This was disscassed in part a while back with some great opinions.
For example java guy pointed ou that cus of newtons third law saying that every action must have an equal and oposite reaction,when yoda lifted lukes ship on the swamp thing he should have sunk into the ground. But i think we have to read into more that yoda used the force he didn't move the ship himself. So as the force is in the cells of every living thing (see eposode 1) then the oposite reaction on every living cell would be spread out so much that it would be unnoticible. _______________ The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.

Mitochondria were seperate organisms many millions of years ago but where absorbed into the cells of animals in a symbiotic relathionship. The cells provide a safe place and an energy source, the mitochondria produce the energy that cells use to transport proteins. Mitochondria are passed down by the mother, and scientists are searching for a biological 'Eve' by tracing mitochonrial DNA. Here's a picture of the bugger:

George does borrow a lot. You can see that he even borrowed from the teachings of the Bible (especially in Episodes 4, 5 and 6.) The dark side is more powerful in the physical realm but the light side is about more than this life. "Crude matter" Yoda called it in episode 5 referring to the body. The Jewish people thought that Jesus was going to free them physically from the Romans but according to the Bible he was here to save souls. And the kingdom he talks about being established is not on earth. "You can't possibly win Darth. Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." (I might have gotten that slightly wrong.) So I think that because he did borrow so much, from several sources, that the force does actually exist in several forms.

You mean Midachlorians are another 'borrowed' concept ? |

Corran I don't remember where I heard it, but I beleive the midichlorian theory was based on a similar theory.
Somewhere I remember hearing about Mitocondria, another single celled organism that lives in our cells. Oh, as I write this I do remember where I heard it now. It was a game called Parasite Eve. I don't know if it's true or not. _______________ Death is only the beginning. |

We all know know that George Lucas begs, borrows and steals nearly every aspect of the SW mytholgy from that of real life , the parallels from the force, races, architecture, names , design are all takens from various creeds and cultures, some commonly known, others more obscure .
George has taken the central concept of a higher power (central to all religions) and simplfied it into 'The Force'. Since SW is a action based sci fi fantasy , 'The Force' is what gives some of his characters the ability to do fantastical things. Never forget this is fiction people, but another interestting aspect of SW is where GL draws his inspiration from . |

I dont think the force exists.
Oh BTW in reference to the previos comment din't qui gon gin (or wotever the bloke with the wierd name is) say they lived inside every living cell.So in fact they're not single celled organisms.

Heres an interesting point of view: The force exists, but since none of us have any midichlorians in our body we have no knowledge of it. We know we have no midichlorians because they are single celled organisms, too big to be unnoticable by scientists, who haven't found them.

I don't think the Force really exists. I believe something similar could exist. You have to believe in psychics and ghosts and that kind of stuff though. _______________ Death is only the beginning. |

Oh sweet god. You believe the Force is real and everything may be connected by midicloridians?
Everything is connected? Quite possibly, considering every living thing derived from a single celled organism. But something which people can channel to...jump super high...no. Take Yoda for example, he was nothing without the force. Without it, he wouldn't be able to do anything. Martial artists don't use the force, they use skills acquired through training.

about the force
there is a force, something that connects everything together. may it be from meticlorians or not, there is something that binds us all together. however, in most of us, this force is very weak - we have almost no control over it. Only the very gifted, or some martial artists (aikido) have developed this force to an extent where it is useful. It is still there for everyone, but not everyone feels it. _______________ When you become an actor, you become the person, and you dont act anymore.

he talks about midichlorians while talking to obi (blood sample) and later, explaining them to anakin _______________ Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day... |

I havent read any EU stuff, but I thought the Mitaclorians were from the books?
Also... there is a force, and you can control it. However, in the non-movie worlds, the force isnt light and dark, its just 'grey' |

I think the thingie Javaguy talks about doen't count (I know something about physics). Because, you are relocating molecule, lifting them. And if you want a counterforce, think about the mastery off the force you have. You let all the molecules in the area take that force upon them. And, there is so much unexplained in the universe, you've got to have an opened mind. I really like the new books with the Yuuzham Vong, there the force is described masterfull. _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue.

To be honest i really really dislike G. Lucas way of explaining the force or the ue of the force with the midachlorians. If you've ever read any SW books of the extended universe like the New Jedi Order, you won't like to hear anything of those lill creatures anymore. _______________ Falling from heaven is not as painfull, as surviving the impact. |

First, the normal force is an incredible thing. Even if it did push the X-wing up and it pushed back on him, the ground would have pushed back up just enough so that he stands on level ground. That's why when you stand on thin ice it breaks. Because it cannot push back up the equal to your weight. This is also why your feet hurt after standing for a while. Not only is your weight pushing back down, but the ground is pushing back up. |

I believe it was intended that the presence of midichlorians in the body brought a connection to the "living force" allowing the being to channel the energies of the force.
And with all due respect to javaguy quoting newton's third law; I have no knowledge of working physics, but a great understanding of the concept that something new comes along almost everyday that flies in the face of conventional physics laws. _______________ Death is only the beginning. |

Isnt the force supposed to work because of 'midachlorians' or summat. Which implies that it is the human / carbon based life forms ability to control these 'midachrolians' that enables the force. No , yes? |
