In his latest blog entry, J.W. Rinzler looks back at George Lucas’ evolving thoughts on the Force and the ever-controversial midi-chlorians.
On a fictional grammar note, ‘midi-chlorian’ bothers me, though I have to assume if Rinzler is using it, it is indeed the kosher spelling. ‘Midichlorian’ just seems far more naturalistic.
Separating it so that “midi” is accentuated…makes it seem like there might be more than one kind/type of “clorian”…yeah?
Maxi
Midi
Mini
I might be babbling…I haven’t had my breakfast yet…
Maybe Yoda is a maxi-chlorian? *startswildconspiracytheory* ;-)
I always thought it was “chlorian.”
Okay, so I had a typo…no biggie…you know what I meant, right? ;o)
Our post had it too – fixed now!
..But I copied and pasted?
and maxi-chlorians: used to keep the swimming pools in the galaxy far far away from looking like Dagobah!
The words always makes me think of mitochondria… and I suspect that’s part of the inspiration for them.
