THE MANDALORIAN sounds like the MIDICHLORIAN


Coincidence, much?

reply

No. The name "Mandalorian" comes from when The Empire Strikes Back was in development, years before Lucas dreamed up the concept of midichlorians.

reply

It was meant to be a joke, but seriously, most of the two words are the same, only MANDA and MIDICH are different.

reply

Lucas got the concept of midichlorians from scientology.

reply

Interesting.

Midis were extremely popular with the AdLib and SoundBlaster series of Audio Cards in the late 80's to early 90's, George definitely came up with the name well before The Phantom Menace.

Okay, now I feel old.

The Midichlorian. I like that. It could be about a bunch of alien organisms residing in cells enjoying life in the human body, but then are unexpectedly manipulated into creating life for Darth Sidious, the final episode could result in Shmi becoming pregnant with Anakin Skywalker.
