Considering the original trilogy states that Force sensitivity is passed down through bloodlines (“the Force is strong in my family…”), I never understood the problem with midichlorians per se, even if Qui-Gon’s explanation of them is rather boring and mundane.
The Force being hereditary and The Force being the result if micro organisms are completely different things. The main problems is that there is no mention of midicholorians in the OT.
Honestly, I greatly prefer the idea of Padmé dying in childbirth to the idea of her living on Alderaan with Leia for a few years, which would imply that she purposefully parted with her son Luke.
The quality of the idea is not the issue; it’s the fact that it directly conflicts Leia somehow remembering her mother.
If George Lucas had created very detailed plot outlines but given the actual screenwriting and directing to others to accomplish, the results would have been epic.
The results would have been much more epic than The Force Awakens.
Perhaps. It would be nice to at least see George’s idea for the ST.
