I used to be okay with viewing midi-chlorianss as the “organ” that allowed you to use the force, thereby distinguishing them as two very different things, but then it was pointed out to me that if this were the case you could create an army of Jedi clones. Now I hate midi-chlorians again.

What are you talking about? These names are no more ridiculous than any in the OT. I think you’re just shrugging them off as lesser because they came from the PT and not the OT.

Actually, astromech droids are the only ones that become “eccentric” if they go without a memory wipe for so long.

This is one that I’m really sick of hearing. The tech in the PT is not more advanced than that of the OT. It’s a stylized primitiveness. Think about the era that the OT was released in. Everything, cars especially, had a very sharp and angular quality to them. Think about how you can see a lot of the working pieces on the Y-Wing and X-Wing.
The PT as an art style inspired more by the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon era; an era that predates the one in which the OT was released. Think about how everything is so sleek and rounded and then look at the Naboo Starfighter or Bail Organa’s speeder.
Lastly, Farlander, please do not write such ridiculously long posts. Either do it in increments or reread before you post to make sure there isn't stuff that you can take out but still get your point accross.
