It's as if he never saw that droid before.
He was lying
a lot of droids all look the same
something something he thought it was just the same model or something
Because the prequels aren't canon.
>>220487376I mean it's not exactly inconceivable that he'd not remember the exact droid of one of the more common models of astromechs. More baffling is that he has forgotten his foremer apprentice's padawan. Who was a good friend.
The prequels aren't in my headcanon and never will be. Seethe prequeltrannies
>>220487376Wait a minute...How did R2 remember Ben? Didn't they wipe his memory in all this time?
>>220487479C3PO was the one who got the memory wiped at the end of Episode 3.
>>220487479According to the most recent pre-Disney canon, R2D2 avoided ever having his memory wiped.
Obi Wan cracked some joke about R2 having frayed wires in Revenge of the Sith, I don't think they really got along. Was R2 a Sith Droid the entire time? Did he subtly influence Anakin towards Palpatine? Do I care?
>>220487417The mass produce droids?!?
>>220487462Can you think of any other reason he wouldn't tell luke about his various dead friends?
>>220487376>"I don't remember owning a droid"He never owned R2. He is being coy since R2 doesn't belong to him. The droids were lying.
R2 has hours of holofootage of Ahsoka masturbating, stored deep in his memory banks.
>>220487376He wiped R2-D2’s memory dumbass
>>220487656He could've brought it up when Luke was asking about his dad.
>>220487681Hence my theory that R2 is actually evil. He came from the same planet as Darth Jar Jar and Palpatine, I mean, come on.
Fun fact: some Spanish speaking countries call him Arturito because that's what r2d2 sounds like
>>220487376From a certain point of view, he never saw it before
>>220487376Lucas never intended for him to have known R2 and 3PO prior to A New Hope.He shoved them into Phantom Menace as fanservice and because he on some level realized Jar Jar wasn't going to be the key to all this.
>>220487766No. It makes sense for R2 to be interacting with Ben in the prequels since that's specifically mentioned in that line about old Ben owning a droid.C3PO is the real fan service.
space dementia
>>220487376He was playing it cool.
>>220487376The prequels create a shit ton of continuity issues and plot holes all tor the sake of nostalgia pandering. R2 nor C3PO had to appear in the prequels.
