      Myne he thought they'd been extinct for a millenia, but he's wrong clearly because palpatine.
      Also as other people point out, he never sees the guy not gets confirmation that he's a sith, just that there's a person with training that want a jedi.
      There's plenty of 'force users' in the galaxy that aren't jedi out sith, like the dathomir witches or the people from the episode with Mace and JaJa on a busy chip adventure (Bardotta?).
      The best plot hole fix is Darth Vader being Lukes dad. "What I told you was the truth, from a certain point of view".

    I always figured that Artoo never told Luke because, at first, he had more pressing things to do - locating Obi-Wan. And when they did, Artoo followed Obi-Wan's lead in not just flat out revealing everything to Luke right up front because Artoo would trust Obi-Wan implicitly. As Obi-Wan knew he would, since he did in fact recognize Artoo - in the canon young adult novel "The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy," while they are on the Millennium Falcon, Obi-Wan tells Artoo something along the lines of "it's good to fly with you again, old friend."

  • @AaronLevine-t3j
    @AaronLevine-t3j 3 месяца назад +8

    In canon a better answer as to why Vader did not recognize C3PO; C3PO was a different color and was one Vader built himself. C3PO was also shown to be just one of those particular models. I forgot where exactly in canon there was one that had a female voice. And R2D2 never saying anything to Luke to how he knew Vader is his father; R2 was present quite frequently around Obi Wan and Bail Organa as well as Yoda. And during the clone wars R2 was proven more times than none that he could be trusted with secrecy and is considered family among the Skywalker family. In one episode of the clone wars Anakin was called out by either Mace Windu or Obi Wan or both I can't remember on not wiping R2's memory as part of a standard droid procedure. Anakin refused to do so because he had a bond with the unit. R2 even was even part of a droid team in an arc of the clone wars as a soldier. So, it is entirely possible as a unit to be trusted; R2 was most likely instructed by Obi Wan and Yoda to not say anything to Luke or Leia if he ever did encounter Anakin/Vader again until the time was right. R2 did work alongside the likes of Yoda so he knew when a request by a Jedi master involving something important, they had a reason. And to add further context; when Yoda went to go learn additional training at the end of the clone wars R2 was present when Yoda was given foresight on possible events. Which is why I also believe why as a reason he gave up so easily against Palpatine in the rise of the Sith. Yoda knew something was coming true and he felt he had to let it play out whether he liked it or not.

    In his only scene with Threepio, Vader literally stops Boba Fett from shooting the wookiee with his creation on its back, "don't shoot my droid!"
    Not mentioning a character is hardly a plot hole. I remember people like to bring that up with Qui-Gon. I'm like "the whole point of that youngling class in Attack of the Clones was so audience would know that Yoda trains younglings, which Obi-Wan was once one." They say "why wasn't he mentioned in the original trilogy then!" Then I'm like "what is he supposed to say, you will go learn from my kindergarten teacher, but you should know about my college professor that passed away and you can't benefit from this knowledge in any way" lol 🤪

    I never had a problem with Vader never recognizing C-3P0 for the sole reason that the 3P0 protocol droid model was a mass produced, commercial model of protocol droid. The one that young Anakin built was simply one assembled of scavenged and substituted parts, rather than purchased new. Over the years, as finances became more available, C-3P0 got upgrades, including a full chassis that made him look more commercially mass produced. One of the most common customizations for 3P0 units was getting their chassis painted silver, gold, brass, and other fine, polished metal sheens. A gold-plated 3P0 unit- especially with a chrome leg replacement- simply would not stand out, and since droids are inorganic, would not generate any Force signature that would make one stand out more than the other, especially with parts that have been replaced with new and different ones, from other places over the years.

    There is a more structural problem that is responsible for many of these issues. It seems that in 1977 George Lucas imagine the Jedi as a couple dozen swordsmen living in a monastery somewhere, with some secretive powers like mental suggestion or short range telekinesis. But then later he decided that they were 20,000 space wizards with incredibly interesting and militarily destabilizing abilities, leading troops in a major war all over the galaxy and playing a pivotal role in galactic politics.

However when it comes to doing crazy maneuvers she was pulling off, two people are needed. Go watch the Originals, whenever the Falcon is flying like that, two people are at the helm.
