Your explanations seem most convincing. Still . . . Yet nobody, in any film, including Anakin, ever had any trouble distinguishing these particular personable droids from all others. I think Leia fleeing to Tatooine, of all of the perhaps 4.6 billion planets in the galaxy, might have seemed like an astonishing coincidence. The planet of his birth, where mother died and his step-family lived, where he met Padme, . . . a planet also familiar to Obi-wan Kenobi. I would think the situation would seem far more than a fluke. It might make me think of Jedi's and mothers instead of Rebel Alliances. The Emperor's instructions would not have inhibited him from uncovering an unsuspected Jedi threat. Alas, I would prefer that the films stand alone. I thought I recognized his foul stench. But I still think holding Vaders leash is about the most dangerous job in the empire.
The worst was when the representative to address the supreme council in the Queens absence was an inarticulate Rastafarian salamander with a 6th-grade education. They should have called him Jethro-Jethro.

More Star Wars questions. 1. Why does Obi Wan in Episode 4 A New Hope say, "A young Jedi named Darth Vader killed your father" Darth Vader was not a Jedi, he was a Sith, Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi, but not a Jedi Master. 2. Where were the cameras on Princess Leia's diplomatic ship? 3. How come midichlorians are never mentioned in Episode 4,5,6. 4. Why is Qui Gon Jinn never mentioned in episode 4,5,6.
He was bullchtting Luke and being evasive. Luke knew what a Jedi was, it was way too soon to try to explain what a Sith Lord was. :huh: Not invented for another 20 years, clearly. That's like asking "why are there no computer graphics in 4,5,6." I understand those things, its the continuity issues that they had control over that annoy me.
Reality: In 1977 Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were intended to be two different people. Apology: Love and attachment led to Anakin's fall. Obi-wan wanted to protect Luke from the truth so he could evade his father's fate. And what he said was true... from a certain point of view. Maybe jammed by the Empire? Reality: They did not exist. Apology: There was no need to discuss them. They serve absolutely no purpose. There is really never a need to mention Qui Gon. Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, and Eeth Koth are never mentioned either.
Well hell. No Star Wars thread would be complete without this tribute to the movie, as well as the man behind the music (and music for several other blockbusters). I've probably already posted this before, but here it is again. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4[/MEDIA]
I've been a causual Star Wars fan since the original. Have all of the episodes. This thread is certainly an education into the details of that tale. When it gets hot as Hades this summer, I'll watch them all again and look for some of the finer points identified here. Thanks :thumb: Couldn't resist posting this classic scene: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLx0BCjtxx8[/media]
Well, a lot of Star Wars nerds try to explain the timeline. The original Star Wars was written to stand on it's own. Because of it's success they made the original episode 4 and came out with episodes 5 and 6. After 20 years they put in episodes 1-3 with dozens of books written in between. Naturally, they had sequencing problems. One can try and intellectualize them away or try and demand answers when there are none. I just superficially watched the movies and enjoyed the entertainment.
