Absolutely. In the "real" SW movies, the only way you could tell if a guy
was "strong in the Force" was to follow him in a starfighter and say, "the
Force is strong with this one," or put a bucket over his head and throw
stuff at him.
In the prequels midichlorians (or whatever) took all the fun out of that.
They took all the fun out of everything, actually, turning the Jedi into a
bunch of nincompoops who deserved what they got, and so what?
"Bad feeling about this have I got."
"Let's do it anyway."
"Okay."
