Two quick notes (not to detract from the movie...I loved it and I am excited about Star Wars in a way I hardly remember being before...)

why the re-introduction of midichlorians? "luminous beings are we, not this crude matter..." or, rather we're crude matter with little pieces of crude matter that give us the illusion of beign luminous. The whole point of luminosity is that you don't NEED an intermediary, a part of you actually exists on a spiritual plane. Oh well.

And the other thing, the ambiguity of force powers. Seems like Obi Wan could have used the force to lift those buzz bots off of his fighter. It was life or death situation, he could have done it without anger, fear, or destruction, and so forth. I understand it was exciting, but there's always that struggle between what the force should be, in theory, and how it actually gets used.

Oh well. Sorry to gripe/nitpick. I'm a whiner.
