I think the government should socialize cell phones.They'd have a matrix of your income, social position, and job type, and then assign you a cell phone that is appropriate.

Which makes no sense since even inorganic objects 'have' the force in them.

Well, Yoda does say "life creates it" and then he goes on to name some non-living things.

I'm sure there's some parsec-esque explanation that will tie it all up in a nice bow for us.

I don't think Vader is weaker in the force simply because he lost a limb or two. He is weaker because his whole loving body has deteriorated to the point where he can barely even be classified a human being.

Yoda posted:

Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

So life creates the Force, but it binds non-living things in its field.

Also, wasn't there some retarded story about how the droid who blew a gasket in front of Owen Lars was Force-sensitive?

Not what you're looking for, but you reminded me of that one kid whose special affinity with the Force was him being able to control droids or something. He was in that Eye of Palpatine story. Something very special happened to him later on that I think everyone in this thread is familiar with.

And not to detract from the current cut of the jib, but I thought I heard somewhere that the EU explanation for midichlorians were that they were an insane fringe belief that pretty much only Qui-Gon and his apprentice subscribed to? I'm not making this up from whole cloth, am I?

My friend and I had a little in-joke about that. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon subscribe to this crazy made up drunken notion that Anakin blindly follows, Palpatine takes advantage of it and starts talking about "midichlorians" doing all sorts of badass poo poo. Then Anakin confronts the council about not being a master.

"What are you talking about?! I have more midichlorians than all of you!"

And then the council laughs their asses off as Anakin stands there dumbfounded, with that little pissed off face on his... face.

Good golly Miss Molly you just need to read Wookieepedia pages like these to realise that, however much guff Lucas might deservedly get, nothing he's done with Star Wars is even close to being as staggeringly stupid, nonsensical and infantile as the things EU writers get up to.

(...) Roganda had more alterations done to her son, including upgrading the memory chip in his brain, forcing his body to grow well past maturity so he reached a height of three meters, and having lightsabers implanted in his knees, wrists, and elbows.
