Ah....the quintessential punishment for getting laid. 10 seconds of pleasure for a lifetime of pain.
"Not to defend midichlorians, but maybe those "living things" that create the force (ANH novelization) are midichlorians. Kind of like a spiritual presence, but on a molecular level. If the force is within us, then we can be in touch the force outside of us. Just a theory."
Quote
George Lucas: "I felt the Kiber Crystal was a way of articulating what was going on, but I decided that I didn't need it. It was better to make the Force more ethereal than to have it solidified in a thing like the crystal." - Annotated Screenplays
Lucas should have stayed with his original gut feeling.
