Every bit of that fan theory thread made me fangasm intensely.

If jar jar dies in the film I'll forgive him being in it. Otherwise his appearance will cause me dread

@PF; I'm just curious but what do you have against midichlorians?

What if there is a line "Mee-sah dying of Midichlorian poisoning"?

As a Sith he's sure to have a high count. It's possible.

took away the magic/fun out of the force (my biggest problem with the prequels)

it's easy to dispense with a throwaway couple of lines about midichlorians that isn't mention in the next two movies (right? I don't remember hearing it again). It's a lot harder to dismiss awful dialog, wooden acting, heartless too-clean cgi, an interminable pod race, pretty horribly transparent racism, soulless villains (general grievous? come on), etc. etc.

To be perfectly honest I don't think the acting/dialogue in the originals was that good either. I like the midichlorian aspect because it explains why only some people can use the Force as well as give it a way children can inherit it from their parents. It's still magical in my opinion, and I've always felt having an explanation for how something magic works makes it better, not worse.

I would love it if Binks was actually smart and evil. Not holding my breath.

But that's wrong.

The Toshe Monologue was a classic.

Of course it wasn't great, but it wasn't as consistently cringe-worthy either.

Every time Anakin tried to be romantic was terrible. Every other quote seems par for the course to me.

What is the Toshe Monologue? Google doesn't know either.

i was just kidding around, not really a monologue:

Really waiting anxiously for this one. Already listened different theories about it's story but I don't think any of these are true. It will be much more amazing than these.

Got tickets for Friday. Hope this isn't a repeat of the Episode I disappointment.

I'm beyond hyped. Using a damn plugin to block spoilers. Managed to read a few spoiler-free reviews and it sounds like exactly what I wanted it to be. TOMORROW NIGHT!

just think about midichlorians as indicators of force, rather than cause of force i.e. people with significant force powers have high midi count rather than high midi count people have significant force powers

makes it a bit more fun

It made the force decidedly a genetics thing though which is blegh
