It's unclear but probably yes midichlorians. To a Force user it manifests as "they seem strong with the Force" though, which means midichlorians could be a false measure

Midichlorians are just so incredibly unnecessary. Like, the Jedi are already shown to be intensively trained from childhood. Why did they ever feel the need to have more explanation than that?

Probably bc Lucas was flirting with the Sith manipulation thing from the start (contrary to a viral thread I RTed earlier, the canon status of that remains ambiguous intentionally)

Weren't the midichlorians first introduced in one of the EU novels?

One of the big surprises when George Lucas' notes for his sequel trilogy leaked is that the midichlorians really weren't just a throwaway line to make things more science fictiony They were his whole big plan for his grand finale, to reveal all life is one big organism

That much I actually do remember him saying in an old interview That the trilogies were meant to shrink in scope Eps I-III were meant to be about politics and economics and whole societies, Eps IV-VI about individual struggle between heroes and villains, VII-IX were inner space

It turns out what he meant by the final trilogy looking inward and taking place on a spiritual level was very literal The fate of the entire universe rests on an internal dream-quest of the mind of Luke Skywalker

(Which, since this universe was created with Luke Skywalker as its main character, is really the same thing as it being a War in Heaven outside of all reality As above so below, etc)
