Do midichlorian's really matter?

Midi-chlorians are a trick planted by Satan to make people question the Jedi.

Midichlorians are ok, but they were never the be all end all.

Midi-chlorians are rubbish. Worst idea GL has had since Han Shot Second.

I've been wondering... what are midichlorians?

i find it odd that yoda had the highest recorded midichlorian count prior to Anakin and yet it took him 100 years to be promoted to master and 500 years to be considered on the level of thon and Nomi Sunrider.

Darth Plagueis' research upon midi-chlorians showed that a higher number of midi-chlorians does not equal more "power" in The Force.
A good example would be Vader. After he lost most of his body, he was still stronger than his Prequel Trilogy persona.

Yes. And with Midi-Chlorians Manipulation, one could theoretically increase their midi-chlorian count.

And then there's that interview with George Lucas where he talked about how the midi-Chlorians were actually gateways into a different dimension where the "Whills" lived and they create the force...

no, midichlorians don't *really* matter.
