When I watched Episode One ( I think?) , one of the characters explained The Force as being an over abundance of mitocholrians ( or whatever they were called) in one’s blood…changing what I saw as the entire concept of the whole series. And consequentially, making me like it considerably less. Now it was less spiritual and more of a…blood-bourne pathogen. So ..here’s my question.
Who said this? What was their personality like? Who did they say it to? Could it have been wrong, or deliberately misleading?I dunno what intrinsic need I have for it to be more spiritual and less biological…but apparently I have this need.
Qui-Gon Jinn gave this explanation to Anakin’s mother after he analyzed his blood to understand Anakin’s powers. He asked who the father was and she said there was no father. Obi-Wan Kenobi was his padawan
Thanks.
I had made it a more spiritual thing in my young mind than it ever truly was, and I can’t help but feel somewhat disappointed still. I should rewatch them.
It’s okay, Coat. That was just some of your pseudo-scifi BS speak that inevitably makes it into these things when one of the writers has drunk too much coffee, and then later gets retconned right back out.
Midichlorians don’t exist, says Disney. Although apparently the Star Wars Christmas Special is canon, so there’s that existential horror still waiting for you.
