Bingowings is an ignorant twat.
Well this is no way to discuss things on a forum.
I've been addressing his questions but he's chosen to ignore me rather than debate his point. So to me, he's ignorant. And I feel my point is valid. So he's a twat as well.
You haven't really been addressing what I've been writing you are saying the force is mystical and more akin to magic therefore discussing it in genetic terms is nonsense.
After the first two episodes I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you.
Going back to my first post on this train of thought I said Jedi is where the rot set in and I expanded on why I thought this and I didn't call you a vagina.
I'll have you know I'm an over qualified twat :-D
It is relevant to the conversation because in ROTJ the Skywalker family are claimed to be 'strong in the Force'.
In lieu of some magic spell or curse the only thing that connects Luke, Leia and Vader/Anakin alone is their blood relationship, their genes.
Not a nurture relationship, no environmental factors, no unusual diet they don't even like their dad (Leia doesn't even know he is her dad until very close to the end of the last film).
It's a very light jog between that and having microscopic lifeforms in your body.
King Arthur is King Arthur because of the blood of his father yes but that's because authority is passed through his family not any particular abilities (other than his athletic potential).
King Arthur is good at swinging a sword because he was squire to his step-brother and trained by his step-father (both trained knights).
Fantasy is fantasy but it still has to stay true to it's own rules.
On another thread the problems with the Han rescue plan in ROTJ were discussed. You wouldn't say, it's a fantasy so it doesn't matter if that part of the plot doesn't make sense so why shouldn't other aspects of the story be held to the same standards?
