Sorry if this has been discussed before, but something struck me last night while watching ESB...
Now aparently R2 doesn't have a mind wipe in ROTS unlike 3PO. So my thought is...
With R2 being such a major character... (GL said the saga is seen through the eyes of the 2 droids - just like an old Jap film he liked - with two servants!), then why doesn't he recognise Yoda in ESB?. Surely he must have bumped into Yoda at somepoint (maybe when he is on the Tantive iv in ROTS). Does anyone else think this seems a bit odd or is it just me?.
Please discuss not flame or close...
Peace...

It did seem like Yoda and r2 knew each other. They were like joking around and teasing each other like when yoda started rumaging around Luke's stuff. Maybe Luke was too dumb to notice.

i didnt really see that seen as joking around, i thought they were more or less fighting, but that is true, as smart as R2 seems sometimes you think he would remember yoda, but then again, maybe he was told to act like he didnt know him should they ever meet again.
Yoda and R2 never met. I don't think Yoda was at Naboo. R2 mentions OB1, in ANH, so maybe someone would know where to find him. I think the question should be is did the Rebublic know that OB1 was on Tat.? Or was it by chance that they were near the planet when they were boarded. Or were they going to the planet to get OB1.
OB1 dealt more with R4 so he may not have remembered R2.
obi-wan says come here my little friend.....he only says he can't remember OWNING a droid.....and saying "can't remember" is a really handy way to lie anyway....by republic do you mean the empire or the rebellion?.....
and a bit more on topic, check where r2 hangs out in phantom menace....yoda don't hang in no servants quarters....
Yoda was on Naboo. He declared Obi-Wan a Jedi Knight in a room at the palace. He attended Qui-Gon's Funeral (as did R2-D2) and he was at the parade standing with Mace & 2 other council members, though they were nowhere near R2. You never actually see a wide shot to know where they are standing. Just a close-up pan down on the 4 of them. You never see them in any other shots. But I don't point this out to prove that Yoda knows R2. I don't think people care too much about any droids other than ones they own, so I don't think that Yoda would recognize R2-D2 unless they end up having some major interaction in Ep3.

And I may be brain dead but when did her meet Yoda in the 1st two movies?
) then he would see Yoda, and that's probably enough for him to notice and remember him.
