Talk:Midi-chlorian

Use in determining force sensitivity
Edit
In the article, it claims that midi-chlorians do not offer an upper limit on force sensitivity. However, it also says that a count below 2000 in humans translates to non-force sensitive. This seems to create a paradox because non-sensitivity can be thought of as an upper limit of 0. This does not seem to serve a problem until the ritual of essence transfer. In Darth Bane book 3, bane discovers a way of transferring oneself into another being permanently. Suppose that Bane (a force sensitive) attempts the ritual of essence transfer (I know this would never and never did happen, but I am still curious as to the result) on a non-force sensitive. In effect, he gives up his body to take over the new body. Using his superior will, he will crush the spirit of the new person and take over. Will Bane in the new body be force-sensitive? he lacks enough midi-chlorians to have force-sensitivity (<2000), but he is a force sensitive being that "has no upper limit on his force potential."

- Complicated question. Short answer, no Force bacteria, no Force powers. But then the EU has been ignoring the biological implications of Lord Flannel-Shirt's little magic germs since at least the Reborn. Callista Ming lost her powers despite transferring to Jedi Cray Mingla, and she was haunting a computer at the time. However, beyond observed instances it becomes speculation, which as an encyclopedia we heartily discourage. – Karohalva 19:38, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
