Quy-gong (sp? I've never read the books) asks Anakin's mother who the
father was and she says that there was no father. This happened in
episode 4 or chapter 1 or whatever.

Lucas can always change that scene in the movie. Maybe he has already?
Did he ever change the scene back where Hans shoots first and kills
the bounty hunter? I liked the first three movies, but the second
three were sort of duds.

There are a lot of contradictions. Like Obi-wan not just lying about
Lukes father, but about Yoda too. You can put it all together with
creato-logic and have your own literal version. It is all true if you
look at it in a certain way.

Sort of like Spock's vulcan logic. There was a guy over at ARN that
defended the IDiot wedgies claiming that they were only exaggerating
when they stretched the truth and not lying, even when they did it
repeatedly. Fictional logic to defend a fictional science, it sort of
fits. Just think what ID the Movie would be like? How can you have
fictional fiction? I guess you could call it fantasy, but even good
fantasy has to be consistent.
