Once upon a time, in a Galaxy far far away, Anakin Skywalker asked Qui Gon Jinn, "I've been wondering, what are Midi-Chlorians?" Ever since then, Star Wars fandom has not been the same, debating the concept of a biological explanation to the mystical Force and whether it belongs in the canon. In the post-George era, Lucasfilm has shied away from even mentioning Midi-Chlorians, often using M-Count...
