So, I've read on the page for "Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One" that due to some weird rules stuff, he can't use Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's Force points. I haven't fully figured out what the situation is, so I'd appreciate any help in understanding.

The reason the Chosen One can't spend Palpatine's FP is because although the card text says yes, the glossary says no - and thus the glossary takes precedence. I totally get that.

However, Bloo Milk's glossary entry for the ability is as follows: "In addition to spending its own Force points once per turn, this character can spend Force points from a character whose name contains Palpatine once per turn. A character whose name contains Palpatine must be in your squad to use this ability."

Thus implying that yes, he can spend Chancellor Palpatine's FP.

It appears that this is referenced in the comments, and that the glossary is incorrect because the card was incorrect.

I can kinda wrap my brain around that, but I have a couple of questions:

As it stands now, SC Palps IS NOT a legal candidate for Chosen One's Hand of the Emperor, correct?

It's not super important to me that the glossary gets corrected, but the conversation on the Chosen One's page isn't super clear: is SC Palps legal, or not? Has it been changed? Is it going to be changed? So even if we don't get a glossary correction, could someone post a comment on the page making it clear what the situation is?

And lastly, from what I understand, there shouldn't even be two glossary entries for Hand of the Emperor - the one for Anakin shouldn't even exist. I understand that, but I'm curious as to why not - it seems it was the intent of the designers that he work with SC Palps. Did they just use regular Hand of the Emperor, re-write the specifics, and miss the proper channels for creating a new ability? I'm happy to take Rules Guy rulings over faulty glossary definitions, but it seems that at this point in the game, for all intents and purposes Bloo Milk is the complete glossary - if the reason he can't spend SCP's force is because the glossary says no, and then the glossary doesn't say no, what is the problem?

Thanks for your help! If this has already been covered in detail before, I would be happy to just read through a forum post if there's a link handy.

And again, I appreciate the rules guys for all the hard work they do, I understand keeping rules clear can be a challenge, and I'm totally cool with however this works out, I'm just trying to understand the "Why" of the ruling in addition to the "What."

I knew about requiring separate listings for different forms of the same ability, but I wanted to confirm one way or another that the second listing was supposed to exist. Thank you! Always appreciate your help!
