Force Unleashed 2 trailer reveals side effects of 'imperfect' cloning

@acefondu

Do you know how confusing that would get?

"Luke... I am your father!"
"No, I am your father!"
"NO I AM YOUR FATHER!"
"No me!"
"No, ME!"
"Herp a derp."

@acefondu

If you've read the books you'd know Palpatine has done this with himself in fact.
It seems the origins of such cloning began to exist with this game, so I presume they had not achieved such a feat. before in Eps I-IIII.

@acefondu

By the looks of the trailer and the loud statement of "That's impossible, you can't clone a Jedi," by one of the characters, your complaint will be a major plot point.

@acefondu

midichlorians?

@Mister Darcy

Oh, well I saw it at work so I don't have audio. =)

@acefondu Alright well there are a couple reasons. Using some of the EU as an example, in the Thrawn trilogy Joruus C'baoth was a cloned Jedi. They established there that the cloning of Jedi and that attempt at manipulating the force caused insanity. Now with Episodes 1-3 it would be inferred that it was really the cloning of midichlorians that causes the insanity. Something that no one has been able to perfect.

Now in the trailer we see that the clones had all gone insane. Possibly its a countdown until the insanity kicks in. Or quite possibly to Vader the insanity is that they are of right mind, and wish to rebel. Likewise someone on kotaku brought up a good point. IF a clone does have the memories, but has a fresh opinion on matters, he may choose differently. So extrapolate that, if we cloned Anakin would he 10/10 times become Vader? Or would he by chance become the Jedi everyone knew he could be. If Palpatine cloned Vader and Vader realized the error of his ways (As Starkiller has) then Palpatine would have a full bodied Anakin Skywalker hunting down the Empire.

Now that would be pimp as hell, but ultimately an issue for Palpatine. Cloning hasn't been an exact science for Jedi and the risk is just too great. However Vader does want to usurp Palpatine eventually so risk doesn't matter to him.

@luce1sw
they can use a double sided lightsaber and a regular one and for the fourth one he can have 2 double sided lightsabers.

@luce1sw

He will carry it with the force.

Obviously.

Just a third lightsaber floating around with him.

@luce1sw

He carries one in each hand and the force just waves the third one around him like a spare ship in a Japanese spaceship scroller.

The force can explain just about any plot or logic problem, after all.

@luce1sw

he can hold it with his mouth like zoro from one piece ahaha

@luce1sw I'd tell you where he keeps the third one, but you probably won't like it...

@uverpanda this is exactly what I was thinking, although using the force makes much more sense.

although then he'd constantly have a force drain and probably couldn't lightning the crap out of everything.

@luce1sw Uhh... Weird thing I just thought of. They stopped cloning because the Kamino cloners rebelled against the empire, so they had to start using regular folk to be lightsaber fodder.
Why did they start cloning for Vader then? O.O
