Replicants

Shensenn · Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 5:03 am Post subject: Replicants

I was just smoking and enjoying some Chocolate hazlenut coffee (when I do my best thinking...or perhaps most confusing) and I thought of a few questions that led to some assumptions which led to yet more questions...so here goes.

First I wondered if there was a way to tell who a replicant was through the force. Assumption: If the force infuses everything and binds everything together then it would stand to reason that one might be able to pick out a replicant simply by the vergence in the force they would display due to them sharing thoughts/mind.

But this then made me think...on the one hand the force is described as a energy field that surrounds us and binds together all living things.

Ok well then in Ep1 we learn that the force is actually a parasite that can be measured in sentients...so does this means midichlorians infuse everything? I find it hard to believe the energy field is actually parasites that would dwell not only in the bloodstream on sentients, but also in the single cells of singe-celled critters, plantlife cells, airborne, etc.

Switching back to the replicant detection issue I then decided if we are under the assumption it IS in fact an energy field or these parasites communicating with eachother (listening to the force) then it would almost be impossible to detect one as the voice of the replicant would just blend with all of the other force noise. By the same token this would also have to negate the idea of the replicants communicating with eachother with a "shared brain" because they would not be able to separate eachother from all of the other force noise....Using the scene in Nar Shadaa in KOTOR as an example of listening to everything through the force....then add in that the replicants are spread out among several planets and well..it just seems a bit confusing.

Can someone clarify perhaps?

I still point to Jabe as the expert here since the story arc is his brainchild so to speak.

However, the only way I was able to tell Isleh was a replicant was by means of The Force. She gave me a tell informing me I didn't feel that little Force connection I have with her while at Rinna's clinic and an entire scene developed from there.

Maybe Isy or Jabe can offer a nod in here in that regard. My impression was this was just a fluke and couldn't be a 100% means of detection. So, I assumed special circumstance for that night.

Is there anything in the EU that suggests a force sensitive can use the force to detect disease and if so, how far progressed?

I was wondering this the other night. Last night in questioning Feirith I learned that the replicants are focused on "processing" those with "the gift", so my assumption is that of the force. There has to be a connection here somehow. I'm curious and would like to know as well.

Well when I think about the scene in which luke trains against the remote with his eye covered, I imagine "seeing" through the force as being sort of like looking at everything in infrared. Sentients and animals giving off the "brightest" (for lack of better word) force footprint.

So when I think of detecting replicants and now thinking about nanomachines, they would almost certainly have a spottier or hazier force footprint as the living tissue would also be a host to these nanos. Even a non-force sensitive would display a steadier image I would think.

Actually on the subject of determining who is and who isn't, my probe droid is set up to insert a probe into the back of the targets skull and take a brain tissue sample, which then can be used to determine if the target is a replicant or not. The downside is the target is usually killed during the procedure. Other than that it works well. Twisted evil
