[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [qb]It also seemed to me, that in Ep II, 3PO doesn't remember R2 at all. Again his memory must've been erased in between I and II.[/qb][/QUOTE]He couldn't have had a memory wipe (that's what it's called, BTW, and it's quite common and routine for many droids when they are passed between owners---it apparently doesn't affect any of the droid's core programming, just the "personal" memories acquired through the years/months/whatever) between TPM and AOTC because he remembered Anakin. I'd say that there's no real evidence that he didn't remember R2, and even that aside, I see no real reason why he *should* for that matter. They were briefly introduced, and 3PO hadn't even been [i]finished[/i] yet. [QUOTE]Origianlly posted by E. Cartman: [b]"I thought the main characters and events of Ep I and II were invented and written then and there by Lucas at the inception of the films." They were. The problem is that there's a whole lot of semi-established "canon" which Lucas is going directly against, leading to contradictions within the SW universe and a very ugly mess for us fanboys to clean up.[/b][/QUOTE]Well, sort of. The degree to which Lucas actually had the backstory planned out "in the beginning" is obviously not as high as he would have us believe in his personal interviews. This is evidenced by the numerous differences we've seen between the screenplays of the original films (which, incidentally, is where a lot the additional dialogue in the novels comes from, including Obi-Wan's discussion of his duel with Vader in the ROTJ novel) and the prequels, (i.e. Owen Lars being Obi-Wan's brother and such) and by other behind-the-scenes info. Though Lucas clearly did have some kind of plan laid out, specific characters were either added later (Qui-Gon, for example) or, as in the case of Amidala (who is obviously supposed to be the mysterious mother mentioned by Leia in ROTJ) were originally very sketchy and later were reworked or elaborated upon greatly. And as far as continuity between the prequels and other elements of the SW universe such as the novels, comics, etcetera goes, there haven't been too many glaring discrepancies. Most stuff is fairly workable. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
