Let me give two examples from the movies that don't add up.
1. In New Hope Obi-Wan shows no sign of recognizing R2-D2 or C-3PO.
2. Here's a biggie. Padmaie dies right after Luke and Leia's birth in Revenge of The Sith. In Return of the Jedi, Luke asks Leia what she remembers about her REAL mother. Leia replies not much, but that she remembered her as being sad.
I'm sure someone will come along and explain to me why I'm wrong on these observations, but until then you all will just have to accept that when you add new parts to an existing story, even one as great as SW, details get messed up. |
I won't say that you are wrong, necessarily, those probably are just screw ups, but after twenty years, in a galaxy filled with droids that all look very similar (there are several C-3PO-looking droids in the movies, and pleny of astromech droids as well) it's probably forgivable for Kenobi not to recognize them right away (he wasn't exactly found of them in the prequel trilogy).
As for Leia's memory... maybe she was just sooooo strong in the force, that she could remember tragic things like her mother's death... of course that doesn't really explain it, Lucas just screwed up (even though tons of people were saying that Revenge of the Sith needed to answer both of those questions you brought up).
However, things like people's memories aren't the same as history. History gets screwed up all the time, things are forgotten, things are changed, villians become heroes and vice versa. Humans really have very little idea what happened a thousand years ago on this one little planet, imagine trying to keep track of something as big as a whole galaxy worth of history.
