As Jimmy investigates an abandoned car, he finds a journal that sheds light on a mystery from twenty years before. As he explores his memories he discovers the truth behind the city and the supernaturals who run it. ~~~ Inside of each of us is the darkness wanting out. But what if that darkness is the ending and the beginning of us all? The full moon hung like a ghost in the night sky as Yada overlooked the lights of the city below from her tenth-floor apartment. She studied the diamond twilight for over an hour before turning away--No longer able to stomach the sight. It had been nearly a month since she had been home, having stayed in the coven’s inner chambers since the city fell under siege to a rival house a little over three weeks ago. Over the years, the city had seen many battles for control of the streets. To date, the two bloodiest battles took place within the last fifteen years. The Badens orchestrated both attacks. Led by Darius, the Badens seemed hell-bent on ruling the city with little regard for the Michelsons. The Michelsons governed the streets for nearly two hundred years and were a formidable force. Led by Gabriel, the Michelsons protected the city, and it survived unscathed. The streets were free from the blood deals, which went unnoticed by the public eye, normally. However, this last battle proved more difficult to keep quiet. It had been an all-out war for control, drawing innocent people into the blood feud as the Badens raided the streets for warriors to fortify their numbers. The Michelsons retaliated through unusual ventures to keep the war silent.

The Children of Triune

For nearly five centuries, no child has drawn a first breath. The Creator sealed the womb of the world, and humanity learned to live without its future. But in the depths of Triune, another kind of genesis rose. From the Middle comes a child with power and lineage to rival the Creator. Not born, but woven. Not raised, but awakened. Bodies shaped by design. Souls coaxed from silence. Each one a crafted echo of what humanity once was. Those who survive their emergence ascend to the Upper. Those who falter are reclaimed by the dark. On the night meant to mark their passage into adulthood, five friends stumble upon a truth older than scripture and sharper than prophecy: The first humans were not what they were told. The gods were not who they claimed to be. And the Children of Triune were never meant to ask why. Some truths don't set you free, they come for you.

What are midichlorians in Star Wars?

4 Answers2026-04-27 16:11:04
Midichlorians are one of those Star Wars concepts that sparked endless debates among fans when 'The Phantom Menace' introduced them. They're microscopic, symbiotic organisms that live inside all living cells, and their presence determines a being's potential to wield the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn explains to young Anakin that the higher the midichlorian count, the stronger the Force connection—which honestly felt like a weirdly scientific take for a mystical energy field.

I remember my first reaction was mixed; part of me missed the mystery of the Force being purely spiritual, but another part found it fascinating that even Jedi biology had rules. George Lucas probably wanted to ground the Force in something measurable, especially for Anakin's 'Chosen One' prophecy. Still, some fans argue it demystifies the magic of the original trilogy. Personally, I’ve made peace with it—it’s just another layer to the lore, like kyber crystals or holocrons.

How do midichlorians connect to the Force?

Man, midichlorians—such a divisive topic among 'Star Wars' fans! I remember how 'The Phantom Menace' dropped this bombshell, basically saying they’re microscopic lifeforms that live inside all living cells and act as a bridge to the Force. Qui-Gon explains it like they’re the intermediaries whispering the will of the Force to their host. The higher your midichlorian count, the stronger your connection, which is why Anakin’s off-the-charts levels had everyone shook. But here’s the thing: some fans hate how this scientific-ish explanation kinda demystifies the Force, turning it from space magic into... space mitochondria. Personally, I’m torn—it’s neat world-building, but I miss the vagueness of the original trilogy’s 'energy field' vibe.

That said, later materials kinda walked it back or expanded it. The Clone Wars and other shows still treat the Force as mystical, with midichlorians just being one piece of the puzzle. Maybe they’re more like a symptom of Force sensitivity rather than the cause? Either way, I’ve made peace with it—George Lucas loves his lore tweaks, and this one at least gave us memes ('Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell' but make it Sith).

Are midichlorians canon in Star Wars lore?

Man, midichlorians—those microscopic power brokers from 'The Phantom Menace'—really split the fandom like a lightsaber through butter. George Lucas introduced them as a scientific explanation for Force sensitivity, but purists hated how they demystified the mystical. Here's the thing: they are canon, confirmed in films, TV shows like 'The Clone Wars,' and even referenced in recent books. But honestly? I prefer the mystery. The Force feels more magical when it's not reduced to cell counts. Maybe that's why later works treat them like background lore rather than forefront science.

Still, they reappeared in 'The Mandalorian' (Season 2, with Baby Yoda's blood test), proving Disney hasn't retconned them. It's funny—midichlorians became the 'taxation of trade routes' of Star Wars lore: technically important, but nobody wants to dwell on them. I'd rather debate lightsaber colors than blood samples any day.

Why did midichlorians cause fan controversy?

Man, the midichlorian debate takes me right back to 1999 when 'The Phantom Menace' dropped. At first, I was just hyped to see young Obi-Wan and that insane Darth Maul duel. But then Qui-Gon started waxing poetic about these microscopic lifeforms determining Force sensitivity, and suddenly the magic felt... quantifiable. Like, the Force had always been this mystical energy binding the galaxy, and now it’s reduced to blood tests? I remember fans arguing on forums that it undermined the spiritual 'chosen one' angle—Anakin’s high midichlorian count made him special by default, not destiny.

What’s wild is how this tiny detail split the fandom for decades. Some defended it as sci-fi worldbuilding, others saw it as George Lucas over-explaining something that didn’t need a scientific basis. Even now, mentioning midichlorians at a Star Wars convention gets mixed reactions—half eye rolls, half heated defenses about mitochondrial parallels. Personally, I’ve made peace with it, but I still miss the days when the Force felt more like space magic than a microbiome.

Can midichlorians be measured in non-Jedi?

You know, the whole midichlorian debate is one of those 'Star Wars' topics that splits the fanbase right down the middle. Some folks hate the idea because it feels like it demystifies the Force, while others think it adds a cool sci-fi twist. Personally, I love how it bridges biology and mysticism. Midichlorians are said to exist in all living cells, not just Jedi—they’re like microscopic Force-sensing organisms. Qui-Gon mentions in 'The Phantom Menace' that they’re present in everyone, but Jedi have higher counts. So yeah, non-Jedi absolutely have them, just in lower numbers. It’s like how everyone has some level of athletic potential, but only a few become Olympic athletes.

What’s fascinating is how this ties into the broader lore. The Sith, for example, clearly have high midichlorian counts too—Darth Vader’s was off the charts post-Mustafar. Even non-Force-sensitive characters like Han Solo or Padmé would have them, just at baseline levels. It makes you wonder if there’s a cutoff point where someone’s count is too low to ever manifest abilities. Maybe that’s why some species or individuals are never seen using the Force. The Expanded Legends material even explored 'Force-blind' cultures, which could hint at genetic or environmental factors affecting midichlorian density. Honestly, it’s a rabbit hole of speculation, and that’s what makes it fun.

Do Sith have higher midichlorian counts?

4 Answers2026-04-27 22:44:22
The whole midichlorian debate always makes me chuckle—it's like arguing whether a Ferrari has more horsepower than a Lamborghini when both can leave you in the dust. From what I've gathered in 'Star Wars' lore, Sith and Jedi both draw from the Force, but their paths diverge wildly. The Sith embrace passion, anger, and raw power, which could theoretically spike their midichlorian counts like a adrenaline rush. Anakin, after all, had off-the-charts midichlorians and later became Vader. But here's the twist: the Jedi Council obsessed over numbers, while the Sith? They'd probably laugh at the idea of quantifying darkness. Darth Sidious didn't become terrifying because of a blood test—he manipulated the Force itself. Maybe midichlorians are just a crude measurement, like judging a storm by its cloud cover.

That said, the Expanded Universe (now Legends) hinted that Sith alchemy and rituals could artificially boost their connection to the Force, which might trick midichlorian readings. But canon material stays vague, and I prefer it that way. The mystery of the Force is what makes it compelling. Reducing it to cell counts feels like explaining magic with a microscope. If I had to bet, though? A Sith Lord's midichlorians would surge during a rage-fueled rampage—but whether that's innate or just the dark side's volatility is anyone's guess.

What are midi-chlorians in Star Wars?

Midichlorians are one of those Star Wars concepts that really divided fans when they were introduced in 'The Phantom Menace.' They're microscopic organisms that live inside all living cells, and the higher your midichlorian count, the stronger your connection to the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn tests Anakin's blood to confirm his potential, which was a pretty controversial move—some fans felt it demystified the Force by making it seem like a scientific trait rather than something spiritual.

Personally, I don’t mind the idea. It adds a layer of biology to the mystical side of Star Wars, and it makes sense that the Jedi would have ways to measure Force sensitivity. It doesn’t take away from the mystery for me; if anything, it makes the Force feel even bigger, like there’s a whole unseen world of symbiosis between life and energy. I just wish they had explored it more in later films instead of letting it fade into the background.

How do midi-chlorians connect to the Force?

Man, midi-chlorians are one of those things in 'Star Wars' that fans either love or hate, but here's my take. They're microscopic lifeforms that live inside all living cells, and the higher your midi-chlorian count, the stronger your connection to the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn drops this bombshell in 'The Phantom Menace,' and it kinda recontextualized how we view Force sensitivity. Before that, the Force felt mystical—like something you either had or didn't. But midi-chlorians? They make it feel almost scientific, like a genetic predisposition.

Some fans argue this takes away from the mystery, but I think it adds depth. If the Force is an energy field created by all living things, then midi-chlorians could be the intermediaries—the translators between the cosmic Force and individual beings. It’s like they’re the antennae picking up the signal. Without them, you’re just not tuned in. That said, I totally get why some folks prefer the vagueness of the original trilogy. There’s a charm to not overexplaining magic.

Why did midi-chlorians divide Star Wars fans?

4 Answers2026-04-27 12:22:34
The midi-chlorian debate feels like peeling an onion—there are layers to why it split fans. For me, the magic of 'Star Wars' was always the Force as this mystical, almost spiritual energy field. It wasn't about science; it was about faith and intuition. Then 'The Phantom Menace' dropped midi-chlorians like a biology textbook, quantifying the unquantifiable. Suddenly, being a Jedi wasn’t about wisdom or training but about having enough microscopic critters in your blood. It undercut the 'anyone can be special' vibe of the original trilogy.

Some argue it added depth, but to me, it felt like overexplaining a fairy tale. The Force lost its mystery, and that’s a big deal in a universe where Yoda once said, 'Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.' The prequels had other divisive elements, but midi-chlorians became a lightning rod because they changed how we saw the Force’s soul.

Are midi-chlorians mentioned in the original trilogy?

4 Answers2026-04-27 21:22:35
Rewatching the original 'Star Wars' trilogy recently, I realized how different the Force felt before the prequels expanded its lore. The concept of midi-chlorians never comes up in 'A New Hope,' 'Empire Strikes Back,' or 'Return of the Jedi'—it’s all about intuition, spirituality, and training. Obi-Wan describes the Force as an energy field that binds everything together, not some microscopic organism in your blood. That mystical approach is part of why the OT resonates so deeply; it left room for wonder instead of scientific explanations.

Honestly, I prefer it that way. The idea of midi-chlorians always felt like over-explaining something that didn’t need it, like dissecting magic. The original films treated the Force like a philosophy or religion, which made Luke’s journey more relatable. When Yoda says, 'Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter,' that’s the heart of it—no lab tests required. The prequels had their merits, but I’m glad the OT kept things beautifully vague.
