sabarte posted:Eh, 'if you aren't a Jedi you don't matter' is the sort of thinking that I'm uncomfortable with. I like Jedi, but I think non-Jedi have their place too, and it isn't necessarily a lesser place. Assimilating all the EU bloodlines into the Jedi Family Tree of Ultimate Speshul just seems....well, I personally don't like it. I suppose Luke and Mara might have viewed it as tragic. I also suspect it would have lead to a lot more interesting plotlines and discussion than we'll get in the future with Yet Another Superjedi Kid.
Charlemagne19 posted:I also liked the implications of Obi Wan Kenobi and "Jedi Apprentice" where Obi Wan clearly has met his biological relatives, knows he has a brother and who his 'parents' are but its not exactly a huge deal to him. Qui Gon is his father though and Yoda to a larger more extent though. He doesn't bear them any ill will and might even thank them for giving them up to the order but his family is amongst the Jedi. While certainly "dead beat" 'parents' are easier to divorce yourself from, the simple fact of the ties not being very important because your emotional and mentoring needs were filled by someone else means that the family bonds will not include the biological.
