>―Qui-Gon Jinn, to Anakin Skywalker[src] Midi-chlorians were intelligent microscopic life forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. When present in sufficient numbers, they could allow their host to detect the pervasive energy field known as the Force.
Prequels are shit.

What a fresh, hot take. Is it 1999 already?
>>71159018
I wish it was 1999. The glory of the early 2000's will soon be upon us, and I can invent facebook a year before Zuckerberg does and make billions.
>>71158984
Clearly midichlorians are just the seeds/spores of the Disney force creating Yggdrasil bullshit
What's Anakin's power level?
>>71161429
and here i thought it was completely ripped off from parasite eve's plot
>mitochondria achieves conciensness=midichlorians
now all they have to do is go one step further and have the midichlorians take over a host like say, one dark and one light side as avatars of the force

You can't blame George. He had no way of knowing how bad the backlash would be. He had no way of knowing how big of a fit the nerds (and only the nerds) would throw for the next 5000 years because they have nothing better to do with their lives.
>>71158984
How did it ruin the lore?
>>71161598
No I'm pretty sure that anyone with half a brain could see that turning a mystical energy that some people are more in tune with into Space Diabetes was fucking stupid

People don't like science

At least George tried to do something new with the series instead of just replacing Luke with a Mary Sue and rehashing the first movie.
>>71158984
You think there is a black market for midichlorians? I imagine criminal organizations harvesting from force-sensitive younglings and selling midichlorians to those that pay the exorbitant fee.
>>71161749
and it was never mentioned again after.
Why dont you go spend your time doing some thing productive and in the realm of real life instead of stupid shit that doesnt matter?
>>71161997
midichlorians can't be implanted in a non-Force sensitive and they'll survive.
>>71158984
I really hope that at some point during this trilogy Luke will say something like "Ah yes, old Ben's master Qui-Gon and his crazy theories about supposed 'midi-chlorians'" before winking at the camera.
Really though you can just ignore the first flick entirely and it doesn't affect the story at all.

Nah, TFA did the right thing by pretending that the prequels don't even exist
>>71162213
If TFA came out instead of TPM then people would've called it out for being the unoriginal trash that it is.
