Mares, if you were reading above you would have noticed that there is a long history in the authorized canon expanded universe of Clones with force powers.

The main dark Jedi in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy of books was a clone with his powers intact, and there is even a later storyline of the Emperor himself returning in a younger cloned body – with force powers.

Just sayin.

I don’t think he could be cloned. I mean, even i the memories were copied, his ability with the force wouldn’t have. Now, i he was cloned to develope faster (like the clones from Jango Fett) still, he wouldn’t be so old.

Great imagination, though.

By the way, I totally agree with the first post. It would have been really cool to watch Anakin on his trials, and the multiple times that he saves Obi-Wan (as mentioned on episode 3).

George Lucas also had origin stories that had the Wookies as the main threat in the galaxy and there was no luke or leia… Han and Luke were one in the same.

There were lots of “proposed” ideas Lucas had in his original 28 chapter long story. I am sure some of those could have potentially rolled over into the final 6 chapter product.

“I think that I first heard this theory about ten years ago. The person who told it to me speculated that the name Obi-wan could be from his clone’s serial number: OB-1.”

ding ding… we have a winner. your friend is simply recalling something from the deep recesses of memory or something. George Lucas gave backstories for the characters in ‘77 or ‘78 in which Ben Kenobi’s clone was named OB-1 (which is the character from the series. Also, Ben Kenobi was much older than OB-1 would have appeared in the movie. Wasn’t he a contemporary of Yoda?

“Excellent point Nick. I forgot about the accelerated life span. Let’s check the math.

In Ep1, Obi-Wan is 25
Ep2, 10yrs later, Obi-Wan is 35
Ep3, 3 yrs later, Obi-Wan is 38
Ep4, 19yrs later, Obi-Wan is 57

Clones are accelerated in their lifespan to age nearly double the rate on normal. At nearly double, a clone of Obi-Wan would be about 29yrs old in Ep4. 29-19 would make him 10 at Ep3. So if the time line of Ep2 were moved back to take place 10yrs prior to Ep3, then this theory might actually work out.”

Calvin and Nick, unless you forget Jango Fett had a certain clone made for himself, better known as Boba Fett, who was unaltered and grew at a normal rate so he could raise him as his own child.

in the anger-lashing out scene in ep2, you hear qui-gon yell out, “Anakin! No!!!”

Maybe kill off Obi-Wan’s instead

I think a better idea would have been this.

Anakin beheads the clone obi-wan and the emperor then initiates the plan to kill off the whole Jedi. Anakin tells Palpatine he killed Obi-wan, while the real obi-wan goes into hiding.

Either that, or we have a 40 minute sequence in which Hayden Christensen is tortured. “Ouououugh! Behold my facial expressions, I am now in pain!”

Oh, then just for fun someone chops his legs off. I think that sounds better.

But making the cold wrathful evil Vader into a whiny kid? That’s not impacting on a beloved character?

Just sayin.
