The Rise of Skywalker is almost here, just a little over a month and the nine-film saga, much like the circle in A New Hope, will be complete. The film will attempt to tie all nine films together, yes, even the much-hated prequels. One of the bigger complaints about the prequel trilogy was the introduction of midi-chlorians, the microscopic life forms that were made the source of the Force.

The upcoming film’s director, J.J. Abrams recently spoke with Total Film, and revealed he had a meeting with Star Wars creator George Lucas, and the subject of the controversial midi-chlorians came up, check out what the two had to say about it below.

“He had a lot of things to say about the nature of the Force, the themes that he was dealing with when he was writing the movies. Yes, there were some conversations about Midi-chlorians – he loves his Midi-chlorians. But it was a very helpful thing. Sitting with him is a treat, just to hear him talk, because it’s f*****g George Lucas talking about Star Wars. I always feel it’s a gift to hear him talk about that stuff. Because the effect that he had on me at 10 years old is utterly profound.”

I don’t think J.J. Abrams is going to bring back the midi-chlorians, at least not as a major part of the story, they may briefly mention them, but that’s as much as I see them being used. Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one, if that even matters anymore, had a midi-chlorian count of over 20,000, the highest of any Jedi. Who knows where this movie may go, Rey could be a midi-chlorian herself, we’ll just have to wait and see. Though I will say, from what I’ve seen, the end duel is shaping up to be epic.
