I always felt a kind of female energy coming from that silver droid.

I never understood why this was a problem. He never did own a droid. Maybe if he said, "Funny, I don't remember any droids." I don't believe he ever says he doesn't remember the droids.

No, it's a fine analogy. I saw that toaster every day. I stuffed bread into it, and it returned it to me toasty and warm. But there are billions of other identical toasters out there, and over the decades, they kind of blend into one. I mean, seriously, look at this logically: By what identifying characteristic could Obi-Wan have recognized Threepio or Artoo and differentiated them from other droids of an identical model?

Toasters also don't have personalities. It might be more appropriate to equate the droids to beloved family pets that one most certainly never forgets. If anything the series has shown the droids R2 and 3PO to be viewed as indispensible and irreplaceable companions to the main characters whom they serve. They most certainly are not viewed as appliances.

Irreplaceable, yet easily manipulated. Bail doesn't seem to have a problem wiping 3PO's memory

In certain ways, the prequels seem more outdated than the OT and they're only 1-7 years old! The OT films remain as timeless as ever.

But even something like that may not have saved the movie- but it would have made it a tad deeper and more entertaining, anyway.

I don't think he would have done that to Anakin or to Padme). I think a kind of "love triangle" like that would have deepened the drama, especially when Ben essentially watched her die in ROTS (and watched the torment she went through with Anakin), and would have given Anakin another motive to want to fight Ben, if he sensed his Ben's feelings for Padme. They sort of barely hinted at something like that- but it really never came to fruition.

I remember thinking along the very same lines at the end of TPM. A love triangle between those three would have been awkward and very uncomfortable, but definitely cool.
