Look, I get why people have a problem with it if the idea of the Force being this intangible, cosmic mystery was something that they found appealing or compelling in the films. But that was never really a draw for me. If anything, it was a problem. The midichlorian explanation made it more compelling to me, not less.

There is nothing beautiful about it. That is pure, concentrated chaos. To try to understand it is to succumb to madness.

Burt, while I am on your side regarding your opinion, you are being pretty closed-minded about the whole issue by saying LV is "wrong". It is just his preference. You don't have to agree with it but don't be a d*ck about it either.

It's not a mystery. I just have a high midichlorian count.
