Oh yeah, the midichlorians. I forgot all about them. Yeah, they suck too.

And thank you Hot_Rod. Nice to know I'm not the only one who saw that Episode 1 failed to properly build any kind of friendship between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

You're not the only one. I thought all three movies failed miserably despite Lucas's efforts to "tack on" little scenes to plug up that hole.

And the moment I heard "midichlorians" spoken in TPM, I was devastated. It utterly destroyed Star Wars and the mystique of the Force.
