Star wars was a very different galaxy far far away until 1999... Mutant jedi huh... heh sure, magneto and xavier and wolverine are jedi. Yoda didn't have enough midichlorians to defeat the emperor. Size Matters. Obi-wan had more midis, that's why he beat darth maul. "Master Yoda, you can't die." "Many midichlorians do I have, but not that many..." And my favorite, "Use the midichlorians, Luke."

Hmmm, perfect explanation and illustration for why the "midiclorians" idea was way too specific. I liked how they were linked to the creation of life and Anakin's conception, but beyond that they add so many new questions and problems to the understanding of the force that the average viewer simply scratches his or her head and doesn't like it anymore.
