Well, that's not really an inconsistency so much as not properly taking 
everything into account in the plot (though to be fair, IIRC, Vader had no clue 
that he even _had_ kids, so it's not like he would have gone looking in the first 
place). Regardless, I don't think that there's much question that those films 
could have been much better.
