I see many people claiming that the other six movies are full of plot holes, things that don't make sense, and inconsistencies. Feel free to point them out since I really haven't seen anyone do so.

OK, in Ep IV:

Vader tortures Leia but even being incredibly powerful in the Force, at no point figures out that she's his daughter. Luke and Leia figure this out on their own even with limited/no training.

Leia has her entire planet, family and friends, but all she effectively does is direct a glare at Vader and is later calmly relaxing in her cell by the time Luke and Han break in to save her. Either she's a robot or this is just poor writing/directing/acting.

Luke and Leia are supposed to be kept secret, yet they simply give Luke to Anakin's family and keep the same surname? You don't need the Force to figure that one out.

At the end of the film, the Death Star has to orbit a planet to get into position to destroy the moon the rebel base is in giving the rebels time to get in and destroy the infamous space station. A planet, eh? And a Death Star is designed to do what exactly?

There's a simple reason why Vader doesn't realize that Leia isn't his daughter.  It's because regardless of what Lucas wants anyone to believe, he thought that Star Wars was going to be a one time deal.  It was like an old Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon serial that you were entering in the middle.  Thus Episode IV.  I'm pretty sure that he didn't know that Leia was Darth's daughter at that point.

Leia shows sadness and panic when Tarkin says that he is going to blow up Alderaan.  After the deed is done, she shows her resolve by not cracking.  In other words, Carrie Fisher is a pretty bad actress.  Always has been.

Once again.  See paragraph one.

You got me there.  That was  pretty stupid.  

All that being said; many of the problems in Episode IV occur after watching the next two installments.  The reason being, that they weren't intended in the first place.

Was it perfect?  No.  But I couldn't pick apart and destroy it like I (and many others in this thread) have with Episode VII.

I don't think any of that is an excuse. Lucas knew he was making sequels and would have known he was putting a whole bunch of plot holes when he made the next two films. The whole of the original trilogy can be picked apart and destroyed and far worse than anything anyone has said about Force Awakens.

There's quite an exhaustive list. The Force Awakens is really not that bad when you put it into perspective.
