Star wars film question *spoilers*

Ok so i recently purchased all 6 (was cheaper to get them all together :P) And started watching A new hope again. But one thing has struck me only now... In Episode 1-3 C3po and R2-D2 go along with anakin to Tatooine and meet Anakins mother and her new husband (forget the name) and there son owen.. they visit the farm, and even at the last scene of Episode 3 (if i am not mistaken). So why in A new hope do they know nothing off the place... they don't even question Luke SKYWALKER. :P Only now that i have watched the first 3 episodes is this striking me as odd :lol: anyone have a explanation? memory wipe or something... or just generally covering it up.

Jimmy Smitts mentions the memory wipe at the end of Episode 3. I forget hius character name, or the ship they're on (but it;s the same ship we see at the very start of Episode 4).

Yeah. They mentioned having memory wipes at the end of episode 3.

Lucas formatted their hard drives

yeah they got their memory deleted because they had important information.mayforcebeyou

I'm pretty sure that the place where Anakin's mother was living is different from Uncle Owen's place.

It's the same place. Shmi married Cliegg Lars, and Owen Lars is his son.

C3PO's memory is deleted, but not R2-D2's

Ya it was in Episode 2, though they never show Owen's dad in Episode 3.

Hmm it seems you are right. I'd guess the memory wipe is the correct explanation.

I really need to watch the first 3 episodes a bit more.. only watched through them once each :P Now the original trilogy i have watched a good few times.

Everyone should stop focusing on the Clone Wars stuff and make make 3 movies out of the Thrawn campaign. That would kick some ass.

Personally, I just don't know how Darth Vader forgot about them... I mean, he SAW them at one point, and you can't memory wipe a person... lolGodofBigMacs

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"][QUOTE="Avian005"]C-3PO had his memory wiped after Episode III, and R2-D2 never met the Larrs. R2 was only searching for Obi-wan, and they never learned Luke's last name.

Well, C-3PO could translate, but R2's not exactly conversational, he's not going to tell Luke things he doesn't need to know. I think there actually is some cannon EU material where R2 shows Luke a hologram of his mother and tells him a bunch of stuff, but R2 knows how to keep a secret whereas 3PO is likely to blab it out at some point or another.

True but C3po can understand it. However r2 seems to know when to keep his mouth(speakers?:P) shut which is maybe why nothing is said from R2..

I have a question too!

how did they managed to have the same Anakin from episode 3 at the ending of the final movie (Return of the Jedi) when the first 3 weren't even made and the movie was released 2 decades before episode 3? He looks exactly the same, face, hair, etc.

Alan-ex-

you watched the remastered version, where they literally chopped Hayden into that scene, originally it was someone else.

Never mind I read the actor's wikipedia. It says his head was replaced in the 2004 re-release.

I can rest in peace now.

Yeah thanks I just read Hayden Christensen's Wikipedia.
