Super Freak
The fact that Obi-Wan never even realized that that droid was r2d2 always irritated me. You would think one of the wisest, most powerful jedi, would have the memory to remember a machine that has saved their lives numerous times. In fact, as open-minded and culturally aware as he is (as far as knowing other languages, being on good terms with different species) you would think he would be a bit more favorable to a droid who CLEARLY is not just a machine.
Also always got me mad that Vader never recognized Threepio. He built the damn thing.
Goes deeper than that. Nobody on the Death Star realized a Stormtrooper was almost a foot shorter than he should've been in Star Wars? Despite being the center of attention escorting a Wookie? Luke's extremely fast training on Dagobah in Empire where Yoda tells him his training is not complete (and when he returns in Jedi, Yoda tells him his training is completed ). And overall, the fact that Stormtroopers wear armor that not only inhibits vision and movement, but doesn't protect them from blasters or itty bitty pebbles flung by Ewoks.
Fact is, finding redundant ____ to whine about in the Clone Wars series, but being an apologist for redundant ____ in the films is silly.
