Myself, I figured that Sifo Dyas had nothing to do with the clone army, but that Dooku just ordered the army himself and used Sifo’s name as a cover. Sifo might have caught wind of this, which lead to Dooku killing him. Sifo Dyas is definitely his real name, not just an alien mispronounciation, since Obi-Wan recognized the name.

And Vader/Anakin is definitely the twins’ father, as evidenced by his Force-link to them.

In one of the books, didnt Luke marry the Emperor’s personal assasin? And Leia is married with children, although I’m not sure whether she’s a Jedi or not. I dont read _all_ the books.

No, Lucas has stated that Jedi are not celibate-just that they aren’t allowed attachments like marriage and family. So I’m guessing they’re allowed to be “friends with benefits”, but nothing further than that.

Sounds like another plus of Jedi-hood to me. 😃
