Making Han Solo into an unwitting front for a Wookie mastermind is a lot like explaining how Carbon 14 would decay at a different rate before the great flood. It's better to just accept that there are holes in the story than to try to make everything fit together perfectly.

#25Here'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?
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. Obviously, Obi-wan went easier…

#26it's a shame that the misspelling of Tatooine in that article hasn't been corrected in 4+ years oh and Lucas isn't that clever.
While I don't really think Lucas is that clever, he did have plans for nine films, so I suppose it's possible.

#29Leia 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.

Agreed. In retrospective, seems like Force related skills do develop better in unstructured environments... Oh, I now see where I went wrong!!! ;>
