So I actually forgot to list the concepts that I liked (Not necessarily the execution, but the concepts):
- Yoda meets Chewbacca without causing continuity holes
- C3P0 belongs to both Annikin and Luke without continuity holes (But the memory wip is a 'cheap' device)
- The reason behind Annikin becoming mostly robotic
- 'Annikin, I am your father' from Palpatine. (The story about being able to create life from nothing, and how Palpatine was taught that from Tyranous). Nice mirror to Ep 5 (?) and makes for a nice family tree :P . Tidies up the 'virgin birth' issue from Ep 1.
I don't get how R2D2 didn't need a memory wipe... since he can communicate with C3P0 et al. Wouldn't he have told Luke about history?
