...except that Obi-Wan & Yoda make no mention of them in Episodes IV to VI.
So? That isn't confusing. There is nothing confusing about the explanation and introduction of midichlorians. The concept is pretty well explained. Lots of stuff in Star Wars is introduced and then not talked about again. They're plot threads, and flavoring details. I'm not saying the concept was necessary or even very flavorful--but it's not confusing.
I'm not a fan of rationalizations. I don't believe anyone would say "She died when I was very young" referring to childbirth.

I don't believe people can levitate things with their mind, either, but in a movie as fantastical as Star Wars, things like that are pretty easily figured out. And by the way, fan edits are essentially 2 hour long rationalizations on DVD, man
There's all kinds of charges you can level at the prequels, I just don't think "Confusing" is one of them. I think trying to edit out all mentions of Darth Vader in Episode III will make the movie confusing, actually.
Ell ,the edits seem clean enough, but it's kinda hard to evaluate WITHOUT that music being fixed.
