 |language=en}}</ref>
