Why can't we reserve our movie bashing to truly awful movies like Kill Bill, Rocky and Bullwinkle, or Eurotrip?

I don't know... I belive it sucked mostly because it was SW. If it wasn't related to SW in any way, I wouldn't expect much of it, and wouldn't mind Jar Jar (altough I dont hate him anymore), midchlorians, Jake Lloyd...
those were my only real complaints...
Jar Jar, midchlorians and Jake Lloyd just had no place within a star wars movie....
other reasons i didnt like it....
announcers for the Pod Race were unbelievably foolish and were obvoiusly directed towards making kids laugh...
Anakin saving the day by accident.... i thought he was a great pilot.?? not just lucky?

It would be like saying Jesus was the Christ not because of faith but because he has the right number of chromosomal alleles to be the Christ. Takes the faith factor right out of the equation.
It makes sense really. It explains why some people are more powerful with the force then others and why droids can't use the force.

You'll see how good a pilot Anakin is in the new film!

I agree that it does a nice job of explaining it, but I would've rather not had it explained. I enjoyed the whole mysticism of it. I thought that made it so much cooler when no one knew how to explain it really.

I think the midichlorians were a great idea. I prefer everything to be explained. The Phantom Menace had flaws but it had some great action, effects, and a good introduction to the story.

This is what Yoda says about the force in The Empire Strikes Back.
"Life creates it. Makes it grow. It's energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the force around you. Here, between you, me, the tree, the rock. Everywhere!"
In the original trilogy, you need a strong mind to control the force. But in the prequels, you need a high midichlorian count to do so? Am I the only one here that has noticed a change as far as explanations? George Lucas' explanations of the force in The Empire Strikes Back and The Phantom Menace seem to contradict each other.

Even in the OT the force had something to do with genetics. "The Force is strong in my family. My Father has it. I have it. My...sister has it."
And remember Han and Lando and Mon Mothma couldn't use the Force.
