15. What determines how strong the force is in a person? Answer: In Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Qui Gon explains the concept of midi-chlorians to his apprentice, Anakin. Midi-chlorians are essentially microorganisms, and the more a person has the stronger the force in that person. Those with higher concentrations of midi-chlorians are often able to learn how to control the force, granted they are trained by a Jedi Master. The force is not restricted to the “good side” as young Anakin will soon prove. There is both a good side and a dark side to the force.
71. Did You Know: In every movie, a character(s) utters the words “I have a bad feeling about this.” Anakin mutters the phrase when he’s tied up in the arena in Attack of the Clones while Obi Wan repeats the phrase several times in The Phantom Menace. Princess Leia, Han Solo and C3PO all “have a bad feeling about this” in The Return of the Jedi while Leia’s the only one with a bad feeling in The Empire Strikes Back. And, the very first Star Wars characters to have a bad feeling in A New Hope were Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Watch for who it will be in the upcoming Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
