The fact remains that this new dialogue makes no sense now ... even if George tries to explain it away in a lousy prequel, the scene doesn't make sense.

I anticipate that half of Revenge of the Sith's runtime will be spent making sense out of all the dippy inconsistencies between the prequels and the real trilogy ... C3PO's memory wipe, Ben's memory wipe (because he clearly forgot about how R2D2 saved his life), the twins, the ghostly visions of deceased Jedi, the Emperor's lack of knowledge of Luke. I think he's going to try to draw a link between Chewbacca and Ben ... ugh, I wish it was over so I could start forgetting the prequels exist.
