and later got upgraded when he went off with the others.
He got gold-plated during the Clone Wars. The worst moment in the whole Clone Wars cartoon....
But now that I think of it, Anakin saw him after that....
But, as is shown in the opening scene of Episode IV, there are lots of protocol droids who look exactly like 3PO. Why would Vader assume this one was the same one he owned? After all, what are the odds? It's not a continuity error at all. It's just pandering to the original trilogy audiences for no reason again.

And don't we all wish we could see the Empire's Snap-On Tools pinup calendar.
Tommyrot, that's the first thing I thought of, too. However, one suspects that Obi-Wan did own R4, the droid he was working with in Ep III, so it's really very lame. At the moment, I favour the idea that at that stage he's still half in his 'Old Ben' character and feigning ignorance, which is I admit only slightly better.
So, if Mal is most like Han, (shoots first), who's Chewbacca?
Hmmm. Zoe kicks ass and has lots of hair, but I wouldn't say it's an exact correspondence.
I'm hesitating between Jayne (fighting style) and Kaylee (helpful in engineering work).
Chewie seemed to me to be a moderating force on Han, so I'm going with Kaylee.
I figured that Jedi don't really "own" much stuff, like the ships they fly or their droids. Being all ascetic and what-not....
Wookiees tear people's arms off when they lose games. Jayne. Obi-Wan is Shepherd Book.
So Simon and River are Luke and Leia? I guess one person's hodgeberries are another one's smooches.
