Great news! This little rover just keeps going and going, just like the Energizer bunny.

They made the sudden discovery that, like R2D2, the rover has the heretofore unsuspected ability to fly.

What I'd like to know is how C3PO and R2 could make multiple visits to Tattooine, yet, they don't remember it, nor, does Uncle Owen remember either one of them, in A New Hope.

C3P0 has his memory erased. R2 either seems to remember where Obi Wan lives, or is dumb enough to go trekking off into the desert to find him.
I think the martians got bored with watching the rover stuck and gave a helping hand.

"Great news! This little rover just keeps going and going, just like the Energizer bunny." Great. These rovers have already exceeded expectations by 5X.

I guess Uncle Owen forgot about the 'droids, in favor of becoming a crotchety old fart.

project manager Jim Erickson said. "I'd like to wear it out rather than lose it." OK, he was talking about the Opportunity ROVER...

I think Bubba said the same thing, to the urologist.

I dunno... of course, I'd like to know why the unmasked Anakin/Vader looks like a 65 year-old man in Jedi, when he'd only be in his early 40's.
Or why Chewie doesn't seem to object Han's constant attacks on the Jedi and their religion when he so closely worked with them in the past.

I think they mention something about wiping 3PO's memory in ROTS. However, Obi-wan says he doesn't remember owning a droid like R2D2. Lucas didn't really care about continuity in the series, it was all about the cash. Don't be suprised to see the final trilogy, no matter how much he denies it.
