Star Wars inconsistencies

[Gramm838]

Have you noticed, after watching the current six films (in order), that:

in Episode IV, When Luke first meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan doesn't say "that last time I saw your father I'd just cut his arms off and left him to die in a lava-flow"...

and

In Episode V, when Yoda gives Luke his father's lightsabre, he doesn't say "here's your father's lightsabre...he used it to kill all of the younglings in the Jedi Academy"

LOL

Nor does Darth Vader point at C3 PO and say "Hey! I built that droid when I was a kid!"

He also doesn't say "What's R2 D2 doing her?."

Yeah, there is a feeling of disconnect between what Kenobi tells Luke - his recollection of Anakin just doesn't connect with the prequels. For example, when did Hayden Christiansen's version prove to be "the best starfighter in the galaxy"?

PS - Moved to Star Wars board.

What about how the Emperor went from a normal face, to a disfigured one (explained by Mace Windu). Back to a normal face in Empire, then back to a disfigured one in Jedi?

What happened to Anakin's prodigenous mechanical abilities? As a kid, he built a droid (C-3PO has a suspiciously factory serial number sounding name) and also pod racers. But in the rest of the series, he shows no particular engineering abilities at all. Sure, he oversees the building of the Death Star. But that is because he's an intimidating manager with magical powers, not a hands-on builder.

Luke, even after I cut your father's arms and legs off (in a scene very similar to the battle between King Arthur and the Black Knight in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail), and left him for dead in the lava (in a scene very similar to the destruction of the One Ring in the movie The Return of the King), he still didn't die (in a scene very similar to many scenes seen in the Terminator movies).

Some guy named Darth Vader killed him. Yeah. That.

Non, now, tis true. From a certain point of view....

..at that point he ceased being your father, Anakin Skywalker, and became.... well.... half the man he used to be

Lucas made the story up as he went along.thats why there are inconsistencies,

 

[Narkalui]

Plus when he made iv, v and vi he had a lot of input and advice from good writers. When made i, ii and iii he had yes men who just wanted a bit of cash.

Abed Nadir: "Midichlorians Dad! Midichlorians!"

George Lucas to Lawrence Kasdan when writing Jedi: "Learning to use the force is like learning yoga. Anyone can do it."
