Greetings to all the other Cephiro Duelists that I might have unintentionally slighted in my enthusiasm over Ms. Took. :) I do have a general question, which goes back to events in S4, and applies to all the Duelists whether in Midgard or Cephiro. In Fulcrum of Fate episode 3, Yoda states that only Jedi who have passed the trials may take part in Rose Duels, which he identifies as being the primary custom of a newly-discovered sister order. First of all, I assume that the Jedi recognized the Order of the Rose as a sister order following the events of S4M7 (correct number?) though they, or at least Master Windu, may have been aware of them since at least 2406. That's somewhat beside the main point, though, which is this; am I correct to assume that all the Duelists, no matter where they are, have at least some form of Force-sensitivity? Utena, the Grand Duelist, has a degree of Force-sensitivity powerful enough that she could become a padawan if she were interested (which she's not). However, that goes back to what Yoda says, and very firmly so; only full-fledged Jedi may fight Rose Duels. It sounds as if the implication is that Duelists, at least several of them, have (undeveloped) Force talents equivalent to that of fully-qualified Jedi Knights. How badly wrong am I on this?
