Mitochondria do not explain God in any way. Unfortunately, Lucas has made sure that Midichlorians explain too much about the force in terms of the Star Wars universe. People like Weyseed are not the ones removing the mystery of the force with this concept, George Lucas already confirmed the way in whch they remove much of the mystery for us. Are living beings "luminous," like Yoda said, or do they simply carry varrying amounts of hereditary bacteria?
Why can't they be both? It's not like the Force wasn't hereditary in the classic trilogy. I figure with the Midichlorians, we have a solid basis to say it's about all life, not just the Skywalkers.So...then...only microscopic bacteria can communicate with the force for Jedi?

I didn't realize I repeated this in this thread, but people keep bringing up the same misconceptions about them.
