This actually makes me rethink George Lucas as being brilliant rather than stupid. It's also re-written the entire Star Wars saga in my mind for the remainder of my life.
Here's my question: how did Luke end up stuck slogging in the desert with his grouchy uncle while his twin sister got to grow up a princess on a beautiful world?
Obviously, Obi-wan went easier on the boy.

I seriously doubt Lucas actually intended any of this. Rather, having R2-D2, C3-PO and Chewie all over the prequels was mostly fan-service, and this is an elaborate retcon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity ).

I know. It's no fair that Luke got a quiet, peaceful childhood, spending all his time tinkering with his Land Speeder, shooting swamp rats, and daydreaming about adventuring through the Galaxy, while his sister had to grow up in a stifling, controlling, political environment where her every word, action, and appearance were constantly monitored giving her very little freedom or privacy.

Leia specifically says "I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit." So, the interpretation of R2-D2's role at the beginning seems spurious.
This theme is/was meant to come in part VII-IX.
I read this on Slashdot.
At the end of VI the death star is destroyed, but whoever can take control of the storm troopers on the remaining imperial starships is a force to be reckoned with.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

This has to be one of the best exchanges I have ever seen. I don't think I have laughed that hard in quite a long time.
