Just seen a picture of Vader Force-choking a trooper. And then I started wondering: what if they had cloned a Sith (or a Jedi). Would the clones have the Force? Specifically, would they have the same Force as the original?
Answer
Within G/Disney-Canon, this has never been tested. It can be noted, however, that midichlorians cannot be transplanted in the EU/Legends canon.
However, this has come up a few times in the EU/Legends canon.
A few notable ones off the top of my head:
- The Dark Empire comics deal with the Emperor being revived via clone bodies. Each are very powerful Sith/Force Users.
- Joruus C'baoth - the clone of a Dark Jedi, created by the emperor. The clone is a powerful Dark Jedi with full access to the Force.
- Luuke Skywalker - a clone of Luke, created by Joruus, using cells from Luke's severed hand. Luuke is a formidable opponent and Force User.
- Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games, who is a clone of Galen Marek. Like Marek, he has full use of Force Abilities, and is arguably stronger than the original (though, some of this is likely just due to heroes of sequel games needing to seem stronger than previous iterations).
