Ok, most of us know the true identity of Banth Rawk.

We don't know much about Cade's uncle. We know he left the order, got married to a woman who already had kids, and then adopted a couple of other ones. We know that he loves and takes pride in his family, including his extended family of scoundrels (Cade, Blue, Syn)

Why hasn't he and Droo had a child of their own?
We know the issue isn't with Droo. She has a child.

So, I've concluded that Nat Skywaler is sterile grin

Mind you, this may be force induced sterility. To prevent the conception of another Skywalker (kinda dumb if you ask me). I asked John a couple days ago in his thread, but haven't gotten an answer back.

I was just wondering why a family oriented man wouldn't have concieved his own child. For some guys, it isn't that important...but Legacy tends to focus on bloodlines, so there might be a reason behind it.

Droo could be sterile. There could have been complications from her only biological child's birth resulting in sterility.

Or Nat could have been injured during a mission that rendered him sterile and he and Droo don't want to go through the hassle of GFFA fertility options.

Of course IMO the most likely answer is they simply chose not to have biological children preferring to adopt.

I think its possible that he chose not to have children to avoid passing that much pure force potential down the line. Without the jedi order to dicipline his mind, there would be a greater chance of the child going bad.

But that answer isn't nearly juicy enough!

I figured something along these lines too. He obviously enjoys being a father figure to the orphans (or whatever they are) he looks after. I could see him after he left the order deciding to break the circle instead of continuing the Skywalker line.

It could be for fear of going bad. However, I figured after Kol's death it may simply have been that he feared he would be bringing a child into the world who was doomed from the beginning, i.e. the belief that if you're a Skywalker your life is going to be nothing but pain and hardship. He tried to run away from all that and escape, but deep down may have known what was going to happen one day, that the Sith would find him eventually, that happiness could only ever be short lived.

If he dies I think that'd be quite poignant. Nat never having a child for fear that their life would be destined to end in tragedy the same as his, Kol's and most of his family.

On a related tangent about Nat's adopted kids.

I know it's virtually impossible but I'd absolutely freaking love it if one of Nat's adopted Children was the Skywalker from the one armed idiots vision.

Esp if it was the cathar.

I mean I know it'll never happen that the odds are good that Cade will eventually be that Skywalker but I'd love it if Legacy turned all our expectations on their head and had a non blood relative of the chosen one be the Skywalker who got the galaxy back on track.

Interesting thread. I don't think Nat is sterile, he just doesn't want to produce skywalker strength children.

The man chose to not be a skywalker anymore.

seems like a pretty obvious choice to me.

He has all the love and support of a family, without condemning someone to carry the name...even if they didn't know it was theirs.

Sooner or later, the truth would come out, and haunt any child he had.

And to be perfectly honest...given Cade's perspective on things...I could see him following Nat's footsteps unless some things change dramatically.

That's how I was reading it. It's a deliberate choice to avoid putting the burden of being a Skywalker on another generation.

Nat walked away from everything it was to be a Skywalker, the decision to expand his family through adoption is not unexpected.

Or unwelcome, thanks Legacy team! applause

He didn't want the burden his name carried. So he put it aside. I can perfectly understand him not wanting to pass that burden inadvertantly down to any biological children. Of if you want to get all metaphysical on it, it may be that he was called to walk away and be the father of these children by the Force. So he'd be in the position he is in now, to help Cade.

Me personally, take option number one as the far more likely. That, and I think he's got more to teach Cade. But hey, I don't write it, I just read it.

That and you never know when the Sith are going to show up and hound you just because your last name is Skywalker.

peace CJM

If he was sterile, (which I really doubt) a few long soaks in a Bacta tank and his midi-chlorine laden sperm count would be up in no time. Bacta fixes everything. grin

So, I'm sure its been discussed before...but Force Induced Birth Control.

That could come in handy.



And John, I'm glad to see you in a thread where we discuss a Skywalker's reproductive problems. I love you, man.

In a butch, manly, guy sort of way, right?

I mean, we're talking reproductive stuff here. . .

Wait a minute! Just because he doesn't have any children with Droo, why does that automatically mean he doesn't have any biological children with someone else? mischief Everyone has more of a past that we don't know anything about. There's plenty of gaps for John to fill in. Right?

He also just may not want more kids than the ones he's raising.
