Nofate is correct. that is why Obiwan is so suspicious when look says that that little R2 unit was his and was looking for him. R2 knows everything. Now, why would R2 not tell luke during those loooong Xwing ries to Taatooine and Dagobah? R2 always would beep and ask if lukw wanted him to fly. R2 is a robot with coplicated CPU's and wires. Why, if R2 did not get memory wipe, does he not tell(beep) to Luke skywalker that he use to fly with his father back in the Nam days(prequels)? R2 must register that Luke SKYWALKER is related to Anakin SKYWALKER. OMG...we found a loop hole in the writting. Besides I never liked the thought that C3PO was created by Anikin(young).
