Re:What's Wrong with New "Star Wars" Trilogy? (Score 1)

The midichlorians or mito-chlorians can not be the mitochondria or the equivalent because mitochondria are only passed maternally. So Luke and Leia's mitochondria would have come from Padme not Anakin. What bothers me the most about is if the Force=midichlorians and you can detect them in tissue it opens up all kinds of questions. Can you transfer them like blood? And you grow them and make more? Are they alive? And if they are so integral to feeling the force then why isn't it more central to the plot. Wouldn't the Sith be all about stealing other people's midichlorians or making their own to become more powerful. The Force just didn't need an explanation. And if you give it a scientific one well then give a role in the story instead of a throwaway line.
