Mitochondria, right? (I believe I've got the spelling right.
)
Dunno, but it remains true for me that there isn't much in the way of an intellectually mature rationale for all the stuff one finds in SW. Just formidable-looking words like 'mitochondria' won't work for me. Perhaps if you had, say, some kind of well-worked-out
occult system, perhaps based on Hermeticism or the Kaballah (rather than some Oriental tradition you don't know much about, as witness what dear uncle Lucas did), which really enables you to manipulate the forces of nature while also obviously having a religious bearing to it, that would help for me. But SW just doesn't give me that kind of
feel, that kind of
impression. Those spaceships and robots and power reactors etc etc simply don't look like they're the product of some occult or at least semi-occult paradigm. They look like the product of cold, mechanistic science. Where's the religion in it?
