Does R2 remember Anakin?

Because Anakin never wiped his memories, and Bail Organa didn't wipe it at the end of Revenge of the Sith, R2-D2 is the only character who remembers everything from the first six movies. He was also there for every major moment. While it might seem like a coincidence, it's not.

How did Owen not recognize C-3PO?

So Owen had no idea his "new" protocol droid's name was C-3PO. A counter to that might be asking why Owen didn't recognize C-3PO's distinct voice, but again, it's worth remembering Owen hadn't seen C-3PO in more than 20 years. It's possible Owen simply forgot what C-3PO's voice sounded like.

Why didn't Vader upgrade his suit?

This means that Vader has multiple suits. He just chooses not to change it, because doing so might remove Vader from his private cloister of brooding and meditation. This connection to the Dark Side, and not the physical armor he wears, makes Vader one of the most dangerous threats in the galaxy.

Why couldnt Vader sense Leia?

Leia was not using the Force or was currently Force-sensitive during her confrontation with Vader. She began training as a Jedi years later. All these reasons prove my point: Vader didn't know Leia was his daughter, and felt no presence of the Force in her, as she was not currently strong with the Force.
