I still dont' see how the Midichlorians make the Force any less of a spiritual entity. They simply give a bliological explanation for why some can weild said entity as a source of power and why others cannot.

It's like if one man God gave the abilit to speak very well, and other man did not have this ability. Not having the ability wouldn't make the second man evil or less able to have faith in God, and if anything it would put MORE responsiblity on the man with the ability to speak.

And said man could use ability to speak for good, like say, Mark Twain or Billy Graham, or he could use the ability for evil, like Adolph Hitler.

See the parallel?

I finally got to see it to day and was quite impressed. I don't see that it needs much editing at all. But there are a few things:

Grevious' coughing: OK, I get it that he's sick... But why? Why is he sick? Is that just an excuse for Obi Wan being able to defeat him when Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura couldn't do so together?

The Lizzard: I don't have much of a problem with it, except that it was a much brighter green when it first appeared than it was later on. Toning down the color saturation should fix this.

Anakin's Turn: I agree that this was pretty weak, especially compared to his turn back to the light. If there was something that could make it take longer it would help. I don't see what more could be done.

Vader's Scream: I don't know. It is way OOC for Vader, but the scream itself is handled well enough. BUt it's still way OOC and shouldn't have been done. Editing out the scene would be best. Cut away after he asks where Padme is.

Hey, Jedisage, the first part of Vector Prime isn't all that great, but the ending is completely worth it.

Overall, the NJO is pretty good. Traitor and the Enemy Lines books were my favorites. The last five or so are all excellent. I would advise you to read "Tatooine Ghost" by Troy Denning sometime before finishing "The Unifying Force", because the two tie-in to each other and make the end of the NJO worth it.
