there is no father...

Maybe Dooku owned Shmi before Gardulla.

Okay...Lee being Anakin's dad could be interesting...I'll give you that.

A bit forced, but somehow I could buy that story. I wouldn't like it very much, but if Anakin has a dad, midi-chlorian-wise he should have some kind of Jedi father.

That is weird isn't it? Where do all these Force sensitive kids come from? It seems Jedi are celibate although that is not confirmed. If they are not, they might have their own breeding centres.

It is funny when you think about Star Wars characters doing regular day-to-day things like we would would in the real world. Like the topic about whether Darth Vader shaves or not.
Do Jedi Knights look at pornography now and then? Do they watch TV sitcoms in their spare time? Do they play on computer games? Do they go on the internet and make posts on forums about incoming movies?
All these things are things that characters from the Star Wars universe might do, but we will never find out, so Queeq, I don't think we'll ever come across any breeding centres. 😂

Like Qui-Gon said,"It's a hard life."

It's liki imagining the Queen on the toilet, you just can't picture it... 😂

Haha.

But that didn't really answer my question. Where do Force sensitive kids come from if midi's are genetically tranferred onto the next generation? That means either their parents are Jedi (remember Qui-Gon saying that if Anakin had been born under the republice they would have found him at an early age) or their parents where undetected Force sensitive people as well. It didn't really have anything to do with what they do in daily life, but it has to do where padawans conme from (and spare me the birds and bees story)

I think we kinda did this to death already, not repremand intended. 😉 The "Force Gene" for want of a better description could be rare and require just the right match up to actually produce a Force child.

Bit of biology, though it's been a few years. This is a very simplified model so none of you Biology grads pick me up on it OK.

Mum has brown hear, her "Hair Gene" contains 1 brown and 1 red
Daddy has blond hair, his "Hair Gene" contains 1 blonde and 1 red
Red is the least dominant gene and requires two to make a red headed child therefore the chance of a red headed child are about 1 in 4.

The equation is a lot more complicated than this but you get the idea. This could then be translated to force children.

Another example, there was an afro-american couple in the 1980's who had a white child and it was discovered that a few generatons back in both family lines then had been a white spouse on each side and the genes had carried through being regressive until the couple met and had a child who by chance managed to inherit a large proportion of the genes.

OK, I get that. Thanks for the reprimand.

But still, a Jedi or very Force sensitive person must have reproduced somehow. And a lot of them too. Ten thousand active Jedi at the time of TPM. But then again, the universe is a big place.

WHAT BLOODY REPRIMAND. ??? 🙂

Are Jedi Celebate?

I guess if they're not married they'd have to be. Well in the book according to Saint EJ anyway. 😂

I think Jedi must have relationships. They're not monks or nuns are they. We've really seen so little of the Jedi still that it's very hard to make any assumptions about the way they live their lives.

OOPS, another reprimand by RC. Sorry, massa.

Well, exactly right. We don't know much about their relationships, that's why it's fun to speculate about it. Will Anakin get in trouble because of his desire to marry Padme?

<Ratcat pulls out a large stick and proceeds to beat queeg to death with it>

I think the must do, though I'm still uncertain as to how the Jedi structure works I think that the way it's been portrayed in the EU with Jedi Knights living on their how planets once they have been trained.

<Wipes blood from stick and wanders away whistling to himslef>

Thank you sir, may I have another.

What a violent place this is...

So there might be breeding centres after all... *limps away in hurry picking up one of his eyes that fell out after RC beat him*

Uuuugghh, I'm off to die somewhere...in peace...

Hey Ratcat, did you know that there was once a black couple who had twins and one was black and the other white. The white one was racist towards the black one later in life.

Anyway, about this Jedi sex thing. I reckon that Jedi are certainly allowed to have sex during free time, but not during missions and I don't think they need to be married. Sex is just sex. Even Jedi shouldn't have to stick by rules where you can only have it under certain circumstances.

That maybe the family I was talking about. I was only remembering something I heard a few years back.

So the Jedi and kinda militaristic in that regard. No sex on duty???

Yeah I guess thats the only time when it would be disrespectful. But anytime else is fine. Well I reckon so anyway. Of course I could be totally wrong and Jedi never ever have sex.

Actually, I'd have to disagree. Could you imagine Ewan McGreggor agreeing never to have sex again!?!?!? The mans a sex mad perve!!! 😂

What do you mean "never to have sex... AGAIN"? When did he have sex if Jedi are not supposed to have any. He was a 25-year old padawan when we first met him.

queeq out

It's never said that Jedi are celebate...Plo Koon has a bunch of wives doesn't he?...end of story. As far as Ewan goes...I'm hard pressed to think of movies that he didn't get naked for..he seems to revel in that..

Dim got my point. Ewan McGreggor is such a complete pervert it's untrue.

He's famous for getting his kit off. There was an ongoing joke during EpI filming that he was trying to get GL to put in a scene where OB1 runs naked across the screen.

He also enjoys his sex life very much, according to a recent UK TV appearance where he discussed it at great length.
