So Midichlorians are the "reason" that jedi's have their power... oooookay.
Well if that's the case then you could do this
...Or could you.

If Midichlorians are organisms in the blood then...

I don't think it was ever stated that midichlorians are the cause of a Jedi's abilities, they're just a symptom of being strong in the force.
I would say yes, but then again if you put more of the bacteria in your stomach in your stomach yous hould be able to increase your rate of digestion and metabolism, and to my knowledge you cant do that.
I'm sorry, I just can't stop thinking of Mitochonria, the organisms in the blood which actually exist and are, weirdly, the driving plot for the three Parasite Eve games.
No, they're not. They're an indication that one is powerful in the Force. And that's it.Bouncing Ferret FIlm said:
Of all the things to rage against in the new trilogy, midichlorians is not one of them. They mean fairly little, just a way to test people for Force sensitivity. I mean good heavens, if I remember correctly they even say it in the movies; just because one can be powerful in the Force does not mean they'll be a good Jedi.
Gods, the whole midichlorian whining really gets my nerd-panties in a knot.
If we just go according to the movies, the midichlorians seem to be the source of the Jedi powers, Qui-gon tells Anakin "without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the force."
Reminds me of this. Skip to 8:49 for the relevent part. But I recommend watching the whole thing anyway. But do go find part 1 =P
Midichlorians, seriously. I don't understand the point behind them.
Oh, it's worse than that:Bouncing Ferret FIlm said:
1) General Grievous is impossible.
2) The Sarlaac is one of the biggest Force Users.
3) Hutts have an anti-Midichlorian.
4) Incest makes your kids have stronger Force powers.
5) Yoda is one of the least powerful Jedis.
6) Vader is lower than Yoda.
7) Bacta Tanks can't work - or they provide Force Powers.
8) Size is important.
9) Its existence is direct exposition to camera.
10) The rhinovirus/AIDS etc. will directly limit force powers. As will haemophilia.
11) Vampires do exist and are uber-powerful.
12) Midichlorians are chromosone based. (Leia having almost no force powers?)
13) Force Dandruff, Force Toenails, Force Scabs...
14) Force...bodily fluids...Including Force Poo
Before we get into the whole ONE BLOOD! ONE RACE! ONE EMPIRE! part of....the Jedi.
So, if I received a blood transfusion from a Jedi, would that grant me Force powers??
Or is there some restriction of blood type?
But then again ... entirely different species that evolved independently, separated not just by continents but by LIGHT YEARS can all have these little blighters floating around in their blood making them Force sensitive.
So in other words, George Lucas was speaking out of his arse.

Most of those didn't make sense. That said, the midichlorians, to me just seemed like a convenient way to instantly recognize Anakin as TEH CHOSEN ONE via a simple, 30 second blood test.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I imagine any other way would've required 90 minutes at the very least. Plot convenience brought to you by one Mr. Lucas. The fact that they're never mentioned again is proof positive that even Lucas himself probably looked at the script later on and went: "...Midi... aw for fuck's sake..."
I was going to make some witty Star Wars comment, but IS THAT DOCTOR WHO MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND?
And I can't say the whole Midichlorian thing is a deal breaker for me, just a bit of a silly point.
