While it is entirely possible that C3PO did indicate in one of the books that
he'd never had his memory wiped, you've got to remember that Lucas is not
bound by the books. Anyone that writes a Star Wars book is simply writing a
modification to Lucas' story... Lucas' writings take precendence over what
anyone else writes. Therefore if what Lucas writes seems contradictory to
what someone else has written, the contradiction is in fact on the part of the
other author, not Lucas... Even if the writings of the other author predate
those written by Lucas.
(reference to a seperate post): As for the midichlorians removing from the
mystacism of the Force, I disagree. The introduction of the midichlorians
doesn't offer an explanation of the Force, rather an explanation of how the
Jedi access the Force. While it does offer a more scientific way of measuring
one's Force ability (forcability?) it does not in any way make the Force
measurable. Midichlorians do not detract from the "spirituality" of the
story, rather they allow another way to say that one is "strong in the Force."

| (...) So if I want to juice up my Forcability, do I run to the doctor for a quick shot of midichlorians? Quantifying the accessibility of the Force in any way by definition strips it of some of its mysticism, much like saying that someone is more (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) What I remember is that 3P0 and R2 developed their "personality quirks" because they didn't get regular memory wipes. But anyway, if 3P0 *did* get a memory wipe...how would he know, unless someone told him? It's entirely possible for both to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| I think the midichlorians still do have a 'mysterious' quality to them. Remember in Episode I when Qui-Gon asked Shmi about Anakin's father, and she replied "There was no father...I carried him..." etc. Which means either the midichlorians (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
