Chefelf.com Night Life: Swordfish - Viewing Profile

For my money, one of the biggest problems with the overall continuity is the introduction of Midichlorians.
It bothers me for two reasons.
ONE: It was not necessary. Nobody was questioning the Force or the reasoning behind it. The audience, as a whole, happily understood and accepted that the Force was a form of Religion and/or Magic. Period.
TWO: There is no continuity. When Ben explains The Force to Luke for the very first time, he defines as an binding energy field that is created by all life. (He obviously learned the definition from Yoda). Yoda later gives almost an identical definition in ESB. Again....no mention of Midichlorians. Why then, is everyone (including Ben & Yoda) talking aboot "Midichlorian counts" 40 years prior to that?!
What happened to Midichlorians between the prequel trilogy and the OT?

Thin. Very thin.

Hey All,
Just discovered the "## reasons to hate SW" lists and, all I can say is; BRAVO. It was refreshing to hear someone break it off like that (as opposed to the millions of Lucas minions who merely worship him blindly)

I still find it amazing (and enjoyable) that there are so many problems with the scripts and Direction.

It will take forever to read all the posts and opinions in all the threads but...here goes!
