   Is "I knew your father" a reference to a cut scene that has been   
   re-inserted? THe only scene I can think of is the one in Obi Wan's   
   hut, which was included all along. I'm unsure as to what "cutscene"   
   this is about?   
      
   Or are you just using it as an example of a scene that lead to a   
   continuity problem later?
