Agreed! I don't think Midi-chlorians were a necessity in explaining the story or giving validity to it or Anakin's creation, very similiar to Deanna Troi's character in the first 2 or 3 seasons of ST:TNG. (I'm glad her character got much better writers after that) Quite frankly, Anakin being immaculatly created by the Force is more satisfying than Midi-chlorians being involved. I really just overlook it, and as I stated in some previous thread, the back of my mind just accepts Midi-chlorians are put there from the creator of the Force. I don't let things like that stumble me from enjoying everything else about these movies. To me the new trilogy is not a complete failure to the legend of the original, they compliment them with new characters and ideas, some good and some that just can't live up to IV-VI. The more I watch them, the more I enjoy them, as I know also there will be something new on the horizon soon enough and that quirck becomes very small indeed. (About the size of a microscopic life-form!)
