    Being strong with the Force builds up Midichlorians in your body the same way lifting builds up muscle in your body. You can't grow Midichlorians in petri dishes because they need the Force to grow and replicate. Even if you transplanted them into another person, the person doesn't know how to or likely care to dedicate the time to use the Force and the Midichlorians will just starve. Anakin having the level of Midichlorians that he did wasn't meant to be a "power level" like people treated it, so much as it was to say "hey, this kid with no Jedi training has Mr. Olympia tier Midichlorians...how the Hell does that work when he never trained in the ways of the Force?" This is one of those things prequel haters went full moron with along with Jar Jar.

      But if Midichlorians feed on the force, don't they make you weaker?? Won't Jedis need to inject something that kills midichlorians in order to maintain their force levels?

        Presumably they don't feed on the Force and if they do, they feed on it like plants "feed" on sunlight. We'll never know the full story though because Lucas sold off the rights to Disney before he could explore the Force in more details in his sequel trilogy. One would assume there would have been a lot more exploration of these ideas, especially by Luke who probably would have wanted a more scientific understanding of the Force. Oh well. At least we got Rey right?

            That's what Lucas was clearly leaning towards moron. The Whills were in the OG draft of Star Wars

              Yeah and expalining magical telepathy abilities with soience is moronic which is why it was kept out of the movies.

      1 they are not set up. Qui trots out the explanation and the audience can take it or leave it. Bad writing! (having a scene earlier with Qui and Obi mentioning them in relation to Obi's training could have helped develop audience interest)
      2 the name is a dumb choice. seriously, a 5 syllable word for your mcguffin, only James Cameron can get away with shit like that.

          read what i said again
          they are explained away as a scientific fact
          for a mystical force
          can you not see how that fails to build anything that could be described as movie magic?
          Your burger-radar is also broken.

      No that was not what Lucas envisioned.
      Lucas was clearly thinking about sacred bloodlines idea.

    You dont have to anymore, its now canon that anyone can just use the force if they really feel like it. Finn for example just started using the force. Theres no training or anything special about any of it. There can't be or it would be wrong you see, everyone has to be equally capable at everything or some woman or black persons feelings might get hurt. So now everyone is a jedi, but theyre also not a jedi, because jedi aren't special, except they are.

        He just randomly uses the force to know where to go in TROS and when they ask him he literally just says something along the lines of "I just know" implying he's been able to use the force the entire fricking time, despite no one caring including himself.

    I dont get what the purpose of The Force is. Its inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

    Its like watching gang wars (Sith and Jefi) in Detroit while the rest of the planet is already builing colonies on Earthlike planets. Armies win wars mit Jedi Mind Tricks.

    Because midichlorians are attracted to focal points of the Force, not vice versa. All you’d accomplish by injecting yourself with them is fooling the Jedi detector.

    Midichlorians are such a dumb idea. Lucas really had some dumb as frick ideas for the prequels.

    His notion of how the light side / dark side works is dumb too. Apparently you can only use the light side and that maintains balance, and you're a jedi. But if you're not a jedi and you use the force not according to their tenets, then you're a darksider. So what happens to some random guy born in the middle of nowhere and he's force sensitive? And he uses the force to farm crops more easily? Seeing as he's not using the force in accordance with jedi teachings, he's of the dark side.

    That's pretty moronic. This notion of how the force works should've just been the jedi version of it with the truth being somewhat more neutral.

    Did they ever officially negate or retcon this? Like it was pseudoscientific belief in the pre-empire era?
