"But, it's more than obvious to me (and hopefully others) that 3P0 DID have at least 1 memory wipe in between ROTS & ANH."

Of course it's obvious, considering it's spelled out in one of the last lines of ROTS.
I wouldn't be surprised if fans missed it though, they were either shitting their pants in excitement about how much they liked the movie and doesn't the Tantive IV look nice, or they were ripping up their tickets and throwing popcorn at Rick McCallum.

"Nope. DARTH VADER was an old man when he died. ANAKIN died at the same time as Mace Windu."

This is why split personalities don't convince me at all.
Who was the guy going "Tell your sister you were right", then? Al Franken???
If the idea was that the 'good man who was your father' died when he was young, why didn't they hire some Hamill-esque actor to play Anakin's ghost back in '83??

It's alllll bunk, of course the justification for throwing young-Anakin into ROTJ makes 'some' kind of sense, but it still seems ridicuous to me.

And Yoda, in ANH? That's what, 15-30 seconds of footage you're talking about throwing in there. That's going to slow down the movie and keep us waiting on the bit where Luke gets his first hint of what this Force stuff is all about. If you ask me, that's bad filmmaking, let's not go there.

Cool scenes of Yoda landing on Dagobah, of Darth Vader arriving on his Star Destroyer, of a droid analysing a dart... THAT stuff is the reason we have "Extra Features". It's neat on it's own, but in the movie it just doesn't go.

Though, if you want my opinion (ok, you don't, I've been told this before but here goes) that Anakin punching Greedo in the tits scene shoulda gone in the movie, along with slicing open that probe droid.
After all, why is Qui-Gon running in the next scene? Ok, maybe he's just paranoid but if you ask me that other bit was good.
