"why didn't Vader clone his limbs?"
The writers didn't think of it at the time.

[asterjaden]

I don't know, Sidious believed his weakened power was actually due to a mental block and i'm pretty sure he was briefly proven right in Legends.

[Snowboardjedi]

This helmet off thumbnail is the best artistry of Vader I have ever seen!!

[mogwiawolf]

so happy you will be making a video for X1 and X2 was worried that you wouldn't say anything about them but am glad you mentioned them and really can't wait for that video

[SharptonsRaceCard]

I learned the other day that Obi-Wan grew another Anakin using some bacta in a bathtub and Anakin's severed hand

[wrdjibo]

everyone: trying to clone force sensetives and failing
marka ragnos: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

[chadflanaganCFC]

You missed another successful clone as Luke himself had several clones of himself produced by Joruus, and Thrawn, and if both Starkiller's and Joruus' clones count Luke's should as well.

[mattdodson]

If I were Vader, I would have found another Force sensitive, cut off their limbs, then cloned replacements and watched what happened. Then he could see how he should proceed based off the results.

[randybentley]

My question is, assuming that they survived, why weren't Vader's limbs not recovered and reattached...? For that matter, why wasn't Padawan Skywalker's arm reattached after that fight with Darth Tyranus?! It was laying right there in plain sight for goodness sake!

[Bytelovin]

Do you ever think about doing your show in the podcast form? I would love listening to your episodes on spotify.

[jordynjackson]

Did vlVadar ever look into some of the dark and/light side nexuses or Anomalies? What if he had, is it possible for him to have used the heightened connection to heal him self?

[mogwiawolf]

Also i would count the clone trooper Glitch which was more of a im not sure what to call it since he is a clone of a none force sensitive but somehow was connected to the force unlike his brothers

[BladeCrossEXE]

Thumbnail Vader lookin' like Sudowner.

[acenashton]

The first successful force sensitive clone was one made by Eldon Ax’s blood. When her mom created the clone she used chemicals to suppress her sensitivity to the force instead of weeding it out. I think part of the process to actually make a force sensitive clone is using something the blocks out the force during the process. I have a theory that if a force clone was ever made of Nathema then the process wouldn’t be disturbed by the force.

Regarding Galen, there are several hints that Vader simply fooled him again into believing he was someone he was not. The dead body showed to the "perfect" version of Galen, the real sith Starkiller that was came to see what was supposed to see Galen Marek's corpse, was dressed in tattered clothes that suggested that he was exposed to combat previously to his death, though they were not the jedi battle robes provided to Galen just before his fight against Vader and Sidious. There's also the firm belief of master Rahm Kota that Starkiller from TFU 2 was indeed Galen Marek (the dude was a force sensitive and a fucking jedi battlemaster and general. He even felt his and Galen's future as master and apprentice, respectively, while Galen was still one of Vader's puppet. Honestly, I believe he clearly felt Galen in the supposed clone we play as in the second game, thus his conviction). Don't know about you guys, but I believe Kota knew his shit

[Nedzilla]

Joruus was unstable due to fast growth using Spaarti cloning technology. Thrawn needed to use ysilimari to stabilize the clones so they wouldn't develop madness.

[agenticmark]

Poor if only bacta and cloning was available in Qui's day....

[jamandeming]

Just a random thought? Anakin was very good with machines he would realize to break down the body like a machine, clone just the body not force sensitive and then imbue his dark energy into that limb after the surgery

[djnavarro]

Palpatine knows what he’s doing regarding his cloned bodies since he has access to ancient Sith texts and knowledge. Moff Gideon is just a wannabe in wanting to harness the force. Gideon should’ve done research to know that the force will reject him and his failed clones

[tritan]

Im pretty sure people dont lose power from lack of limbs. Its not total medichlorians its medichlorians per cell. Yoda had the highest count in the jedi order per cell before anakin came along but yoda would not have had the most in total amount because of how small he is. This was explained in the phantom menace that its how many you have per each cell rather than how many total. The only thing that does affect them is their potential connection due to cybernetics but not their potential. Vader was explained to have been held back by his mental state and a mental block, not his loss of limbs.
