It didn't give a mechanism for how the mitichlorians do what they do, but it does say that the force is caused by microscopic organisms in your body. That's pretty explanatory to me. It carries with it a ton of implication. Mainly that it's a biological thing and not mystical.
But it isn't explained as being biological, just that there is a biological connection.
Except the dialogue used clearly stated that midichlorians cause the Force...
If they had just said that the more force you can wield the more midichlorians you have and left the connection more vague it would have been way less of a slap in the face for most people imo.
No, not caused at all. More like a conduit.
"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. When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you."
They aren't bacteria. They live *inside* cells. More like mitochondria.
That is exactly what came to mind when I heard that line.
