Star Wars 7 coming in 2015

I'm pretty sure the whole prophecy was bunk... The only ones who seemed to believe in it were Qui-gon and Obi-wan. There was never any indication that the Force was out of balance in the first place. The Senate was, with all the bickering. And the galaxy was, what with Palpatine pulling strings with the war and pretty much everything. But none of that seems to show an imbalance. The other side would be to look at it in terms of Order and Chaos. Which would fit the concepts of the Jedi and Sith... except in the end it was the Sith who were the ones who brought both Chaos and Order, through the formation of the Empire.

No no no no no, everyone gets that wrong. Midichlorians aren't what makes a person Force-sensitive, they're just attracted to Force-sensitive individuals. The more a person is in tune with the Force, the more fertile a breeding ground for these apparently-harmless Force-sensitive bacteria. Problem is, the Jedi of the Old Republic got it all switched around and assumed that Midichlorians were what gave the Jedi their powers, so they figured all they needed to do was find people with high MC counts, et voila!, perfect Jedi! But being especially Force-sensitive isn't actually guarantee that one will use the Force for good, so obviously more training is required. The Jedi failed to do that with Anakin and just trusted in dumb prophecy instead, which got them in a world of trouble, which is why a generation later Obi-Wan was wise enough to not mention blood parasites to Luke at all. The kid's got some talent? Better goddamn train him, then.
And with that little bit of headcanon, Episode I becomes slightly more bearable. But only slightly.

Now just edit-out Jar-Jar.
Gladstone:
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

I haven't found it myself, but there are rumors that "The Phantom Edit" is somewhere on the Internet.
