Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vaxalon" data-source="post: 269478" data-attributes="member: 789">"Midichlorian" is clearly a thinly disguised reference to "Mitochondrion" which is an actual thing.Mitochondria are tiny organelles that exist in large numbers in your cells.  They do the work of "burning" fuels like glucose to change ADP (adenodiphosphate) into ATP (adenotriphosphate) which your other cellular functions run on.It is theorized that they were, way back in the mists of organic history, their own creatures, which somehow learned to enter into a symbiotic relationship with the cellular ancestors of all life on earth.  The reason for this is that they have their own genetic material.I think, personally, that everyone is to some extent sensitive to the force.  Clearly, a force adept can influence other people with it, so they must be affected by it.  In this galaxy, life evolved with something very like mitochondria, but a little different.  They don't generate ATP, they generate force energy, which is stored there for later use.  Someone who has enough of them to use can become aware of them.</blockquote>
