* LukeIAmYourFather: More accurately, genetic donor. It turns out Falon Grey is the genetic template on which X1 and X2 were based. He puts two and two together when he realizes that X2 has Force potential and looks similar to him, as opposed to the Jango Fett clones, and, for the brief time after that he's still alive, refers to both X1 and X2 as his sons.

However, even these are subject to obvious limitations: the transition between ground and space requires a short cutscene.
