Gonna wait for reviews before I see it
If I hear Jar Jar or the word Midichlorians I'll walk out

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

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.

The Toshe Monologue was a classic.
Of course it wasn't great, but it wasn't as consistently cringe-worthy either.

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.
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!

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