Midi-chlorians.
At least Lucas was smart enough to have a scientific reason for how the force works and where it comes from than just "hurr durr space magics" that was poorly thought out in the original trilogy. The only reason why fanboys cried about it was because it went against a lot of poor written fan fiction tht Lucas had no intent on incorporating into his universe.

You're not even canon.

Well I'm certainly not Nikon.

"It's these special thingamajigs some people have in their blood that let's them do crazy shit."

Scientific?

So it's more believable for bacteria to have magic powers instead of people?

More believable than space hocus pocus.

I actuallly kind of like it that way.

Clone wars era-Yoda and the Jedi were, how to say it, scientific. Rigid. Too rigid maybe. And looking at the movies in this sense means that Yoda, is a progression in character.

When we see him in the older movies, he's worn down. He's old, and thinking about his life, and where it lead. The consequences of his actions. And maybe he feels that the rigid structure the Jedi once had, was what landed them in the spot they exist in today.

Nearly extinct.

In his age, his views have softened. He's like a real person. I know old guys around me that were fighters in their youth. Tough sons of bitches is the statement. But in age, they've calmed down. Mellowed out. Take a look at life in a different way.

And so, maybe Yoda is being the representation of who he represents. Age. Wisdom. Reflection. Because in his youth, he was aggressive. And maybe, blind. And he made mistakes.

He taught Luke the way he did because Yoda had the advantage of age. And giving luke a spiritual grasp on things over a science gave him more faith. More faith than a countable, visible number.

Maybe I'm overlooking things.

But that's what I like to think.

Well God, you could make it happen >_>

Another good thing is the excellent dialogue.

'Sufficiently advanced technology is indistiguishable from magic'-Arthur C. Clarke.

Also. The Battles of Coruscant, Utapau and Geonosis and the Order 66 scene were amazing, as well as evrything about Darth Maul.

Order 66 was, the rest were kinda.. video gamey

But Star Wars isn't sci-fi so the space magic explanation was perfectly feasible.
Besides, all that explanation did was show why certain people are force sensitive, it didn't explain how the midi-chlorians worked, and really doesn't bring anything worthwhile from it's inclusion.  There's nothing good about it nor is there really anything bad. It's just kinda there...

Yeah but people who claim to be SW fans keep crying about it.

i don't agree with your premise that it's the one good thing about the prequels

but yeah, i agree that midichlorians are a good explanation of the force

It wasn't until the Lost Episodes that I became okay with Midichlorians.
