The Jedi Breeding Program
|
I am wondering why the Jedi did not institute a breeding program since they shunned attachment. I would be a little worried leaving the next generation of Jedi to fate. And what about surrogate mothers? Even if they didn't want to impregnate someone like Shaak Ti or Aayla Secura with Mace Windu's or Anakin Skywalker's Super Force Empowered Sperm they could find a normal person.
I figure most of the time the kid would come out with some pretty bad Force potential...just look at Leia and Han and Luke and Mara, both couples are batting a hundred percent for powerful Force children.
Heck, the Skywalkers blood doesn't eve dry up after a hundred and forty years, it makes it more potent.
And the following is a guess but look at Roan Fel, I am going to assume he is a decedent of Jaina and Jag...alive and Force pushing.
Wouldn't Jedi breeding programs help swell the ranks of the Jedi with power people? The Next time a Vader came along it wouldn't matter because they could have someone with the same potential stop him.

Ummmm. Because they can Find more jedi than they can Farm.
Because Jedi Do feel tempted with other Jedi of diffrent sex, and a Breeding program could set off the powder keg?
Because it is moraly objectional?

The amount of Jedi who didn't actually shun attachment is decreasing by the day, so I don't think it would have been a good idea.
Sound theory, don't get me wrong, I like the idea, but it wouldn't work unless no one new about it and they were grown in tubes following some sort of IVF process

The Jedi would rather take children than breed them. I wonder how many people refused to let their force sensitive children go and become a Jedi.
If the Jedi had a breeding program, then people would complain that the Jedi are stealing more ideas and concepts from Herbert's Bene Gesserit.

As I understand it, taking children from their parents to be trained as Jedi is not merely, or even mostly, about having a steady supply of new Knights. It's about making sure that the Force-sensitive kids receive proper training, rather than be taken up by some strange cult, develop their own warped (from the Jedi point of view) perception of the Force, or simply go mad when they can see and hear things no one else can.
*shrugs*
At least that would make sense to me, but then again I never really understood Jedi in the first place.

There are other force orders in the gffa that aren't evil, so as far as I know the Jedi take kids that they want to train, not because they want to sheild them from other orders, cults and the like. Morgan Katarn didn't go mad or hear voices and he was force sensitive. I'm sure that there are plenty of force sensitives that train themselves or learn from others that grow up just fine.

Who's to say they didn't have one? Maybe not during the PT, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have one at some point...
Or maybe the Sith did, back before (or after) the whole rule of two thing. Come to think of it, wasn't there a mention of Darth Talon being born in the temple? Or just raised there?

The One Sith may have a breeding program, but it seems that they just allow the members to have some semblance of family, since this incarnation of the Sith seem to be a tribal order.

Oh, I'm sure most of them do. But they Jedi are not big on taking chances, are they? Forbidding all attachment since it MIGHT lead to the Dark Side?

Anakin Skywalker's Super Force Empowered Sperm they could find a normal person.
Anakin did. He found Padme. Or rather, she found HIM.

Thing is...the Jedi aren't really interested in swelling their ranks or creating more powerful Jedi or anything like that. They're not an army. They do what they do through the will of the Force and que será, será.

But realistically they would become interested in that at some point, in situations such as depicted in the PT, where there are "not enough Jedi".

Realistically, it would cross someone's mind but, equally realistically, I think they'd reject it as against their ethos, and furthermore useless for the conflict at hand.

Not to mention that in that specific instance, they were looking at a situation that had developed suddenly. They institute a breeding program even if they wanted to because they wouldn't have had enough Jedi to train the younglings, and it would have taken too long.

Well, Taloncard pretty much said what I was going to say. It'd take too long to make a difference.
Not to mention that it'd take at least the female Jedi completely out of the fight if they were wandering around pregnant (doubt you're up for a lightsabre duel after spending the morning vomiting and craving pickles  ), so in the short term at least, it'd actually reduce the number of Jedi available.
