I think the midichlorians still do have a 'mysterious' quality to them.
Remember in Episode I when Qui-Gon asked Shmi about Anakin's father, and she
replied "There was no father...I carried him..." etc. Which means either the

Lucas didn't want to have another character in which he would have to worry
about, so he used the midichlorians as a surrogate parent. Thats my opinion
anyway.
