My Changing Thoughts on Science Fantasy Games

[Micah Sweet]

The midichlorians thing just about spoiled the whole franchise for me. I just try to pretend it wasn't there.

Interesting that "overtly mystical" spoils it for you while "forgotten tech" does not. But I get it, because I've got my own similar prejudices, where one thing is awesome and the other is a buzz-kill, and while I can try to offer rational explanations, it's just how I feel about it.

It doesn't spoil anything. I like science fantasy. I just see it as a different thing with similar trappings.

I like to think that midichlorians are an indicator, but not a source. If you have strong force sensitivity, the midichlorians like hanging out in your blood.
