While I agree with your complaint Helena, if the OP wanted inconsistancies, and then whats posted arent inconsistancies, then they dont belong in the list, surely? You agreed with me on a couple of points earlier in the thread on this. Although I do think its interesting that every point that doesnt back you up, regardless of what it is, instantly becomes a "pathetic gusher excuse" or whatever phrase it was you used.
To keep in the spirit though, i'm going to white out all the points that I think arent inconsistancies, so that it'll be up to you to read them or not. Then to keep in the spirit, i'll add a few of mine at the end. Quite frankly, more than a few of them were reaching, but anyway...
ps I cant figure out how to use the text colour box. so if you dont want to read the next bit, you can just skip it.

9) Owen Lars doesn't recognise C-3P0 at all. (ANH)
I've always conceeded that this is an inconsistancy, although its partially forgiven when it seems that Lars is so eager to have their memories erased, esp. when talk of Anakin comes up. The fact that he clearly doesnt recognise 3PO (the voice at least, I know he didnt see him completed) on first contact sticks out.
QUOTE
11) Anakin being 'a great pilot' when Obi-Wan first met him (and no, there is absolutely no way you're going to convince me that 'pod-racer' is the same thing as 'pilot'). (RotJ)
Sadly though, TPM uses the verb "to pilot" to describe the act of flying a pod about, so while I understand your problem, its right there in the world.
QUOTE
12) Obi-Wan's claim that "When I first knew him... I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him." (RotJ) Actually, he hadn't even met Anakin when he did the 'Midichlorian test'. (TPM)
"First knew" is not the same as "first met".
QUOTE
13) Vader tells Luke that "Obi-Wan once thought as you do" (i.e. that he could be redeemed), but there's absolutely no evidence of that in RotS. (RotJ)
I really disagree with this one.
I'M IGNORING YOUR MIDICHORIANS COMMENT TO AVOID TOTAL THREAD DERAILMENT
QUOTE
16) Ditto the prophecy of a Chosen One who'll bring Balance to the Force.
They had quite clearly abandoned the idea of the prophecy after the disaster in RotS. Obi thinks Anakins kids might have a chance against the Emperor (knowing they'll be born Force users of course) but that has nothing to do with any prophecy.
Both Obi and Yoda believed they'd failed.
QUOTE
18) If the Empire has camo-colored armor for their troopers (since the Republic becomes the Empire), why didn't they use them on Endor?
Against the "insignificant" threat?
QUOTE
19) If the Republic stormtroopers can "see through" dust clouds and shoot accurately, as they appear to demonstrate in AOTC, why do they lose this ability under the Empire? (see R2D2's "smoke screen" on Bespin in ESB)?
??!!
QUOTE
20) Speed of movement, flipping ability, etc. of even "elder Jedi" (and Sith) in the Republic era, vs. relatively sluggish, slowed down movement and grounded nature of fighting in the post-Republic era.
Are you comparing
Mauls moves to
Vaders?!
QUOTE
23) etc.
He quite clearly knows. I dont see how this is a plot hole.
QUOTE
24) Why did they think it was a[code] good idea to "hide" Luke with his family on Tatooine, in the very house that Anakin had visited, on his home planet, and keep the surname of Skywalker? And Obi-Wan only changed his first name and hide close by, in his Jedi uniform?
Since everyone thought the twins were dead, no one would be looking, so it wouldnt have made any difference where they put him. You also seem to be under the strange impression that theres only one family in the whole universe with the surname "skywalker". also see number 27.
As for 30, this one goes on and on, but Anakin was able to retain the form of his "good" self (or however you want to put it) when he became a ghost. Thats why hes different to Obi and Yoda, who were with the light side till the end.

FINISH
1. What happened to the Force Run that Obi and Qui use in TPM? Its introduced at the start, then never reappears, even when it would obviously be most useful (although this might just be a PT only plot hole, Luke surely wouldnt be strong enough to use it anyway)
2. If they're supposed to be in hiding, and esp. hiding the fact that hes a Jedi, why does senile Obi whip out the lightsabre in the cantina?
anyway i'm sure theres lots more. sorry about the lack of white out thing.
