The whole midichlorians only bothered me from one standpoint:
Star Wars is written as a fantasy, not a science fiction story...
Introducing midichlorians to explain the physical manifestation of the force is is more sci fi than fantasy and not only unnecessarily explains something the audience already accepts, but makes it now prone to having holes poked into it....
Not to mention it was put into the script, I'm sure, to show that Anakin is irrefutably, officially, potentially more powerful than even Yoda. But it is unnecessary because all it would take is for Yoda or another master to simply say so, and we'd believe them.
