I agree with that.
Texas all I was saying was that R2 was a hero in TPM, just like he was in the OT.

By far the biggest change is that 3P0 and R2 lost their narrator/ordinary being status of the original films (based on the peasants from Kurasawa's The Hidden Fortress who follow the dead hard samurai guy around); this time around they are a fully integrated part of the plot.

And Jar Jar was given the role of the peasants in TPM. I think it will switch for the next two Episodes though. Maybe Jar Jar the Senator will become more important to the plot while the droids go back to their old job.

I think that c3p0 will have a memory wipe by the end of Episode III, thus that's why he can't remember who his maker is.

That was always accepted as the true, otherwise Threepio would have reconised Tatooine by a long shot

No, otherwise R2 would reconise Tatooine, remember: he was there also in TPM

GL has referred to this matter as 'unimportant', though it is unclear whether he was directly dismissing the apparent anomaly or not. Whether we will see why the droids appear so ignorant is yet to be seen.
R2 could well have recognised Tatooine and just not mentioned it. That both those droids are capable of lying is well established.

Do droids forget? Even if they forget like humans, forgetting where you were created is a tad extreme.

Ah. Well, in that case, you are entering a mind that cares far less about little details like that than mad fans like US do...

there is nothing to suggest that r2 has had his memory erased, if anything when he lands on tatooine it is though he has been there been before, remember the way in which he and 3po seperated, r2 seemed to have a much clearer idea about where to go, secondly it would seem unlikely that droids forget, he remembered ob1 afterall.

R2 COULD have just been told where to go; Leia presumably knew where to find Ben (in turn, Bail Organa probably told her).
But in general, who knows? Memory erasure is the common fan thing but maybe this will be forever unexplained.

The memory wipe is another one of those points that make me wonder what the heck these droids are doing in the PT. If this really happens they are ONLY eye candy and merchandise potential. GL better make this work.
And indeed the droids were the 'peasants' in the OT. If they are an integral part of the PT, I don't know. Not too fancy what I've seen so far. Just excuses to show them droids.

You're the only SW fan I know who doesn't want the droids in the PT. It wouldn't be Star Wars without them.
I still don't think R2 has his memory erased. It would be really good if he knew everything that went on in the PT.

GL always said that SW was viewed by the droids, so they had to be in the new trilogy

That qould only work if the Prequel story WAS viewed by the droids; to judge from TPM it won't be. They really aren't playing the same part they were.
