ANAKIN- Master, sir...I've been wondering...what are midi-chlorians?
QUI-GON- Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force.
ANAKIN- They live inside of me?
QUI-GON-In your cells. We are symbionts with the midi-chlorians.
ANAKIN- Symbionts?
QUI-GON- Life forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to you, telling you the will of the Force.
ANAKIN-They do??
QUI-GON- When you learn to quiet your mind you will hear them speaking to you.
ANAKIN- I don't understand.
QUI-GON- With time and training, Annie...you will.
As Jedi Master Qui-gon Ginn explained In Episode I, Midi-chlorians connect people to the force. All living things have a Midi-chlorian count. Here is a list of some of the more Famous Jedi and Sith and what their Midi-chlorian count would be.
I have heard that many Star Wars fans didn�t like the whole Midi-chlorian thing, and that�s why George Lucas didn�t put them in Episode II. I�m not sure if you like them or not but this is a list that you need to see.
