Mitichlorian tidbit - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

HeyLynny · 13th November 2002, 02:26 AM

While I was watching CSI the other day I noticed that one of the captions read "Mitochondrial DNA Lab". It sounded very familiar so I played around with the letters and was able to make the word Mitichloran (with an extra "o" and "d"). I wonder if this is how George Lucas came up with Mitichlorian. Anyone else notice this? I thought it was pretty interesting.

Actually, the word lucas uses is Midichlorian.

It's possible he got the idea from Mitochondria though, as well, it's kinda long to explain, but mitochondria are really weird little structures inside everybody's cells that don't quite "fit" with the rest of it. LOL
