[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 9304120, member: 6906155"] I think the most significant thing Ventress says (although it's not completely new) is that "everyone has an M-count". It's not a binary "you are either a jedi or a muggle". Someone with a decidedly average M-count can be trained in the force (as with Sabine), it's just going to take more effort to learn. So Omega has a high enough M-count that she could be trained as a jedi and learn to use the force, but it's not high enough for her to have special powers without lots and lots of hard work. It's worth noting that Ventress is trained in three different force traditions - jedi, sith and Dathomiri witch. So, whilst a jedi would discount Omega as far too old to learn, other traditions would not. So she believes Omega is potentially trainable, but does not think it would be in her best interest. Ventress does not (apparently) know anything about Project Necromancer, she just knows Omega's M-count is high enough for her to be in danger. Now, I am going to put this out there - the prequal era jedi misunderstood cause and effect when it came to midichlorians. They do not enable someone to use the force, they are simply attracted to the force. Moff Gideon's plan to give himself force powers by injecting himself with midichlorians was doomed from the start. It also explains how force ghosts can function without a body. The prequel era jedi did not know about force ghosts, Yoda had to go on a personal quest to learn that. As for the clones, that they have low M-counts indicates force abilities are not inherited directly from the template. We can assume Jango Fett had an average M-count. This is the problem Project Necromancer needs to overcome - they could clone Palpatine now, but the clone would be weak in the force. The significance of Omega is not that she has an exceptionally high M-count, but that she is a clone that seems to have inherited a level similar to her template. Also, the Empire's general search for people with high M-counts has nothing to do with Project Necromancer. It's for people to train as jedi hunters for the Inquisition. Since most of those people are not clones they are not useful for the Project. Which means there is a solution of sorts for Omega - if they can shut down Project Necromancer she would be much less interesting to the Empire. [/QUOTE]
