lol ahh yes X chromosome not Z :S been quite a while since I was in biology. The Kaminoans (Cloners) on Kamino were able to rapidly grow clones into adults, except Boba who was left unaltered at Janga's request. I'm thinking they could realistically manipulate a clone anyway they saw fit. especially with how advanced technology and other sciences were in the movies. and my thinking was along the lines of they had some of anakin's dna stashed away for if/when the time came to replicate Anakin, but the emperor's death put it on ice for a long time. somewhere along the way between Jedi and TFA someone decided to green light it, but alter it (such as in the form of a woman) to throw people off the Darth Vader recognition. I'm sure if Anakin was just suddenly strutin around again people would have flipped out after all the years of terror he brought the galaxy - and keep it off the radar from the First Order. you saw how hell bent Kylo Ren became the moment he hears of her, like it becomes more of a priority then finding BB-8 again long shot guess, I just dont want her to be Lukes kid, or Kylo's brother, after Vader was revealed as Lukes father, you gotta one up yourself, and those 2 possibilities would be so predictable it would almost seem like a let down if it stayed that way. I like revelations that catch you off guard, adds more lasting impact to a film -
if that spoiler is correct, that bray wyatt injury totally screwed up what they were trying to do teaming Bray and Roman together just before it happened

Palpatine was one sly MoFo, guess i wouldnt be surprised by any of these possibilities. the guy was always up to something. I'm curious why Vader was such a stooge to him tho. I mean when anakin says to Padme he's powerful enough to over throw him and they'd bring peace to the galaxy, did he get a big helping of humble pie getting beat by Obi Wan? seemed to arrogant to let that knock him off his high horse. and yet, the emperor never came thru on his promise to cheat death and save padme. His suit kept him alive, but i wonder if it was possible to corrupt it as well when it was put on anakin -

lets say that was Palpatine kneeling in that rogue one trailer, it would explain his desire to constantly surround himself with powerful apprentices. that all along, Palpatine was still the apprentice, not the master, and was looking for that back up to finally claim his spot as the top dog. They definitely made him look weak vs Windu that he has to beg anakin to save him, which he does, but with anakin being stronger then Tyrannus, Luke being stronger then Vader (i think, maybe not) but Luke never turning to the dark side, if Palpatine had a do-over with anakin (in rey) he might have had a better outcome if anakin wasnt such a lose cannon vs Obi wan -

I thought about the dumbed down clones, but based off the movies they seemed fairly competent to drive vehicles, combat and communication, but also had what I'm guessing was pre-embedded directives (Order 66). I'm not familiar with how cloning works, other then you need a sample of the originals dna to reproduce, but they are supposed to be genetically perfect. If those with the force have offspring so they too have it, I can't see there being a difference. If a clone could wield the force and can be pre-programed to be your puppet, I would think that would be a great direction if you wanted an apprentice. Perhaps Vader in his robotic state was weaker then Anakin in his prime, so keeping Vader around almost ensured the emperor wouldnt be taken out by his apprentice anytime soon. no more no less, but it's ok to have someone waiting in the wings, wouldnt that explain why rey (if she was indeed a clone) was put on the shelf until Vader fell, and Luke joined, but also an ace in the hole if both flopped -

I got to thinking about the clone idea a little more, If Kamino was untouched with the guise of being a place to build the republic an army, and upon investigation, Obi wan kinda "mmmm ok"'d it other then being skeptical of who the basis of the clones were on (Janga Fett) why did Palpatine just stop there and then. When he found a burnt up and barely living Anakin on Mustafar, and he had to become mostly robotic just to live, why not just send some dna to kamino and restore/replace him. I'd imagine a clone would still have the force in them considering they are made up of the same genomes, similar to the passing of it through your offspring the only thing I can think of is the confliction between the sith rule of 2, which could have delayed the clone process until Vader outlived his usefulness. then the arrival of Luke further delayed it but the emperor dies before it even starts. somewhere between jedi and TFA someone activates it, and the penisless version of anakin is born (simple genetic engineering to change Z chromosomes to Y). If Anakin/Vader had returned after the empire fell, I'm sure the rebels would have hunted him down. But with him as a girl, who would think to give her a second thought -

ok so time doesnt work out, I kinda like my vader clone idea. I\m sure they could have found some anakin DNA in that beat up old helmet, that is some how in the hands of Kylo Ren in TFA. I'd have to, but dont want to, watch episode II again, but did anything ever happen with Kamino - the planet where they made the clones? I know it was removed from the archives, but clearly it was still known to some, but I dont recall the planet or the stations they made the clones ever being destroyed -
Theres always a place for the over the top lame guys. Bob backlund is a name that comes to mind

Pav's last year in the playoffs was beat time and again from the same spot (blocker side from shots in the face off circle) there was zero effort made by him or the coaches reviewing film to adjust to that spot and the ducks exploited him.

I'm waiting for the #1 job squad match between the social outcast vs Golddust/R-truth/Ryder/Fandango would be an easy gimmick with everyone taking themselves seriously thinking they are better then the other. probably get a few "no contest" results, like double count outs, wrestlers failing at rising to the refs count..ect just pure ineptness and it would probably make for an entertaining couple matches then get squashed tho... maybe guest spots for the original job squad and other crap like the spirit squad. maybe we see something closer to survivor series

yeah its a bit of a stretch, however time doesnt seem to apply sometimes in star wars, Padme defies time with regards to anakin's aging to her own. but I do believe Kylo ren and Rey are related, so even tho Obi wan regarded anakin as his brother, they werent really related. again I hope rogue one lets on a little bit to set up episode 8. just throwing out another long shot, after Vader thinks his kid (not kids) died with padme, even as a mostly robot has some of his remianing human genes cloned on Kamino, and like boba fett, is an un altered version that grows slower/normal then the clone troops. If she was made from Anakin it could also explain the light saber calling to her too. Luke never had some crazy visions as soon as he touched it, because he was only half anakin dna -

I read someone's comment before about Obi Wan, mentioning how he had anakins lightsaber for so long then handed it to Luke, just like Rey hands it to luke, and Obi wan was all about hiding children with the force at the time the empire was hitting stride and the jedi was all but extinct. Hopefully Rogue one sheds some light on this, because rey would have likely been a new born roughly around a new hope/empire strikes back, maybe when Obi wan even gave up his name and went with Old Ben Kenobi, he also dropped his jedi teachings and hooked up with someone random on tattooine it would also account for her british accent and by JJ abrams saying it was someone not seen in TFA, Obi Wans my new pick -

so who is she then a kenobi? was old ben gettin busy with the sand people while living in exile? -
your really banking on pitts! lol I thought I saw on sports center Fleury might be back in net but what was Malkin status? if Lundquists eye isnt that bad I still think the rangers will win. I usually do a mock bracket prediction before I pick my players, and try and load up with who i think will be in the final 4 so at the very least i'll have some players in the final this year i'd have gone heavy with LA, Chi, Washinton and Florida myself

I'm doing my pool with sportsnet this year, we used to get a bunch of us together and conference call mock draft our picks. worst pick i ever made was Scott Stevens on a Trap-perfected NJ team. never pick a defensemen again lol
-
only dark horse that ever did anything for me in a playoff pool was the lone year Carolina won it all. I really benefitted from cam ward playing on his head that year. I loaded up with Panthers and Kings this year, LA did me good, but despite all these goals yesterdays i got shut out with florida. I picked a lot of Jagr's line now i wish i picked smith's lol

so I watched the jungle book, it was actually pretty well done, and if you have kids I'd recommend watching it. Neel Sethi (Mowgli) does a really good job for such a young kid, he might be a kid to watch in the future. I'd say it was way better then the Jason lee version from 1994. I was unaware of how many big name actors they had do the voice overs; Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, scarlet Johansson, Garry shandling. waiting for the mash up Tarzan vs Mowgli jungle fight

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/04/15/obi-wan-kenobi-wasnt-going-to-die-a-new-hope/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook apparently Old ben wasnt supposed to die/join the force originally, I'm glad they changed it the way they did, but i wonder how different the story would have been without key jedi joining the force like Obi wan and Yoda in empire and return of the jedi. I'd imagine they had some part in helping luke train younglings between return of the jedi and the force awakens. wonder of ep 8 and 9 will show the rise and turn of Kylo ren in a rewind, especially since i hear episode 8 was supposed to be more focused on Kylo, or do we get a rogue two somewhere down the line to fill in the blanks -
i guess ultimately the day was saved in the movie, but not before they sit in the car with the gun. It has potential tho if they showcase the military and their experiments that leads to the doorway to the other dimension being opened and closer look at what comes out (this would be the X-files portion) and society going all crazy thinking it's the end of days (TWD)
-
the movie was.... ok. a little too predictable. I might watch the pilot when it comes out as it has some potential to be TWD meets Xfiles
