Possibly referring to his podracing skills or the attack against the TF droid control ship. It's reaching, perhaps, but would explain it.
You can tell from their back and forth banter in eps 2 & 3 and the CW series that they were, in fact, good friends.
Ben made it up. That's what you do when you don't want someone to know the truth.
Baby's are, technically, very young; true although it is that they should have had Leia come out first in ROTS. And Padmé was very beautiful, kind and sad at the time of Leia's birth.
So not one of those quotes can be said to be untrue if you think about it. What else you got?
I honestly can't agree with any of this.
1. Pods (podracers?) are not starships. I wouldn't call Dale Earnhardt (that's a thing, right?) the best pilot in our Air Force.
2. Like I said, I can't speak for the Clone Wars, but I don't like to look outside of the films to inform what's on screen in the prequels - especially as the cartoon wasn't around when the films were released. In the prequels, there's no hint of real friendship or love between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Anakin was never likable, never a good friend, never charismatic. He simply went from whiney to worse, then turned to the dark side. Not much to redeem, from what I saw.
3. "Ben made it up?" Only because the prequels contradicted it instead of finding a way to make a very special gift from father to son work. Lazy, and still a contradiction even if you can twist the original film's meaning after the fact.
4. You gotta be punking me with the Padmé thing. You're saying that I should accept that a newborn infant grasped that her mother was beautiful, kind, and sad in the ten seconds they were alive together, and her premie memory is just off the charts higher than Luke's? This conversations was also really important. Luke, facing the prospects of almost certain death and still processing new information about his family's history and having gained a sister, approaches Leia with the hopes of learning something about his mother. His and her "real mother." Leia remembers more than him because she got to spend some time with the lady. Bail Organa should have been a bigger part of the prequels, and probably a competitor for Padme's affections. If she died during childbirth, Leia's answer would have been "I don't know. She died giving birth to me. I only remember my adoptive mother."
All of those quotes were contradicted, and it doesn't take much thinking. I think you mean "if you bend over backwards to excuse their choices and lie to yourself!" I don't have anything else because that's about all the OT ever said about the past. And yeah, they're each contradicted.
