I don't see the midi count as a limiter. I think that people with lower midi counts could acheive the same things as someone with more, it's just not as easy for them.

Perhaps, but it seems clear to me that when you have a midichlorian difference, all other factors being equal, one person will have weaker power with the force. The spiritual nature of the force is therefore less important now. A person's willpower is always going to be relatively limited by his physical amount of midichlorians. The only way I could see George getting out of this is by saying that midichlorians aren't physical beings (which is unlikely). In other words, the residual concentration of midichlorians in a person's physical parts would ebb and flow with the utilization of the force because they aren't limited by physical dimensions.
