	DarthBoba posted: To sum up: -mitochondria do make life possible, as eukaryotic cells can't survive without them. -they vary in number from cell to cell. So, yes, basically they're midichlorians, besides that everyone is supposed to have the same number of mitochondria per cell, and mitos don't let you throw things around by thinking about it. This is very strange theory.. I am not so good in Biology but there are no 'useless' organelles within the cells. Not only mitochondrias are life important. The same applies for DNA, RNA etc... What if we cut off the membrane? From your point of view many midichlorians seems to live in each cell.. Not just single or group of them in each cell. This explains some things. For example - why did not Vader loose 1/8 (just example) of his powers together with the limbs. I am still not convinced that he has the same count of midiclorians as before but it makes sense. Hm.. I really think that injuries harm the contact of the Jedi with the Force. No way! Vader's limbs were replaced successfully by metal ones because of the technological progress. But this does not apply for the midichlorians. Jedi can use them on order to become well acquainted with the Force but not influence them. I think they still know a little for these small living things. As we do It is something like microwave: you know how to use it but if it is broken you cannot fix it.

	Like I said, "the premise"... Sidious attempted to 'stave off the loss of precious midichlorians'.(paraphrased) No stats were provided, but their loss was a definite concern. -----signature----- Lucas didn't ruin my childhood but he sure wrecked Vader's ^^Foolish men mistake transitory semblance 4 eternal fact^^ o[]\|\|]ooooooooo[0]\|\|[]{ Gal: 5:19-21 Philippians 2:9-11

	^ This just made me think of something. We are shown in TPM that the midichlorian test is done on blood cells, and that higher counts of midichlorians per cell is what they are considering to make one stronger with the Force. So are we to assume that only blood cells contain midichlorians, or could they exist in the cells of muscle tissue and bone as well? If it is only blood, then I see the point that not only would the concentration not change, but even the total count would not really change either. But if total count of all cells added together is what determines strength with the Force, then midichlorians also inhabiting tissue and bone cells would make a difference if one were to lose arms or legs (even though the concentration per cell did not change).

All living cells. eht13 posted: But if total count of all cells added together is what determines strength with the Force Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you? Not to mention that the total count isn't what's measured to determine potential. Anakin wasn't ground up into a powder and fed into the machine. -----signature----- "James T.

Every single cell But there is something other standing question. They are equal but they also live symbiotically inside the cells. Which forward us to: different cells --- different functions --- different type of relations with the cell's organelles and may be different importance for contact with the Force?

Blood replenishes. Agreed. But blood isn't the issue with Anakin's case. Its a shame midi's don't do like that one mutant in X-men untited, Wolvy whacked his arms and he regrew them... -----signature----- Lucas didn't ruin my childhood but he sure wrecked Vader's ^^Foolish men mistake transitory semblance 4 eternal fact^^ o[]\|\|]ooooooooo[0]\|\|[]{ Gal: 5:19-21 Philippians 2:9-11
