Otherwise, arguing based upon public opinion can be very important. If the vast majority of people who watched Episode I were of the opinion that midichlorians were "dumb" (at least in the way they were presented in the film) then it would be more likely that the concept didn't entertain. It doesn't mean that they are correct of course, or that there aren't rare perspectives where midichlorians were fantastic from the start, but the likelyhood that they are correct is greater if they are in the majority.

Tiptup, I can see what you are saying, but my point is, can't you assume Lucas intends it in the way you prefer until he actually says that's not the case?

I do that to a degree already. That doesn't mean I can't guess what he considers official based upon what he presented. I don't have to pretend that George intended it the way i wanted him to just to feel better. My life does not revolve around Star Wars and the mind of George Lucas. Does yours?
