I may not know all that for sure, but it does fit with what the movies show, and that does support the idea that Lucas has been consistent about the Force all along.

Maybe, but there are many other ways to explain what George Lucas intended. We can't know the canonical state of it all unless he tells us.
Otherwise, George Lucas is the kind of guy who plays around with different ideas all the time. Just look at all of the rewrites he made of the original Star Wars. Is Luke Starkiller consistent with what we have now? If George had midiclorians in his mind from the beginning, we can make an educated guess that he wasn't sure if he wanted to use the idea until he made Phantom.
