Oh but it did. His Force abilities were pale in comparison to what he could have done as an organic Anakin Skywalker.

I can't tell if you're Neb or not, so if you are: Hey! And if you're not:Midichlorian count is per cell, not per body. Anakin could have only a head and vital organs left and still have the same 20,000+ per blood cell, brain cell etc.
And Vader had the capacity and power to perform Lightning, but had he done so, his mechanical limbs would have acted as a conduit between the electricity and his body, f*cking with his life-support's circuitry. And yes, Vader was far more powerful in the Force than Anakin ever was, but Vader's potential took a nose dive. His own psyche and paradigm held him back---due to his actions circa RotS.
But collectively, it would decrease wouldn't it?
Also, it wasn't just his mental limitations and stuff, it was the physical hurt and damage that took away most of his force powers. He was a pale shadow of his former self; lacking the panache, lacking the confidence, lacking the fitness, lacking the robustness, simply no longer what he was supposed to be.
Originally posted by Annus MirabilisTotal number is irrelevant. Since all lifeforms have midichlorians, would not the biggest lifeform be the most powerful? Since that isn't the case... there's a reason why 2-foot tall Yoda is one of the strongest---and it has nothing to do with his biomass.
But collectively, it would decrease wouldn't it?

Two decades of action and Sith tutelage and Vader circa TFU and the OT was far more powerful in the Force than Anakin was.
Saber - Anakin
Force - Anakin
All-Out - Anakin
Every conceivable confrontation - Anakin
Reason: Galen is too consumed with rage and hate to actually kill Anakin, the reverse is not true.
Example: In Unleashed 2, every saber lock Marek blocks Anakin's single saber with a cross of his paired sabers. He is too enraged to simply parry with one and end Anakin with the other.
Example 2: Nearly every word Anakin utters sends Galen into a blind fury. This of course lends Marek incredible power, however Anakin retains his higher reasoning and simply side steps every hammer blow.
Concession: Yes, Galen is at least in my opinion more powerful than Anakin and Anakin while able to kill Marek, is generally not able to defeat him in order to do so. Why I settled on Anakin in the end is that Galen would like the candle that burns bright... exhaust himself before Anakin and then loose. SABER
FORCE: Anakin focused almost no attention on the non-martial aspects of the force. The only thing it seems he did master was defending himself from it enabling him to force a physical confrontation. Ergo, Anakin need only wear Galen down then kill him with his saber, and if the contest is strictly one of force use then same thing except he throws the saber.
All-Out: Anakin - "I killed your daddy."
Galen - *Incoherent rage*
SFX - *clash, clash, clash, sizzle, thump, zwoosh*
Anakin - "I killed him! I kill him like an ANIMAL!!"
Galen - *still dead*
Anakin - "An ANIMAL!!" *sobs*
The end.

Not entirely accurate. Midichlorians for one are organic organisms ergo are life and do not have themselves, but that's just arguing semantics. My actual point was going to be the Yuuzhong Vong. Which have no presence in the force, midichlorians they haz none.

It's more likely that the ability to communicate with said midi-chlorians was blocked or severed rather then them being burned out. After all, midi-chlorians are supposively tied with all life. The Vong, **** their infernal names, make no sense in context of all other EU.
