If I'm making assumptions about things that happened off screen, it's that Yoda figured out that Jedi Master Lucas was making shit up when he scienced up some bullshit explanation about how the force works.

I'm not trying to defend Georgy or midocolorians or any of that crap. I'm just pointing out how damaged the franchise has become and that future films in the series have to deal with these things being real in that world. Sure, they can (and should) just ignore them, but the galaxy far, far away just isn't as cool as it was in '77. There's so much bogging that world down now.
