he sould have said: "your father would have wanted you to have this."
Yeah, but that's really a case of "coulda, shoulda, woulda- didn't". He said what he said. Sure, you can jump on him and scream "Liar!" but you don't have to. It only works that way if your premise is something like "All dialogue in all movies must be consistently related to every other piece of dialogue, and there can never be an inference to some dialogue that may be spoken offscreen. All viewers must be able to view the film/book from the omniscient point of view".
But, if that's your premise- good luck in finding ANY work of fiction that is satisfactory.

Who says he didn't? There was no thought bubble that popped over Ben's head saying "I don't remember r2-d2".

to all gushers... a big fat flamage to ye all...
Personally, I wouldn't think I was a gusher. I have problems with all of the films. But they are so small and trivial that they're easily over-looked. It's not an easy task to write something as big as these stories without inadvertant inconsistencies. But, at the same time, a reader/viewer with any imagination can come up with his own creative interpretations of these things.

you should not have to make excuses for this shit
Yeah, but I agree. No one should have to make excuses for this shit...
...because no one should be nit-picking to these degrees for excuses (read- imaginative interpretations) to be needed.

the fact of the matter is... and i want you to all reapeat after me...
George Lucas does not care anymore about story telling, this franchise, or us. He knows the name alone will make the money he wants! he doesn't care enough to make things consistent with the Originals (even though that is the only prerequisit of making a prequel), and he is not double checking anything, because he knows his legions of fanboys will not care about major details, because they are too esily distracted by flashing lights and exploding things to care about dialogue and story.
Well, that's really just some kind of caustic soap-boxing of baseless opinion. Come on.

SO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!
this lightsabre error bites the bbig one, and you all know it...
underneath all that visuall sugary icing!!!
YOU TOTALLY KNOW IT!!!
But it's only an error in your mind. It's only an error if your premise is sound. But fiction doesn't require that nothing can ever be left unexplained, and that anything left unexplained must necessarily be an error.
