I've read a lot of that, and it seems to have been written before Revenge of the Sith, since it misses a lot of plot points that occurred there, like Obi-Wan and R2 having a lot of direct contact with each other. And I really don't think that even George would write in that all-important mind wipe line if it wasn't actually going to happen. I mean, the whole point was to cover his ass.
