1. R2D2's memory wasn't wiped, how come he didn't say that Luke and Leia were twins (in ep. 4-5-6) ? (C3PO could have translated)
i asked that very question to someone who has read all the books and this was his answer:
Bail Organa ordered C-3PO's memory to be erased at the end of Episode III when he gives the droids to Captain Antilles.
Although R2's memory wasn't erased, he couldn't exactly talk to Luke. But, a lot of people confuse R2's characteristics with 3PO's. They see both droids as casual, innocent bystanders caught up in events all around them. Well, 3PO is, but R2 is very much aware of what's going on around him and what needs to be done.
He realizes, much as Yoda, Bail, and Obi-Wan do, that Luke and C-3PO are on a need to know basis. R2 is there to do his job and save everyone's ass in the process. He doesn't need to gossip to Luke or 3PO, mainly, because that's just not him.
Now I remember one of my other questions (after getting off the phone with a friend) ... What’s with Jabba the Hut? I noticed him listed in the credits but I never saw him in the film ... a cut scene perhaps?

He botched it because he thought of Anakin as a brother. He said he wouldn't kill Anakin to yoda before yoda told him he wasn't strong enough to take on Palpatine. He did what I guess he thought was enough to damage Anakin. I mean he cut off his legs and his arm. I guess Obi-Wan did what he deemed to be substantial bodily damage to Anakin.
Just imagine the scene when Yoda asks Obi-Wan if Anakin is dead and Obi-Wan says: "Oh ah... Anakin, right... Yes, the mission... Uhm... I think so... Well I suppose... Well Yes... But possibly... Uhm... Ok, I'm going to say 'yes'"
