Actualy I never thought the midichlorians are said to BE the Force, they just help the people to be somehow conected to the Force. That's the way they are described in TPM.
The Force itself is not explained by the existence of midichlorians.
That's right. But just as well we don't need to know how people connect to the Force. We only need to know that they do and it exists.
