What the heck is OB1 thinking?

thanks ush, i had never understood the whol MC thing until then. i never liked the idea anyways. so really then, if MCs dont create the force, whats the point of them? i dont buy into all that "listening to the will of the force" crap. yoda and mace didnt, so i dont. that aside, i think its possible as ush said, that palpatine could have just engineered anakin to be very force sensitive. EVERY natural-born trait a person has in a result of genetics. you can genetically engineer any natural born trait. i thought about the problem of tons of force sensitive people walking around, but that was easily enough solved: genetic engineering is a fairly new technology. i mean, cloning was around in the sw universe, but there werent 100000000s of clones running around doing all sorts of manual labor.

my whole point is that theres alot more to an anakins parentage than meets the eye. we really have only two viable choices. either the explaination in TPM stands and anakin was conceived by the midi-chlorians, or he wasnt. and since he has no real father (unless shmi was lying and his father was some space pirate or something) he must be an artificial creation. who else would artificially create anakin but palpatine. its a radical idea, but it makes sense.

sorry, but I don't like the theory.

Why are Jedis not cloning like crazy then? not because it's a new technology (you can't start from scratch and do it succesfully in less then 10 years)
But because it's just impossible to be force sensative sith it

the jedi probably never thought of genetically enginneering more jedi. if they did, it probably goes against there code somehow. and it is just a movie after all. only bad guys think of dastardly things to do. :-)

212, actually, it looks more complex than it is. I only have to describe it in detail because a lot of people have the wrong end of the stick. The idea that the MCs are a lifeform that live in balance is very simple. All I mainly did is repeat some basic biology.

So then, the point of the MCs? That's not 100% clear, but what is clear is that a. GL likes symbiosis and b. he wanted a way in which the will of the Force could be heard.

I don't remember Windu and Yoda denying the idea of MCs in any way. Why would they know Yoda's MC count if it wasn't the accepted theory?

However, Qui-Gon was a very impulsive person and presumably listened to the Force (as said by the MC's) far more than others.

Well, I still think the explnation in TPM will stand.

Here's my 2 cents.... I do not believe that Anakin was cloned.
Anakin's parentage may be a mystery, but I don't think that palpy had anything to do with it. I believe he's more of the opportunistic type 🙂

no one has said anakin was cloned. the term is genetically engineered.

and about the MC's, on the official website it says that qui-gon was rogue because he BELEIVED in the "living force," whereas every other jedi, including mace and yoda, beleived in the unifying force. to me this means that yoda and mace dont deny the existence of midichlorians, but they didnt beleive them to be "alive" in the sense of having sentience (spelling) and having the ability to tell jedi the will of the force. to the best of my understanding, qui-gon is the only jedi who beleives one can listen to the will of the force.

It's all a bit speculative really. Espedcially that unifying Force vs. Livin force stuff. That started out as a fan rumour; I was so surprised when the official thread mentioned it that I actually started a thread about it, a few pages back.

if we start treathing SW as movies for KIDS and then try again with the theorys, only a great deal less copmplex

no not the unifying- living thing again!

Look, my 'theory' is just basic biology combined with what is explained in the film. The over-complication came from people reading FAR too much into the midi-chlorians.

to read more about midi-chlorians, visit the tread at the EPI, EPIV-VI thread...

and heck the force is the force

Thanks for clearing that up for us 🙂

and I started that thread!

have you checked it now?

maybe...maybe not

then life forever in ignorance!

Oh dear me....what shall we do with ingorance?
