There´s one thing that bores me at ESB: how long has Yoda trained Luke? Only during the period between the scape from Roth and the arriving at the City of the Clouds. How long did that last? Probably something between one day and one week ? Wasn´t the training toooooooo short?
Roth? Hoth. yeah it did seem pretty rushed, he only had one real challenge though, to destroy vader. Only then would his training be complete.
I didn't like the idea of medechlorians in the PT(someone correct me on the spelling now) All of a sudden the force was scientific. The idea of the force in the OT was much better. I loved the originals, still do. The thread about the ESB being shite must be from a none believer, the ESB is the greatest of the star wars films, probably the greatest film ever.
I'm also not a fan of the Midichlorians and the midichlorian count. It just seemed to take some of the magic and mystery of the force that was established in the original trilogy. Take Yoda's line from ESB, for example: 'Lumonous beings are we, not this crude matter. (taps Luke's arm). Then compare that to Obi Wan in TPM: 'His (Anakin's) midichlorian count is off the charts.' The latter just doesn't have the same impact on me. I would have preferred to see the force draw its power from the ghosts of past jedi and force users, not tiny life forms in our cells. Who knows maybe the revenge of the sith movie will bring back some of the magic. Perhaps by some discovery that the midichlorian theory was in fact wrong. It could be part of the explanation for disapearring Jedi.
Anyway.....
I'm not a fan of the midichlorians, but it certainly didn't stop me from enjoying the movies.
Peace.

Jar Jar, TPM, unnecessary changes, GL and his need for moooooore money. Oh, and a trio of snubfighters taking out the SSD Executor? Bite me, Lucas, we both know that wouldn't happen.

yeah, I really don't think any of these things, which albeit some are annoying but they are minor, would get so blown out of proportion if it wasn't for whiny fans. Lucas said in one of the interviews on the Bonus DVD that he never expected these to be watched more than a couple times and never expected them to fall under such serious scrutiny. Some fans act like he has an Encyclopedia of Star Wars somewhere with all the rules and he somehow has broken them over the years. They are just movies, movies meant to be fun and relatively simple at that. To quote Indy, he's just "makin' this up as {he} goes along".

The way i choose to think of Midichlorions, infact the only way in which it is even remotly acceptable is that Midicholorions do NOT make the force or give you super powers, but they are simply attracted to the force, so it is a way of measuring how strong someone is in the force, because they have attracted a large amount of these creatures sensitive to the force.
that IS the explanation of Midichlorians, they are cells that allow people to communicate with and use the force. They don't give superpowers like the metahumans in DC or mutants at Marvel.

No no that implies that they actually do something, the midicholrians don't do **** all, they just sit there. The only thing that they do is become attracted by the force and show up in force users, but they do NOT do anything.
ok i hate nothing, the cgi in the prequels are totaly neccesary, jar jar binks was just very clumsy and gave star wars a bit of humor, lukes training was not rushed he was being trained by yoda, plus he had a bit of training by obi, and sorry lucas made medichlorians and only he say what they can or cant do.

what was the line qui-gon said about them? didn't he say something about them helping Jedi communicate with the force? something about having no knowledge of the force without them or something? I can't remember, I haven't watched that one in a while... I hope you're right. That is better.
I'm kinda shocked Anakin didn't freak out when he finds out he's full of them and go "OH MY GOD! Get them out of me! They are inside me, under my skin, they're everywhere!"
Forget his mixed emotions and the death of his mother - his turn to the darkside is clearly because he's full of creatures whisperring in his head. That'd turn anyone mental.
And, I bet by Episode 3, the Jedi find out they aren't midchlorians at all, and are in fact, parasitic worms similar to maggots. They then find out that they need to have a wash in order to get rid of them.
This would explain why Anakin (a dirty little slave) and Jedi (dirty robe wearring hobos - especially Yoda) are so strong with them.
Ho ho, it would be funny if Obi-Wan confronts Anakin in Episode 3 and it's like:
Obi-Wan: "Anakin......."
Anakin: "What?"
Obi-Wan: "Bath time"
Anakin: "I don't wanna"
Obi-Wan: "You must......."
Anakin: "Or what?"
*Obi-Wan gets out a hair comb and beats his hand menacingly with it*
Anakin: "No, no more spankings! Bow down to the Vader!"
