If the force comes from something that they can find and identify, then it can at the same time be condensed and harvested to make people who have the force more 'powerful' ect ect. This is only the start of most people's problems with it. The concept turns something thats mystical and follows mystical rules into something scientific that still follows mystical rules. Basically, it really hurts the belief of the force in people with common sense. Just because its mystical doesn't mean there needs to be a god or anything else. It can be its own thing, and have its own religion/beliefs (As the first trilogy highly implies).Look, the jedi had been around for like 10,000 years (at least). You're telling me it's a better story if they pretend that in that 10,000 years NO ONE had tried to study the force and found out any damn thing about it's origin? The only other option for Lucas was to have a God in his universe, and I'm betting that would have pissed off a lot more of you than something in your blood. In the first 3 episodes, it was no problem because all the Jedi and their culture was dead. But the prequels didn't have that cop out.
Sorry you think it ruined it for you, but it's no one's fault but your own that you can't marginalize the midichlorians in your own mind.
Sometimes its really bad to pull back the curtain. This is one of those times.
