Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith/Nit Central Corrections

# Chris Marks on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 3:12 am: How come 3PO gets his memory wiped, and R2 doesn't? Darth Sarcasm on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 1:15 pm: Maybe because Threepio was created by Anakin. He's also prone to talking too much. 
# Ed Watson on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 11:58 am: If Obi Wan brings Luke to Tatooine to live with his Aunt and Uncle, why does the Uncle refer to "Old Ben" in ANH like someone he doesn't really know? Was he just lying to Luke in order keep him away from the crazy Jedi? Brian FitzGerald on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 12:40 pm: Probably because while Luke was a baby Obi-Wan told Owen that he wanted to train him to be a Jedi so that he could join the Rebellion aginst the Empire and destroy the Sith and Owen said something like "That's my kid you are talking about. I'm not going to raise him so that he can go off and get killed at the ripe old age of 20. I want him to stay here, work for a living and have a family of his own. I don't want to see you around here any more".
# During the opening rescue of Palpatine, the ship breaks in half and the part that's left quickly starts burning up on re-entry. It's not until about 20 seconds later, after most of the ship is on fire, that the shot inside the bridge of the ship shows Anakin saying "we've entered the atmosphere". I remember thinking, "well gee, what was your first clue there, young Jedi? Slight disturbance in the force, or the giant fireball you're flying?" Perhaps he was too busy trying to control what was left of the ship to notice!
# Influx on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 11:10 am: Why did the Clone (Commander Cody? Really?) give Obi-Wan back his light saber, and wait for him to get up the side of the mountain before trying to kill him? J on Friday, June 17, 2005 - 11:18 pm: The order came just after Cody gave Obi his saber and Obi departed. 
# Obi-Wan is referred to as “General” at one point (and also as such by Leia in Episode IV). However, General is a military designation, and he is a Jedi Master on the Council. It seems that the two roles would be a conflict of interest. J on Friday, June 17, 2005 - 11:18 pm: The Jedi served as the generals of the Republic Army. Prior to the clones, they were pretty much the only peacekeeping force the Republic had, so only they had the experience needed to lead.
