Okay, someone just told me that apparently all known Skywalkers, except for Shmi, are Force-sensitive.
Umm… no.
Not possible.
Though this is entirely theoretic, I would assume that the chance of a normal family having a Force-sensitive child is about one or two in ten thousand.
In an established, known bloodline (aka the Skywalker dynasty, the Gallia and Allie families, or the Kenobi or Daemes families, in my imagination universe), it would likely be around one or two in a hundred.
If one parent was Force-sensitive, then the chances might be as high as twenty-five to fifty percent.
If both parents were, the chances are likely to be around fifty to seventy-five percent.
So, why are there all these Force-sensitive Skywalker kids?
I would assume that it’s due to the size of their families; they never have the fourth child who isn’t Force-sensitive.

Ah, come on, Erin, it was a good theory. And 1-2%? How d’you explain that out of the children of Jedi in the New Republic, *all* were Force-sensitive?
I’m guessing it was a time of renewal, like the summer after the beginning of the Fourth Age, in the Shire. Oh, and it’s all genetics and the size of their families; I haven’t yet heard of one Jedi family in post RotJ fiction that had more than what? Three children? Simply that they never had the last child who WASN’T Force-sensitive; like the family with all blue-eyed children (and brown-eyed parents) never had that other child who would’ve had brown eyes. It’s simple Mendellian genetics. 😉
Oh, whatever. I’m in no position to argue, not with the number of siblings I’ve got.
😛 Heehee. I have three.
Precisely my point. So… which of your family is the non-F-s one?
I think it’s my middle sister. The youngest is too annoying to be anything but. 😛
‘Kay.
I think mine are both too weird to be anything but – and so am I, I hope!
😛 Yeah…
silly q: would being narrowly missed by a blaster bolt make your ears ring like being n. m. by a bullet? (don’t worry, it’s not Obi-Wan – yet.)
I don’t know… it might… It would hurt, though, because I’d assume a blaster bolt going through air would super-heat it, making it expand and causing pressure changes. Your eardrums would probably ache for a while afterwards. Also, you’d feel the heat coming off it.
Poor Nas. *sigh*
Awww… Give her a hug for me. And I have (virtual) ibuprofen if she (or you) needs it.
Can’t. She’s running. She’s *extremely* worried about Obi-Wan. And “drugs cloud the Force”, remember? but thanks for the offer.
Okay. That’s crazy…
Yup. I had to damage him so they’ll be in different places for a while.
What? They *do*.
Ah… mmmm,,, No comment? 😛
