	Lets also not forget the strange moment in Obi-Wan's homestead where C-3P0 actually shuts himself off at the mention of Luke's Father's lightsaber, perhaps something from his programming? At no other time in the films does C3P0 voluntarily power himself down... something I've always found interesting. -----signature----- Judge me by my registration date do you?

At no other time in the films does C3P0 voluntarily power himself down... something I've always found interesting. yes, that is mentioned in a section here on theforce.net abour continuity. "C-3PO is a protocol droid, a sort of valet, and is programmed for keeping confidential information. In his early conversations with Luke Skywalker, he evaded discussion of Princess Leia until late after key facts were told in Kenobi's presence. When Obi-Wan began to tell Luke a tale about Anakin and the Jedi, Threepio requested to be shut down, likely to avoid discussion and facing awkward memories about his Maker's tragic fate. Nevertheless the supposedly inert droid was only pretending unconsciousness; as he eavesdropped on the conversation he(Anthony Daniels obviously) swayed slightly but visibly. This evasive behaviour was prompted by Threepio's recognition of Anakin's lightsabre." However, Threepio should not recognize anything about Anakin because Antilles wiped his memory. or did he? perhaps he admired the two droids loyalty to their masters and felt they could be useful later so he installed a master override on their memories to protect them - maybe he gave them a false history(droids animated perhaps) - but kept their personalities intact. he just never counted on dying before deactivating it.

	but in the movie he denies knowing who she is, but he must since he has served Captain Antilles for nearly twenty years. what does IIRC mean?

	Except Leia hasn't served with Captain Antilles for twenty years, and we don't know the details of everything 3PO was doing during that time. -----signature----- "James T. Kirk was a great man... but that was another life."

Antilles is captain of the ship that transports Bail Organa. When Leia becomes Senator it is very likely the same. In Episode IV, Threepio tells Luke their last master was Captain Antilles. So, unless the two droids took off for their own adventures for a few years, they've most likely served Antilles for those twenty years. How else would Antilles know that, override code or not, Artoo was up to the job of holding on to the Death Star data and tracking down Obi-Wan Kenobi. Therefore, it is more than likely that Threepio has encountered Leia before.

	Luke says to Ben in reference to R2-D2; "He says he belongs to someone named Obi-Wan. I think my Uncle knows him". Probably Princess Leia programmed R2 to believe he was the property of Obi-Wan Kenobi so that whomever may have found R2 would take him to Ben so he could deliver his message, which he did. R2-D2 didn't "belong" to Ben, but, that was the story R2-D2 told to Luke so Luke would take him directly to Ben. Ben had a lot of other things to think about once he decided to live on Tatooine to watch over Luke, and so he maybe just forgot R2-D2. He had to learn how to imitate the call of a Krayt Dragon and how to cook Bantha meat and Wamp rat meat and come up with new and interesting ways to serve the meat. Wamp rat soup, stew, omelettes, steak, hamburger. Bantha sausage. He had a lot on his mind just surviving. So he forgot about R2-D2, what's the big deal? He didn't actually "own" him. Or, maybe he had owned R2, but said he didn't..."remember ever owning a droid" because it was "from a certain point of view" that he didn't "own" him. You say tomato, I say tom-aw-to.

	That always bugged me, especially since the new Clone Wars series came out and Obi-Wan is spending a lot of time around R2. Yet even if Obi-Wan recongizes the droid, but didn't want to say anything to Luke, why wouldn't he try and talk to him? -----signature----- Caramba i carambita!

	This has probably already been said in the thread, but keep in mind that Obi-Wan never says "I can't seem to remember ever knowing this droid". He says "I can't seem to remember ever owning a droid", which is true. He never owned R2, and he's never been shown to have owned his own droid (just used ones that were the property of the Jedi Order, such as R4). It's a retcon, to be sure, but it still works. You just have to take it as being true "from a certain point of view". -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_I_-_The_Chosen_One Production blog: http://alternativesaga.wordpress.com/

	You mean the R4-part is a retcon, right? The rest has always been true, and he certainly never seemed to care one way or another who R4 belongs to as long as it does as it's told. All the many R4's he goes through Hell, with his attitude, even if they were all his, he probably really wouldn't remember it like that -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead
