If you’re talking about Pablo Hidalgo’s 14 part tweet, it didn’t read like prequel apologetics to me, just clarification.
Yep. If the PT and midichlorians must be a part of the canon, it’s heartening to see it contextualized in this way (and could point to how the Force will be viewed in future installments).
I appreciate his attempt to reconcile midichlorians with what the force was perceived to be in the OT.
