a thought occurs...

if i were living in the star wars galaxy, given the technology available, including cloneing and such...

I would just hunt down people with a halfway decent medichorine count and extact it from them and add it to my own, increasing my count. i would keep doing this then slowly go after bigger and bigger targets...

infact all the bad guys could do this...

i know what you're thinking... (no, you shut up - i do)
but, if that were possible, woouldn't people be already doing that

no, beacuse everyone in the starwars universe about the time of the PT are dumb, and unresorcefull. and everyone of the OT period seem to have forgotten that MCs exist...

--------------------

hmmmmmmmm..........

maybe that's how anikan was conceived... a turkey baister full of MCs.

...just a thought

I brought up that point before. The Midichlorians aren't even part of the people, they're little microbes so it would be way easy to transfer them. And given cloning technology it would be possible to just make a fuckton of them anyhow.

But no, that would be stupid because then anyone could become a Jedi. Who would think of such a crack assed idea.

I liked it better when 'The Force' was mystical and magical. This whole mediclorean crap is just plain stupid.

I agree 100%. However, if there were midichlorians, then I'd be all for Barend's idea of exploiting this fact.

Yeah, like the evil queen did to steal Ariel's virtuous voice in the Little Mermaid cartoon. If it wasn't a musical, I guess that plot point wouldn't matter?

I think even most fans of the Prequels agree that 'Midichlorians' is one of the worst ideas in the entire Star Wars series (and that's saying a lot). Apart from the fact that it totally destroys the whole ethereal, 'mystical' aspect of the Force, it also raises all the practical questions that people have mentioned. Are Jedi allowed to give blood? If someone gets a blood transfusion from a Jedi, do they become Force-sensitive, and does it last?

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

That's a very good point. I never thought of that. I just hated midichlorians from the moment they were mentioned but they do present a number of insane problems.
What about this one: Would beings in the Star Wars galaxy mate selectively to produce progeny with high midichlorian counts? Since you can measure it with a simple blood test.... "Oh gee, I'm sorry Bob, you just don't measure up." "Poodooo!!!"

I believe Nixon got it right the first time, that we should live in a society with an elaborate caste system, and that the only thing better than looking like a million bucks is Being a million bucks... Literally!

While we're on the subject, how come everyone in the Star Wars universe doesn't sit around eating grass? Presumably the technology exists to make everyone in the galaxy capable of holding the microbes in their stomach that help digest cellulose, so why doesn't everyone just go for it?

Yup. I believe we ALL share that common denominator.

i remember a 60 plus page argument on theforce.net`s TPM board about this just after the film was released. i dont love the concept of them myself, no. the scene where Qui explains them to Anakin is horrible.

When I first saw it, I just didn't accept it. It was all so lame, so stupid that I couldn't concieve just how a bunch of microrganisms could give someone mystical powers.

I remember reading a joke somewhere about how 'May the Force be with you' should be changed to 'May your midichlorian count be high'.

Whilst we're on the subject of midichlorians, how about Anakin's 'virgin birth'? Yet another thing that makes me want to scream and throw things whenever I think about it. So now the Force can impregnate people? It's an almost offensively blatant reference to Christianity, which seems all the more out of place in the context of the Jedi's quasi-Buddhist philosophy.

AFTER medaclorian-necessitated revision:

Yoda: "There are little things in your cells; they give you super powers."
