Thanks, Simon, you're absolutely right about R2 saying that. I forgot. I still think it would make more sense if that was simply part of Leia's programming, but it does seem that Lucas at least tried to make that make sense. Seems a little bit forced in my opinion, but there are many more major things to complain about. I still find it hard to believe that R2 would have kept quiet about that for 20 years and think that both droids should have been wiped, but it makes a little more sense now in terms of story, but I don't see why they wouldn't. R2 can only communicate in beeps and whistles, but he can still communicate with other droids, and there are programs to decipher his speech, so if they were trying to get rid of information, they should have wiped R2 as well.

Hehe, thanks, great quote. I don't think it would have hurt, though, to simply say he used to know R2 and leave it at that. Once again, I think that could have been handled better. But I'm glad you're around to catch my mistakes. ^_~
