Anakin's midiclorians.

This is scraping the bottom here, but I was wondering. If midiclorians are like mitochondria and they exist in every cell of a living organism , then when Anakin loses his limbs/lower abnomen, does it mean that he will have a smaller midochlorian count?

It's a good question, but I don't think it's true, I mean, Luke lost his hand and was a better Jedi in ROTJ.

I think that Vader let him win.

i think vader will be less powerful with the force as a result of his lava bath, but still remain the most powerful jedi ever.

quigon stated that midichlorians reside in the cells of ALL LIVING THINGS.

so its safe to say that they are in all of anakins cells as well...so...he loses flesh, he loses cells, thus he loses midichlorians.

yeah.....i bet he lost some of his manhood as well

I think Anakin would have less power in the Force, but he's still quite strong.
Luke didn't lose nearly as many......

Ani can't fall in the lava or there'd be nothing left of him.

don't solve this with "human science" midichlorians resamble mitochondrians, but doesn't mean they are that.
this is star wars, not earth 😉

understood yersoot, but its simple math.
every living cell in anakins body has midiclorians.
the more midichlorians you have, the more powerful you are with the force.

so, a subtraction of cells equals a subtraction of power.

one thing this has me thinking is:
is post-duel vader still more powerful than yoda?
they seemed to be close according to that screen chart in ep1.
and that when anakin was...whole

I read an midicolrine count somewhere once. I think it was the official Star Wars site and it had Anakin and Vader down seperately.
As Anakin he was miles infront, next one down was Yoda and then Palpy.
But as Vader he was about half that of Anakin...... Can't remember where Luke was in the list...
I will have to find it and post the link

AAAAAA!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 😠

Well, since this is Star Wars, we are allowed to cheat some of the rules that exist in our universe. I do not believe Anakin loses midichlorians after the lava bath. All the suit does is allow him to breath and it makes him much stonger physically. (Not to mention intimidating.) That and I assume that after he becomes bionic, there are still several hundred Jedi that will meet Vader's lightsabre; afterall, it's their fault he became that way.

I think that it does reduce power, because I think I remember reading in a book somewhere that luke was ashamed of losing his hand (later in his jedi life) because he wasen't allowed to reach his full power or something along those lines 😮‍💨

I can't bear to listen to the M-word anymore.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

hehe.

Books have nothing to do with George Lucas and his ridiculous world he created. Although it is logical Anakin's bionic body would lower his power, it most likely did not happen. Think about all of the plot holes we've seen, Lucas>Logic. (at least in his opinion)

Surely its not about how many midichlorians Ani has but more about how he uses and abuses the one around him. As we know, the force surrounds us, binds us...

I think if he can still harness the force around him then he will remain powerful.

That's genius. Afterall, Yoda tells Luke that the force exists in the rock and his ship. What do you know....
The force exists even in machinery...

Yeah, so it kinda points towards Ani/Vader having control over his prosthetic limbs and organs etc... which would give him back probably most of his original powers.

It would also explain how the Jedi/Sith can use 'Force Pushes' and 'Force lightning' I guess, because I suppose they are manipulating the world around them for their own purposes.

Thats what I always thought the force meant, as if it were some kind of telekenisis alternative. Mind controlling matter...

Not IN the rock or IN the ship. Get your DVD's and listen to it. It's clearly describe as an energy field created by all LIVING things in the universe. And here are the lines, just as a reminder:

"Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you... me... the tree... the rock... everywhere! Yes, even between the land and the ship!"

AROUND... not IN!!!!
