Just how many Jedi are there?

Well, I would guess there simply has to be an hereditary concept to the Jedi.

After all, Luke and Leia had it, and it seems to have been implied that they gained it from Anakin.

In the EU, all three Solo children have it because Leia was there monther. Also, Corran Horn came from a line of Jedi and they all had the distinction of not being able to master telekinesis.

What I would say is that I don't believe the strength of force ability in the parent has a direct reflection on the strength of force ability of the child.

But that's all post-Jedi Council. It is still not clear if Jedi can marry. It might be part of the conflict with Anakin when he wants to marry Padme.
So sure, Force sensitivity is hereditary, but that might be the very reason why Jedi can't marry. Too much inbred Jedi.

Welllll, maybe the all come from the deep south of Coruscant!!!!

Yes? So? I don't get it.

In breeding, oh forget it. Ask Dim to explain it to you.

Oh okay. Now I get it. Sorry about that.

So back on topic, my young apprentice. 😂

See, that's the thing, I have seen the light and left your evil grip within the GDF. With my passing I became more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

See, that's what happens when a Jedi master dies, proving that he can still be melodramatic and STAY ON TOPIC!

Well, it's just that I have certain principles. You have to have some to be a good Sith Lord you know. 😂
Not many of them, but I do have them.

I suppose. Anyway, DREAGGING BACK ON TOPIC!!!

10,000 and that's my final bid!!!

Taken.

Now close this thread. 😂

If it as anything like as hereditary as Anakin's kids indicate, there would be BUCKET loads more than 10,000! I think we can assume that Anakin's line is a one-off.

And I like my thread.

10,000 seems about right since GL has shown us so little of the galaxy.

OK, Ush, we can continue if you like?

So what do you think about a "no-marriage" clause or Jedi?

Is there any real indication in your storyboards 🙄 that GL is going to actually use that?

Do I detect a slight notion of cynicism there? Hmmmm?

Me? cynical?..who'd have thought...😂

What real indication do we have that it's actually going to show up?..the no-marriage clause, that is.

What's the justifaction for the no marriage clause meant to be? It strikes me that Jedi would make better siblings than many...

In any case, Dark Side risk aside, the Jedi don't actually seem to enforce their code.

Say, how do people even get married in the Star Wars universe, there's no preacher...

Maybe a Jedi woudl do it or an official.

OK, so what inidcation do we have: simple. The idea of Jedi is clearly inspired by monks from either the east or the west. Shaolin Monks have been mentioned for instance. They don't marry, Anakin marrying Padme might be partly causing Anakin's fall and furthermore, there's that line from ROTJ: "The Emperor knew, as I did, that if Anakin were to have any offspring they would be a threat to him." Now it doesn't say that much, but IMHO it might indicate two things. One is that Palpy tried to prevent Anakin from getting married, OR.... that marriage was "not done" with Jedi. "If Anakin were to have...", sounds like it's rather unusual to have offspring for Jedi.

I realise the indications are slim, but there are some.

Ok, fair enough, though GL always takes in a more 'enlightened' version of his sources, so I'd be surprised if Jedi would be nasty enough to prevent marriage (and as I say, it wouldn';t be enforced)

And clealry I meant spouse rather than sibling in my earlier post.
