Threepio's memory was wiped at the end of ROTS-it's pretty much the last few lines of dialogue in the PT.

There was stuff in TPM that I liked. My issue with Anakin- Messiah is that it fell apart inevitably due to where the story had to go. For me, the m-word detracts from the whole mystical feeling.
As to the Threepio and R2 being at the Wedding and such, well, I know this is probably worse blasphemy than some people think the prequels and the new movies combined are and I doubt this will ever happen but I'd almost like to just see a remake of all nine in order with it all planned out so we get consistency and payoffs for what is built up. But I'd just settle for a new series of nine novels that retell the story and do that.

I think they knew that would hit the fan worse than anything else they might have done. I mean, look at the insanity over the Special Editions which Lucas just used to improve the effects to something closer to what he envisioned.
There may one day be a remake but I doubt I'll still be around.
I saw an interview with Lucas where he talked about the prequels and how he was done with Star Wars and I can't blame him. Basically, he said, just look at the reaction. Nothing but whining, moaning, beyotching on a level childish beyond belief over something he created to begin with, put years and years of his life into even after he no longer needed the money because it was for the fans. When you don't need the money anymore and all you get is childish nonsense, why bother?
This is not to say there are not legitimate criticisms. But I can understand also why Disney might well ignore the criticisms of the new stuff. Not just that the critics overwhelmingly give good reviews but, far more importantly, the ticket sales and overall liking of the movies just does not reflect that the majority of movie goers share this hatred.

2008-2012 was a bit of a rough time for Lucas, despite Clone Wars the live-action TV show wasn't moving anywhere and the 3D Star Wars and Red Tales pretty much were DOA. Plus although ROTS brought some goodwill back to him, the lukewarm response to the Clone Wars pilot film,Crystal Skull and the Blu-ray changes (ruining, for instance, one of the most pivotal scene in the saga with more Vader "Noooos!") brought some fresh disapproval from the fans.
