Join Scotty Jayro for an insightful lecture on Midichlorians, the microscopic entities that connect all living things to the Force in Star Wars. This 60-minute presentation will explore how George Lucas blended science, mythology, and philosophy to create this essential yet debated concept. Scotty will reveal how Midichlorians serve as a unifying theme throughout the saga, from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker. He will illustrate interconnectedness using examples like the Naboo and Gungans and delve into real biological science. Additionally, he will discuss the biological implications of the Aniseya Twins from The Acolyte and their unique connection to Midichlorians. Inspired by mythologist Joseph Campbell, Scotty will highlight how Midichlorians represent universal themes of life, death, and unseen forces while discussing Anakin Skywalker’s connection to the Force and the Sith’s manipulation of Midichlorians. Written Japanese translations will be provided.
