Where did all this come from
For those of you who read comic books, you know that the Skywalker name has become synominous (sp) with Jedi and powerful Force use. However, where did it all start? Where did the Skywalker bloodline come from? I have a hard time beliving that Anakin was the first Force user in the family. If you buy into the notion that Anakin was created by the Force, I guess it's possible, but y'all know that I don't. I still belive that he was manipulated into being by the Sith, but I digress. Where was Shmi from? How did she become a slave? Who were her ancestors? There has to be something in the past to explain the strength all subsequent Skywalkers have in the Force. Maybe one of the authors will have pity and adress this issue in the future.
