I will agree that the plot hole bonanza and lazy storytelling by Lucas started in ROTJ. But the reason they are not as noticable was everything was so general in the OT, we had to envision anything in that happened in the past.

Sure Lucas made up Luke/Leia sibling in ROTJ, but you could justify it because you never really met Bail Organa, or there wasn't anything from ANH that would make you say, "Wait a minute, that is a contradiction?" And just caused they kissed in ESB, that was justified to anyone that if they didn't know they were related to Leia, wouldn't you try to score with her? Sure when you finally find out, I would have brushed my teeth, but I guess there wasn't any toothpaste on Dagobah when Kenobi told Luke!

The OT had that luxury of not being specific, so when Lucas started making the galaxy so small in the OT, it wasn't that bad, even though you could tell he was changing the story around. In the PT, it had to be specific, so everything was noticable.

Padme dies at childbirth, but Leias says in ROTJ she died while she was very young. WTF? It is just a total contradiction, and the only explanation is force memories, and that is just a lame excuse. C-3PO being built by Anakin, Boba Fetts dad being the Stormtrooper Clone, and Yoda being boys with Chewy weren't plot holes, but they made the universe TOO small. The great charm of the OT was everyone kinda got thrown into the situation and wasn't meant to be there per say. The PT has one big coincidence after the other, and kinda cheapens the OT when you get to it.

We should have never seen secondary characters in the PT. The tuskens, Chewy, Boba Fett, even Jabba in TPM, all those should have had their entrance in an OT movie. I think Lucas tried to appease the OT crowd by using these tieins to make us feel nostalgic and everyone of them backfired, cause it just looked like he was out of ideas.

I still can't listen when C-3PO says in TPM, "My parts are showing!" It is stuff like that, you start to shake your head and wonder is this the same director who did the original SW?
