And I suppose while we're at it, we might as well delete any dialogue in the OT that might contradict the PT. For instance, virtually anything Obi-Wan says about Luke's pa, and Obi-Wan's instruction to Luke on Hoth to seek out Yoda ("the Jedi master who instructed me"), and Obi-Wan's interaction with Yoda inside Yoda's hut, and Obi's claim that Anakin "wanted you [Luke] to have this when you were old enough," and the dialogue between Luke and Leia on Endor in which Leia claims to remember her mother, and countless other bits and pieces of OT canon that just doesn't jive with established PT dogma. Right? After all, consistency is more important than quality.

No. Except the one about Leia remembering her mother. Luke asking if she remembers her mother could just be removed. The others can be explained... Yoda probably DID train Obi-Wan before Qui Gon took him on as a padawan. And about the lightsaber thing, Obi-Wan could have assumed Anakin would have wanted his son to have his lightsaber, if that makes any sense.
