Lucas should know that people don't go to Star Wars movies to hear techno-babble, and yet he had his characters spout off about midichloridians (spelling be damned), which incidentally killed a lot of the mystery surrounding the Force.

Uh, except that these are the same issue. There's a scene when Qui-Gonn mentions to Obi-Wan that he thinks Anakin was "created" by the midichlorians themselves. And I'm pretty certain that this will turn out to be a correct hypothesis due to the laws of movie logic (if somebody mentions something in passing, it will be important later on).
