Anakin's thesis on the short tale that is "The tragedy of Darth Plageius the wise" is truly profound. To think that the Plageius was capable of influencing midichlorians through the use of other midichlorians provides an opportunity for study in the midichlorian-biological field.

[@diamondgirl7377]

well, that's the lynchpin of one of the mainstream schools of thought. But its not really meant to be take literally

[@buddermonger2000]

​@diamondgirl7377 Well no this is incredibly useful information. While possibly banned by Jedi scientists in future, this is a revelation that allows us to understand that the midi-chlorians are not all uniform in nature and that there may be conflicts between them. As students of the force classics, this opens a whole new field to study regarding them. Perhaps future force studies students can study them in greater depth and gain a greater understanding of the force. Communing with the current mystics in charge of the field to compare data.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

​​@@buddermonger2000 As I see it, most Midichlorians have something of a socially engineered false dichotomy that keeps them divided. The ideas of Midichlorian Karl Marx have lead to Midicommunism, while the ideas of, best as we can tell, an invisible hand, which is of particular note as the midichlorians are quite familiar with such manipulators, have lead to Midicapitalism. However, the Midicommunists and Midicapitalists both seem to have some sort of superweapon, that makes them hesitant to directly oppose eachother. Instead, these midichlorians control other midichlorians to battle in their stead in a midicold war; these very forces are theorized to be the source of Darth Plagueius the Wise's power.

[@k0valus585]

I myself am a midichlorian biologist. I've overseen some of the experiments studying the activity between midichlorians (sponsored by the Jedi Temple) and have discovered that, through careful manipulation of midichlorians, you can essentially bring vitality back to damaged tissues of various species throughout the galaxy. Of course, due to the First Law of Thermodynamics, matter cannot be created or destroyed. This means that in order to perform this advanced technique, one must transfer one's own matter to the recipient. There, the midichlorians within the receiver reconfigure this energy and matter, and use it to rebuild damaged structures at a heightened rate. Many have thought in the past that this was inherently used by Sith, but later study revealed that the interactions between midichlorians seen were balanced between the donor and the recipient, meaning that both the cost for one and the gain for the other cancelled. The Jedi Council is right now approving this technique for use among Jedi Masters, and I hope to receive a scientific grant in the near future.
