One little thing I just thought of...

In L'sPT, we're supposed to believe that Jedi don't get married or have kids. I never really cared for this, and my concept of the prequels doesn't include this... (I'm sure that a lot of Jedi would refrain from having family because of the nature of their work (like some members of the military)) Anyways, we're also supposed to understand that ability to use the force is genetic (at least to some degree). The talk of the midiclorians seems to strengthen that argument.

But then, the Jedi don't have kids.

Is anyone else seeing a problem with this? It's like they're purposefully trying to limit their numbers....

How about that as part of the rift in the Jedi order? Perhaps there are those who are "ordained" who believe in pure asceticism, others who want to operate outside the order, but who are Jedi -- but marry, have children, or train other Jedi without authorization, and then those who truly want to go over to the dark side... Could make for some interesting subplots.
