10 Times Star Wars Broke Its Own Rules

10. Obi Wan Being Classed As R2-D2's Former Master

Let's face it, Obi Wan Kenobi doesn't have what you'd class as the most reliable memory in the galaxy by the time we meet the Jedi Master in A New Hope.

On top of randomly deciding to refer to his one-time apprentice as simply "Darth" mid-battle, Ben also has no recollection of ever meeting R2-D2 or C-3PO; or even having ever owned a droid either. You have to feel bad for poor R4-P17, don't you?

However, the fact that R2-D2 claimed to be the property of the wise old space wizard at all in Episode IV doesn't really add up. In short, he never was.

Throughout the prequels and Clone Wars animated series we see that R2 was pretty much joined at the hip with Anakin Skywalker, also making Darth Vader's attempts to blast the astromech to smithereens at the end of the movie that little bit more disheartening.

Sure, R2 may have just said this to Luke to get himself in front of his former ally to successfully deliver Leia's message, but it seems like a bit of a hopeful plan considering he wasn't to know whether he was even on Tattoine at that point.
