Agree with everything GB just said. He's also just reminded me of something:

we didn't really have the droids throughout the whole movie

What the hell were R2D2 and C2PO doing in the first film? Don't you think they might have mentioned the fact that they were *built* by Vader at some point in the Last 3? Or if they didn't know Vader=Anakin, they might have at least commented on the fact that their original owner was a skywalker like Luke?
It seems clear to me that when epsIV-VI were made, the droids were not intended to be part of eps I-III. However they were desperately crowbarred into the plot at the Last minute for cynical Hollywood reasons. What, did GL think we couldn't handle a Star Wars film without any familiar characters?
Just another example (like Jar Jar) of GL underestimating and so patronising his audience.
