Because Star Wars is fantasy in space, not science fiction. The Force is mystical, magical, and the basis for a profound faith. Giving scientific reasoning for Force-sensitivity kills the wonder and imagination of the Force. Not to mention they’re only (badly renamed) mitochondria, taking Second Place in the Stupid Name category behind the term “younglings”.

In short, it’s bad storytelling for this genre. GL is a good ideas man but a bad writer.

ALSO: Octorox, you should make your own thread for your proposed edit rather than filling Hal’s up with it.
