    But why not midi-chlorians?

    It is interesting seeing people like episodes 1-3 now.

    I wonder what 20 years will do for 7-9?

    JarJar isa Sith Lord!

      The line when Qui Gon describes midi-chlorians to baby Darth Vader is the dumbest shit ever:

      Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no knowledge of the midi-chlorians.

      Like no fucking shit we would have no knowledge of something if there was NO LIFE numbnuts.

        Not to mention crushing the dreams of millions of aspiring Jedi.

        Oh you can’t have the force, you don’t have enough of this canon-altering mitochondria allegory.

        Baby Darth Vader… Cute until you think about it. And… They clearly picked Natalie Portman for the role of Luke and Leah’s mother… Why did they pick so young of an actor? Too old to start training!? It’s almost as if they wrote it with a 17 year old in mind but somehow forgot the “mah Christmas merchandising” rewrites.

        Ugh such a mess!

        it’s a shittier version of the anthropic principle

        “Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no BLTs.”
