Just to underscore how much George Lucas stole from Dune, he even wanted the third trilogy to be about ecosystems:

I believe a huge mistake of Lucas with his midi-chlorians stuff is that it's an OK idea for a book, but a terrible one for a movie. I really feel like him that there's no reason the microbial scale of things is in any way less interesting than the galactic one as far as science-fiction is concerned. It's just that space is so much more photogenic that to make the metaphysics of a sci-fi saga about infinitesimally small creatures that you can never see at any point of the movies is really such a dumb decision. The "Force" gets a pass because it's a mystical concept, and as such we are used to it being invisible and mysterious. But tiny symbiotic microbes granting you superpowers? Nobody wants that poo poo in a movie.

I think George Lucas got upset about the red letter media type takedowns of him, and more or less sold star wars to disney to get some kind of insane revenge and if he's whining it's because he very much regrets his tantrum Lmao

I still just say that midichlorians are force parasites and so while they are an accurate measure of strong force users, the Jedi have the causal relationship backwards because they are arrogant and dogmatic now let me tell you about my theories on the Matrix 3

That's my whole point. You could SEE all these things in that movie. Even a movie like Limitless or Lucy, you can still see the pills they are taking, giving them super powers. It's something tangible. Midi-chlorians? A character tells you they exist and you have to believe it and it's the equivalent of a jedi belief.

Midi-chlorians provide a scientific explanation for the Force: it's not that humans are magical, they're just full of tiny magical creatures and can use the magic. Science! Man, George really did have an amazing talent for demonstrating that less is more as he spent 3 movies destroying all the mysteries and charm of the previous 3. I think the only artist who improved his work with more backstory was Tolkien.

Exactly, I fully agree. The "Force" is perfectly fine as a mystical, unseen, mysterious force, especially in a movie. Midi-chlorian in a movie? That was really dumb. More backstory only works better in books IMHO.

One more thing that enhances understanding is imagining Leto's big ol' fake donger in every scene. Even in the scenes he's not in. Especially in the scenes he's not in.

Leto actually says all of his inner monologue out loud and everyone just has to awkwardly pretend like they don't hear him.
