But back to ROTJ - there are a LOT of inconsistencies in that movie in relation to ANH/ESB:

- Darth Vader's super-shiny suit
- Boba Fett's armor

Isn't it simply concievable that in the year or so since ESB Vader cleaned his armor, and Fett modified/fixed/upgraded/tweaked/gained-weight-and-had-it-adjusted his armor?

Sure, it's conceivable. That doesn't mean it doesn't bug the shit out of me anyway. You can either be consistent with sequels, or change something that wasn't fucked up to begin with, letting people come up with their own in-universe explanations as to why it's changed.

Bad example perhaps, but one that's stuck with me since I first saw it in theaters - the neuralyzers in Men in Black II. Why the hell were they blue?! Sure, you can say that they're upgraded, a new model, but why couldn't they have just left them red for consistency's sake?

Oh, and Fett's armor isn't an upgrade issue, it's a color issue for me. There's too much red trim on his ROTJ suit that was a shade of green on his ESB suit.
