Vader and Lumiya's decreased midi-chlorian count I might be wrong, but wasn't there some mention (in some interview with Lucas) that Anakin became less powerful as Darth Vader due to the loss of so many midi-chlorians? Thus Palpatine wanted Luke and so on. Also Lumiya seems to mention this in Betrayal, that she is much less powerful as a cyborg. So, could someone with a firmer grasp on this add it to the article?

For example, Vader couldn't use lightning because he did not have real hands.--Shadowphobia 21:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Vader couldn't use lightning because it would kill him.

I would edit the midi chlorian article to something like: midi chlorians are a hyper lame web 2.0ish pseudoscientific term made up by a committee of scientologists that ruined the entire concept of the force. |

“It seems to me that the regulative idea that we heirs of the Enlightenment, we Socratists, most frequently use to criticize the conduct of various conversational partners is that of ‘needing education in order to outgrow their primitive fear, hatreds, and superstitions’ ... It is a concept which I, like most Americans who teach humanities or social science in colleges and universities, invoke when we try to arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own ... The fundamentalist parents of our fundamentalist students think that the entire ‘American liberal establishment’ is engaged in a conspiracy. The parents have a point. Their point is that we liberal teachers no more feel in a symmetrical communication situation when we talk with bigots than do kindergarten teachers talking with their students ... When we American college teachers encounter religious fundamentalists, we do not consider the possibility of reformulating our own practices of justification so as to give more weight to the authority of the Christian scriptures. Instead, we do our best to convince these students of the benefits of secularization. We assign first-person accounts of growing up homosexual to our homophobic students for the same reasons that German schoolteachers in the postwar period assigned The Diary of Anne Frank... You have to be educated in order to be ... a participant in our conversation ... So we are going to go right on trying to discredit you in the eyes of your children, trying to strip your fundamentalist religious community of dignity, trying to make your views seem silly rather than discussable. We are not so inclusivist as to tolerate intolerance such as yours ... I don’t see anything herrschaftsfrei [domination free] about my handling of my fundamentalist students. Rather, I think those students are lucky to find themselves under the benevolent Herrschaft [domination] of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their f |

of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents ... I am just as provincial and contextualist as the Nazi teachers who made their students read Der Stürmer; the only difference is that I serve a better cause.” – ‘Universality and Truth,’ in Robert B.

We're Standing By A River In A Place Where Nothing Moves And The White Light In The Sky Is Meaningless And Cruel And We Turn Our Face Away From A Cold And Violent Wind And We Bow Our Heads Down And We Pray To The Sound Of Freedom With A Mirror In My Hand And My Eyes Burned In The Fire Drunk On Self Deception And Punished By Desire Leaping Directly Into A Bright White Sea I'll Keep Myself Breathing And I'll Swallow The Sound Of Freedom Nobody Else Can See You Nobody Knows You Feel Go Further Inside You Where Nothing Else Is Real Now Throw Yourself Into A Pool Of Silence You Can See And Hold The Mirror Before Your Eyes And Light The White Light, It's The Sound Of Freedom Now Time Is Just A Picture That Moves Before Your Eyes And Every Lie That I Believe Is Falsely Compromised And This Is Not A Sound And We Are Not Alive Someone Else Was Here Before In Someone Else's Mind And The Ground We Walk Is Sacred And Every Object Lives And Every Word We Speak Will Punish Or Forgive And The Light Inside Your Body Will Shine Through History Set Fire To Every Prison Set Every Dead Man Free And The Air We're Breathing Now We Breathed A Million Times And The Darkest Dreams We Dreamed Were Dreamed By Other Minds So Take Us To The Water Take us to the sound And Wash My Soul Away Where It Can Never Be Found... And The White Light That Surrounds Us Is The Sound Of Freedom Pounding And The Ground That Opens Up Spits The Fire From Freedom's Mouth And The Concrete, Glass And Steel Break With A Freedom You Can Feel And The Wind That Blows Through Heaven It Screams The Sound Of Freedom And The Violence That Destroys Is The Birth Of Freedom Singing And The Lovers In The Field Make The Sound Of Freedom Bleeding And The Pain That Eats My Mind Is The Shout Of Freedom's Life And The Sea That Splits In Two Is The Cut Of Freedom's Knife And The Fire That Burns This City Is The White Light In Freedom's Eye And The White Light Is The Sound Of Freedom |
