Why has no-one noticed this before?

Warning: Star Wars discussion ahead. other commentary to follow at the end for those of you who hate this sort of thing.

"Why has no-one noticed WHAT before?", you ask. A freaking massive plot hole in Star Wars is what. Now then, I should mention again that I'm not that much of a Star Wars geek; the only reason I'm writing about this is because some friends came over and really wanted to see Ep IV.

C-3PO had never been to Tatooine. At least, not that he remembered. No recollection of his former master, Owen Lars, or the name Skywalker, or the house he'd lived in before, or any such thing. That could easily be explained: droids frequently have their memory erased. But why would Lars have forgotten him? And more importantly, wouldn't Obi-Wan have remembered them? If not R2-D2, then certainly the two droids together. LUCAS GOT LAZY! Rrrr...

THE NON-STAR WARS BIT: I've decided that I really like Björk. I downloaded a couple of her songs, and they were really good. "Human Behaviour" is really funny, and anyone who can handle music that's not totally mainstream should investigate.

In other news, I can't believe it's already August. In less than a month, classes will be underway, and my existance will return to nonnormalcy. This shocks me. Where did the last year go? I was floating in a lazy river, so to speak, and suddenly, I'm shooting the rapids. I didn't want that to change! It's not like I can't handle activity; that's certainly not true. But I wanted to enjoy my time at college, and so much of it is gone now. I'm amazed. Within ten years, I'll be married, with kids and a real job, and bills to pay, etc. I'm not complaining; everyone has to do it, and I will love marriage and children probably more than anything I've yet experienced. And I'd love to have a real job. It's just that the change of pace scares me. Suddenly, my gradual entry into adulthood has sunk in.

Oops, I did it again. I started rambling. Forgive me. Please?
