I've had these come up multiple times now and could really use some clarification. I tried using the search function but it wasn't workign...some of these are pretty basic, thanks in advance:
-Does Force Renewal X stack? For instance, if you have Luke Skywalker, Force Spirit attached to Kol Skywalker, does he now regenerate 2 force points per turn?

-How are the squares counted for melee reach 2? It seems pretty self explanatory when a character with melee reach is on the same horizontal or vertical line as who he is attacking, but does it give any benefit if the character being attacked is on a diagonal away from the melee reach attacker? It just seems strange to me that counting two squares away from my melee reach character on a diagonal is actually going to force my character to get adjacent. Here is a diagram of how I currently read the ability:

XXX2XXX
XX212XX
X21012X
XX212XX
XXX2XXX

The 0 represents the character with melee reach 2 and the numbers represent every square that I believe this character can attack legally...the X's represent illegal attacks. Am I doing this correctly?

Thanks for the help. :)
