Nerd Talk
 

So i was watching star wars episode 4 today and i realized that why dont c-3po and r2-d2 recognize lukes last name like instantly after it explains that he is luke skywalker. I mean they were with anakin alot during the 1, 2 and 3 movies!

Argh i hate moments like this haha makes me think!

Love star wars though

use this thread for nerd moments or videogames and stuff!!!!! lets have some fun!

bahahaha! i know the entire script of all the starwars episodes (its scary) my friends never wanna watch them with me. i actually watched episode 5 today ;)

They had their memories wiped, I'm pretty sure.

they didnt, cuz when luke bought them from the jawas, c3po recognized r2 and hugged him and made luke buy him too cuz he was a great unit, but luke said he had a bad "motivator" when he looked at r2. soo idkk. oh and r2 had this image come out of him when luke was messing with it and it was leia sending a messsage to obi-wan. soo r2 was set on finding obi-wan and completeing his mission when he escaped while luke was asleep and they found him. owen told luke to get their memories erased but he didntt.

god i know a little bit too much

It all makes sense now!

you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor! take her away!!!

Luke:Yes were alive!!!!!

C3PO: Listen R2 theyre dying!

they should have had their memories erased at the end of episode 3 after the luke and leia were born. Later they both served in the rebel alliance with Princess Leia and thats how they knew each other in episode 4.

This is correct. :cool:

interesting!

anybody else have any nerd questions?

Memory wipe - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

"Bail Organa ordered Raymus Antilles to wipe C-3PO's memory to ensure the true lineage of Leia Organa remained unknown. Years later, but for unrelated reasons, Owen Lars told Luke Skywalker to wipe the memory of two recently acquired droids—C-3PO and R2-D2—as part of a routine procedure. The wipe, however, was never performed."

Technically half right, R2-D2 didn't get his memory wiped (at least we aren't aware of that fact).

More info here:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R2-D2

Search for memory wipe.

I think this leads us to the only true conclusion to be had: GEORGE LUCAS HADN'T REALLY ALREADY WRITTEN THE PREQUELS. He just pretended to have because nobody would want to watch them knowing he just threw them together in the 90's.

my god all this information is brilliant!

damn that was a good read you guys haha. i wouldn't even call myself a real star wars fan but that was still dope, thanks!

Try not to get caught up on the wiki, I just spend 2 hours on there :wavey:

my gf hasnt watched any of the movies... made me sad... lol

I love Star Wars! I need to start buying the Clone Wars series on Blu-Ray. Shit, all 6 movies need to be released on Blu-Ray too.

yeaa i was righttt. i remember that dialogue between luke and owen.

haha i love star wars!

haha is there any other stuff that happens in the movies that doesnt make sense?

i remember when episode 1 came out i got so confused with padme and queen amidala i was like who the F is who! haha
