[Mark mentioned in his answer](https://writing.stackexchange.com/a/47928/32946) that plotholes aren't usually the end of the world, and that I shouldn't sacrifice too much of the story and the characters for the sake of logic.But there's a breaking point where everyone goes "That makes no sense!"The other is with an idea of mine: Essentially the parody of the 2003 Clone Wars miniseries by Gendy Tarantino Tartakovsky.It takes the rule of cool, prevalent in the series, exploits and abridges it when Styropyro, Szertár, Sam O'Nella, and Ms. Frizzle overtake the series. They abuse Grievous with 7W laserpointers and flashbangs, blow Durge up with IEDs and destroy an army of 200+ droids with a blaster, a GoPro, a smartphone and Osu _Kissing the Tears_ levels of jackhammering on the trigger.There's silly stuff like when G blows up and only his head remains, he says MC (main character) stands taller as a warrior than he does. Nonetheless this idea's essence is **practicality \> literally Samurai Jack but with laser swords**One could argue that such moments won't harm the story's overall tone as a funny love letter to those who thought Holdo's driving skills are what ruined SW's worldbuilding.**But what should I do when the story is actually serious and logic is a cornerstone of its premise but it could get in the way of other stuff?**
