wait: anakin only had one gene donor. the only genes he’s carrying, apparently, are his mother’s, and the force bullshitted the rest. so, if you were to try and clone him - wouldn’t you just get clones of shmi?
imagine palpatine trying to clone vader and ending up teenage shmi skywalker, here to fuck you up
That might explain Rey…
That… That’s.. A shockingly good idea. It helps that it fits the casting perfectly.
If this were the case, it would mean that Rey could legitimately say to Luke “I am your father.”
And it’d be true, from a certain point of view. :)

….
Holy shit, that could totally work
I have never wanted anything as much as I want this to be canon. NEVER.
this is the only ‘Rey comes by her Force sense/badassery from somebody else’ version I can accept.
