Biggest Plot Hole Left Unresolved

It annoys me to no end that George Lucas made absolutely NO ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER to show the beginning of Obi-Wan's friendship with Anakin... that's a pretty big friggin' piece of the damned story. There are perhaps two friendly exchanges between them in AOTC and the rest of the time its either Obi-Wan reprimanding Anakin for being a jerky lunatic or Anakin effeminately whining and bitching about Obi-Wan behind his back. How about explaining THAT plothole?
I'd also like to know why Uncle Owen* & Aunt Beru didn't have any kids - brothers and sisters - for Luke to play with and undergo growing pain scenarios while he was living on Tatioone. Was Owen impotent or did Beru have miscarriage(s)?
*In an earlier draft of "Return of the Jedi", the ghost of Obi-Wan - during his now very contradicted speech on Dagobah - was supposed to reveal that Owen Lars was in fact his brother.
Then there's this shot of the duel between Obi-Wan and Vader in ANH where Obi-Wan's lightsaber briefly takes on a thing, electrical twig look, but a few seconds later its back to normal. How does that work? (this also doubles as something Lucas never seems to fix in any of his "special editions")
What else is there... hmm... let's see... Paddy falling in love with Anakin the jerky lunatic... the incompetence of the Jedi Council... Jar Jar Binks existence... that crap with the midichlorians... virgin birth... Palpatine "seducing" Anakin to the Dark Side...
Nope, looks like we covered everything.

as for the droids. they get their memory wiped because anakin doesnt want them to accidently spill the goods on his secret marriage.
the force ghost thing will be explained to.
and if you say obi wan and anakin never had a friendship you shouldn't be watching movies.

Yeah... might have been simpler just not to let them see the marriage, but whatever. Now perhaps you could explain why Owen Lars doesn't remember Threepio in ANH, despite the fact that he was working on the Lars's farm in AotC? Did Owen get his memory wiped as well, or is it a case of premature senility?

Well, Anakin said that Obi-Wan was 'like a father to him', and that's true in the sense that their relationship resembled that of a bratty teenager and a harrassed father. But I'd hardly call that a 'friendship'.

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

Does it ever give us ANY character development on Palpatine/Sidious at all? The PT spent more time explaining Boba Fett's motivations than it has Palpatine's. Yes yes, repeat your mantra "It'll be in the third movie." That's going to be one hell of a long film if they answer every plot problem.
