Midi-chlorians are not the Force

Description

I wish this could get out to all prequel haters constantly claiming the Star Wars prequels ruined the mysticism of the Force with Midi-chlorians, when they obviously didn't.
Also, I had no clue what category to put this under.

Finally, someone who gets it!


George Lucas on his Sequel Trilogy talking about the Whills and Midichlorians -


"The next three Star Wars films] were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there's this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills. And the Whills are the ones

who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force. Back in the day, I used to say ultimately what this means is we were just cars, vehicles, for the Whills to travel around in. We're vessels for them. And the conduit is the midi-chlorians. The midi-chlorians are the ones that communicate with the Whills. The Whills, in a general sense, they are the Force. ... But it's about symbiotic relationships. I think, personally, one of the core values we should have in the world, and kids should be taught, is ecology, to understand that we all are connected."


~ George Lucas, 2018
