Uncle owen lived with 3po for years, I was listening to the ATOC novelization and Shmi and the droid are there since not long after anakin left, I think they said 10 years. And it was after they got married Shmi finished putting the metal on him herself, covering him as he is seen with her funeral in ATOC. So he isn't going to recognize the look, the voice, none of it? I can't remember exactly, but doesn't 3po actually introduce himself when he's picking out droids in ANH..."saying my name is c3po, human cyborg relations"? Thanks for pointing out my misspelling! I may have been examing and examining your statement too closely

, but there is some irony to saying I am stretching by saying when speaking of fanboy justification as those that blindly follow will make everything fit. It is a story after all and it takes on religious following, zealousness, and justification for things that aren't there. It is not real. It is a story. There always will be holes. It is a question of how many and the level of acceptability. My point is just that. Does this reach a point of frustration to anyone or pull you out of some level of culpability? I think certainly anakin/vader did see c3po in ANH and Empire at cloud city and again the voice is unmistakable. The rockets on r2? Umm, I kind of like it, but then again it makes you watch the OT differently...so you ask yourself how much more of the OT has to be altered to fit the mythology/storyline of the PT. Technology alone can not be justification.

I may be wrong, I am not trying to win a war. I was simply asking a question of does this pull anyone else out of the mythos of the star wars saga?
