A mess up in the continuity of Star Wars

Not sure if anyone here noticed it but I'd like to point out a change that Lucas made that breaks the continuity of the old films.
In episode 6 Luke asks Leia about her mom she said she died when I was very young and described her, in ROTS Padme dies giving birth making that scene make no sense, also in episode 4 Obi Wan says your mother seperated you but in ROTS she doesn't so that scene now doesn't make sense, did anyone else notice this or anyother continuity problems.

😂

Yes, everyone noticed, and overreacted.

You and the other 9938362 other threads that have pointed this out.

Our only hope is that Georgey boy will explain himself in an interview or fix it during the upcoming TV series, but nonetheless he screwed up.

over reacted what do you mean by that he should be able to keep his own story consistent

Like ken said, this was already discussed like 3514646516846654361268468715654 times. Search. The thread is out there hehehehehe

Yes he should have, but I am not going to let that get to me, or let it effect the way I enjoyed the movie. Some people acted as though it was the end of the world.

Yeah, he should have, there're a lot of plot holes. But Lucas didn't, it's been discussed, and there are several hundred threads on this already.

When in Episode IV did Obi-Wan say this?

And if you go back & read some of those threads, you'll find possible/probable explanations that don't really make it seem so bad after all. I don't think GL needs to expand on it any further anywhere.

ok maybe leais step mam died when she was young{the one bail organa took her to )

ob1 lied . he lied about a lot of things to luke ,. he was hardly going to say ''oh i brought you here [tataoine] to protect you from your da , oh by the way darth vader is your da '' #

done and done , . now i dont see any inconsistensies there

He meant RotJ when referencing Obi-Wan....

Then he screwed up even more than I thought in his post. Obi-Wan never said "mother" ever. Wrong episode and a misquote. It's bad enough this thread got started in the first place. At least put your thoughts together correctly before you post.

And, please, something also mentioned in the many other threads about this is that Luke specified "your real mother" so that Leia would know he wasn't asking about her adoptive mother.

You guys b!tch about stupid things like that... how about this continuity!!

Did someone at ILM forget to digitally-impose Ian McDiarmid's face on his Stunt DOUBLE!!?!?!?! I ****ing think so!!

Whoa.. that's bad... and he is holding a different lightsaber too...

This one is worse!!!

So fake.. lol, but your not watching it frame by frame, I never noticed those before..

He's holding Anakin's saber in virtually the entire fight. The scene originally had him force grab Anakin's saber & use it to fight the masters while Anakin looked on. GL changed things & the reshoots found them changing things to how they ended up. REad the Making Of book, the latest Homing Beacon email and watch the last Webdoc for more on this if you're interested.

Those still frames do look bad, but they did change them. Ian's stunt double looks even less like that than Ian himself. I'm sure they didn't put a ton of effort into frames that would move way too quick for anyone to see this strange face replacement.
