If a Force-sensitive were used for the cloning instead of Jango, could the clones use the Force?

Midi-Chlorians are in the blood stream, right? So if every clone is a perfect copy of the person, then if they had cloned a Force-sensitive would the clones be Force-sensitive?

I started wondering about this because my brother asked me about it, and when I told him I didn't know, he got this whole "What kind of a freak fan are you?" attitude. He suggested that I ask my "Jedi Council Friends," and once I got over the indignation of having people who share my obsession with SW "Jedi Council Friends," I decided to post a thead about it, to see if anyone else knew more about it.

So, if they cloned a Force-sensitive, would the clones be Force-sensitive?

 

Interesting question. I can't say I've ever thought of that before. I would think so, given that they receive proper training to do so. Even if they hadn't received training, though, they would all be better warriors due to the accelerated concentration.

 

Well if you go by the EU all Force Sensitive's cloned are force sensitive.

And Dorsk 81 was Force Sensitive, despite Dorsk's 1-80 weren't, which would seem that roughly 1 in 81 clones could become force sensitive, though that would mean that up to 37,500 members of the Clone Army could be Force Sensitive, so yeah not sure how that would work...
But generally if you clone a Force user, they are force sensitive

 

Very interesting. Perhaps more insane, fearless clones is just what the Army of the Republic needed.

 

Okay, so technically you could create a Force-sensitive clone, but odds are it would go mad.

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

 

Huh, this is interesting. What kind of cloning was Fyyar using?

 

It's odd how rarely cloning is used for Force-sensitives. I personally hope there's some other big problem about cloning Force-sensitives aside from potential madness (perhaps 99% of the time it is done, the midi-chlorians just die or never even grow in the first place, or the clones die due to the stress the Force's energy puts on them). Otherwise, one would expect a Sith Lord to have cloned the most powerful Jedi and Sith (with Star Wars technology and Sith magic, he'd no doubt be able to clone a mummified Sith such as Marka Ragnos), and produced an entire army to unleash upon his enemies. If he used some sort of genetic internal programming, or perhaps Force powers such as the Sith Battlelord ritual, he'd have an extremely dangerous army of the most powerful Force-sensitives to have ever existed, and I doubt anyone could withstand the combined strength of a clones Palpatine, Vader, Revan, Kun, Ragnos and others.

And of course, in the event the madness is too much for even various Force powers and mental control, then the Sith Lord could just kick back and relax (or laugh maniacally) as several thousand mad Darth Revans wreck the galaxy and destroy the Jedi.

 

Wasn't somebody cloning something in one of the Jedi Knight games? I really need to play those again.

 

the answer to this question in a real term of physics, yes.

to answer in a rhetorical way: up to George Lucas.

 

I was probably just thinking of the weak Force users who were imbued with Force power via the Scepter. Thank you, Sinre, you've just reminded me what a fantastically awesome plot the Jedi Knight games have. It's a shame that Kyle, Jan, Jaden, and Rosh haven't played a more influential role in the EU, although Jaden does seem to be getting some long overdue spotlight. And maybe we're better off without Rosh.
