   It was a really good movie - I would like to see it again. However I agree with the inconsistencies - some of it did not make sense and would have changed the future episodes. I rate it a 8 1/2 out of 10.

   CNN predicts that all of the Star Wars movies and merchandise bought will make the sales go over $20 billion dollars.

   Maybe you’ll find out in Episode 3 1/2 that Leia was talking about their step mother I think it’s really dumb when a sequel or prequel is not consistent. The sad part is that these movies will still make $20 * 10 ^ 9 (with merchandise).

   The mother Leia remembers is her adoptive mother on Alderaan, she doesnt know any different than that. I dont really see how this ruins ROTJ.

   The reason why technology seems to have gone backwards is because during the Empire’s reign, they’ve surpressed new technology, opting for a far more industrious and utilitarian appearance.

   You can also argue that Lucas will put scenes in the original Trilogy with these droids in future reissues. Remember, back in the 70’s and 80’s, technology was limited and money was tight, they probably didnt get to show all the cool droids they had in mind. Just my $.2

   The ROTJ script states:

   Ben: When your father left, he didn’t know your
   mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew
   he would find out eventually, but we wanted
   to keep you both as safe as possible, for as
   long as possible. So I took you to live with
   my brother Owen on Tatooine… and your mother
   took Leia to live as the daughter of Senator
   Organa, on Alderaan.

   Later on:

    LUKE
              Leia... do you remember your mother? Your
              real mother?
   
                             LEIA
              Just a little bit. She died when I was very
              young.
   
                             LUKE
              What do you remember?
   
                             LEIA
              Just...images, really. Feelings.
   
                             LUKE
              Tell me.
   
                             LEIA
              (a little surprised at his insistence)
              She was very beautiful. Kind, but...sad.
              (looks up) Why are you asking me all this?
   

   ---

   Well… I guess it is a little vague: images and feelings. Which is it? She states that she was very beutiful. It sounds to me that she knew her real mother for a period of time.

   There’s no doubt there’s an inconsistency about Padme, in R.O.T.J. Leia was talking about her REAL mother indeed.

   The major gap in technology? I’ve noticed that too, but the real reason is because Lucas had a much bigger budget AND CG to work with in the new movies. It would have been nice, however, if he could have integrated things a little more - showing a gradual progression in technology as the episodes progressed.

   Here’s another one for you: In Episode 4, Obewan Kenobe doesn’t seem to remember R2D2 or C-3PO. I do think, however, that you can explain away the droids not remembering him - wasn’t there a line at the end of Episode 3 where the droids will have their memories erased?

   In Episode 3, Darth Vader’s understanding is that Padme dies before giving birth. How does he find out about his son, but not his daughter?

   Given the fact that we see Darth Vader as a guy who is a power seeker and who wants to rule the galaxy, the way he turns to the dark side is not very believable. Makes you wonder how Count Duku turned - and however that was, it probably fits the role for Darth Vader a little better…

    Darth Vader didn’t know she was having twins at all….
