I must be the odd one out that was not at all fazed by the midichlorian thing. I can't get into all of my reasons why that is because some of it hits philosophical territory that is not allowed for discussion here, but one reason I CAN say is that seeing as I came into Star Wars from Star TREK, I tend to look for explanations a lot. It did not seem so odd to me to see midichlorians as something similar in concept to real mitochondria.
(Oh and now, a group of organisms found in nature thought to be related to human mitochondria have been scientifically named "midichlorians"! Life imitating art!)

I like how it brings SW more into reality. It does take away from some of the mysticism of the Force, but modern scientific advancements have done the same thing with many mythological beliefs today. |

If you were interested in taking that first part to PM, I would not be averse to discussing it further there.  What I can definitely say I agree on is that it made it feel a little more like with just a small tweak, that we could (metaphorically) make our universe into that one. For me, that was not a bad thing. |

got to the thread late & am wishing I had caught the unedited posts.
I dig SW mostly for the wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I wasn't bothered by it, either. In fact, I liked the concept. The midichlorian is the powerhouse of the Jedi? I'm fine with it. As for why I like Star Wars? I grew up with it. My parents loved it. They introduced me to it and at a very young age, I was taken with it. I can't really get into the reasoning here because it borders on rule-breaking discussion, but let's just say the philosophies and such are important to me. |

Why do I like Star Wars? Here's a list of five reasons:
1) Explosions
2) Lasers
3) Big explosions
4) The Force
5) REALLY BIG EXPLOSIONS

6. Lightsabers? That's my sole argument for why SW is better than ST. Nuff said |
