T-R- posted:That, and that Anakin was older (~18 or so) when he meets Kenobi and joins him on an idealistic crusade.

T-R- posted:That the concept and manipulation of the Force was more spritual than genetic.
T-R- posted:That the Jedi were allowed to marry and have kids.
DarthIktomi posted: Not really a misconception.
posted:Well, it's technically not genetic, since it's the concentration of midichlorians, not the individual DNA. But it's entirely possible that certain genes affect one's internal ecology to favor more midichlorians. Or in other words, Force sensitivity is determined by the concentration of midichlorians r, but the genes determine the total potential midichlorians in the body K.
posted:That goes with mine. Also not really a misconception since Yoda says "The Force is strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned." Which I interpreted as teaching your children.

T-R- posted:It was a misconception because I thought Yoda trained Kenobi as a young adult. Ben says that he was "the Jedi Master that instructed him", not "a Jedi Master" or "one of many" but THE.

DarthIktomi posted:Luke being royalty because he's the heir apparent to the Empire = not a misconception, until you read the EU
darth-sinister posted:Why did you think that Luke was going to be the heir to the Empire?
darth-sinister posted:Yoda trained Obi-wan in the Jedi Arts from six months of age until he was one month shy of his 13th birthday. Qui-gon Jinn taught Obi-wan how to apply his training in the feild, for the next 12 years. Qui-gon does not teach Obi-wan how to use the Force in TPM. He teaches him people skills. This is why Obi-wan quotes Yoda right away in TPM. Yoda taught him to be mindful of the future.
posted:Uh, that can't be quite right. Where did you get that quote from?
Wookiee_Vader posted:I thought that in ANH when the Falcon gets attacked by that TIE near the remains of Alderaan, the actual name of it was a 'short range fighter' - I figured that Kenobi was correcting himself after saying "it's an Imperial fighter" rather than correcting Han.
