Better than the old man

No way. Anakin would was much more powerful. He just was never the same after Obi-Wan Kenobi performed the triple amputation on him. He would've been the greatest.

But Luke was better than the old man. He became a very powerful Jedi. I"m such a dork, I shouldn't get into this.
But, Anakin did have the highest midichlorian count ever, so I guess he may be better. Just took a turn for the worst you could say.

And speaking of Knight, what about coaches? Are there enough to compare.

Did they ever test Luke (and Leah) to see what their midichlorian counts were?

JB had a serviceable career. Nothing to brag about. He played a lot longer than most and made money. Kobe just went and took the game to another level. However it should be noted that JB showed him things that he probably wouldn't have seen had he not been the son of an NBA player. The same could be said for Bonds.

On that we agree. One reason both Barry Bonds and Kobe Bryant are better than their fathers were is because of what they learned from them. Bonds in particular was forever going to his father for hitting advice until Bobby Bonds passed away.

I was kidding when I argued above....but what the heck.....

There was no mention of midichlorians in the original trilogy, so they were never tested in the movies. My guess (because I've watched this **** too many times and read some of the books) is that they would have less than the old man.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Luke Walton or The Barry Brothers.

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but Richard Petty's dad won the Daytona 500 once, so I guess Richard Petty would count.

and finally, the music division of "not" -- Jakob Dylan (Wallflowers) will never match dad Bob in terms of greatness.
Julian Lennon will also never match or surpass his dad's greatnesss.
ditto for Sean Lennon, although he might have surpassed his mom Yoko's musical talents already.

Do I get points for having been in the same room as Jakob Dylan and Sean Lennon? I was talking to Eddie Vedder at the time.

Not George W. Bush, and not George H.W. Bush for that matter. Ol' Prescott got away with doing business with the Nazis, for crying out loud.

I know there was no mention of midichlorians in the original triology. So I was wondering if they were tested in any of the books. Then again, after Obi-Wan and Yoda died, did anyone else know what midichlorians were?

Good question E Street. I never read any of the books, but Phantom Menace was the first tie I'd heard them mentioned. Maybe they died with the olf-school Jedi.

And it is a given Jakob Dylan aint better than old Bobby Zimmerman, Julian Lennon is a hell of a lot better than Sean Lennon. His first album was good. Sean Lennon has too much of his mother's non-talent to be any good.

Whacky threadjack here. No idea if they were tested in the books. I've read maybe 10 of them...but there are a LOT more than that. Just to take a guess...Anakin was a "virgin birth" ... the prevailing theories were that either the midichlorians impregnated his mother somehow or Palpatine made it happen. That's why he was the chosen one....which would make Luke and Leah more watered-down versions, at least in terms of power.

Yes....I'm sick in the head...I admit it...

Hey, people keep asking questions....but yes there is....any further midichlorian debates should go on the running geek thread.
