Are
[lots of religious stuff clipped]
I believe, in the case of the SW "universe" that the mediclorians (or
whatever they were called) "talk" to their symbiot humans, giving them a
"anything that promotes growth, peace, and harmony with everything else is
good, and anything that is destructive and causes death and strife is bad"
message in which to live by.
It is not a 'written' code, as in the Ten Commandments, but a moral code of
conduct. "What does your heart tell you is RIGHT?" Not legal. Not
culturally correct, but deep down you know what is right and wrong. No
matter the pretty words you put on it or what the situation demands.
