Not really since the latter is an integral part of cell structure, whereas the former is some fantasy guff.

if you know its history it wasn't a normal part of the cell, it has bacterial origins and its own DNA. In a sense its normal flora not an organelle of the cell.

Back on topic people

My very thoughts.

Theforce.net doesnt give a very good understanding.

 

 

Try wikipedia

Lucas just try to put a scientific spin on the force by having these thing that are force cells that you can do like a RBC to determine how strong someone is in the force. maybe he was watching DBZ or pokeman and thought hey the kiddies are goin to love this

Dont make fun of DBZ DBZ is the best.

it was the gate way to bigger and better things, samurai champloo good stuff

My head just exploded.

^I decided it would be better to shoot myself with a tranquilizer gun

 

 

XD

 

Yeah um DBZ was what got me started on anime.

 

lets try to get back on topic people

Oh noes! After statement like that on topic is lost forever.

Back on topic? ...okay what was the topic?

Ok, i see now, midichlorians. What about them? Film reason? plot device to try and quantify the force so that qui gonn has a specific reason for believing Anakin is special as opposed to just a vague feeling. SW lore reason? whatever nonsense was stated in the film to explain it.

 

Unfortunately due to the shallow nature of the films there is no scope for a deep discussion on midichlorians.

 

All you can do is speculate wildy about what is essentially a mistake. Personally i think that is a bit pointless.

i think him having no father was good enough, the midis were used to quanitify that he was stronger than yoda in the force

Either tarna is really interested in midichlorians or he's looking for any excuse to lock the thread...

I hope its the latter .

It just said Anakin had more midichlorians than Yoda not anything about that he was stronger in force. IIRC.

Well, I was going to say something on topic in an attempt to make you feel welcome, but there went that idea.

No.

Midichlorians are the Star Wars equivelent of Mitochondria: http://cellbio.utmb.edu/cellbio/mitoch1.htm

:D Neither actually. I'd prefer it to stay on track so it 'doesn't' get closed ( as long as you guys want it anyway ).
