| Feb 6, 2012 at 18:54 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | Not sure, but that seems the likeliest implication based that it detects Force-sensitives. A Force-sensitive may not necessarily be manipulating the Force at any given time (either too weak, too untrained, or backwards, trained enough not to bother projecting, ala Yoda/Mara Jade). So to reliably detecting a Force Sensitive, you need to detect midichlorians. | |
| Feb 6, 2012 at 18:36 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @DVK: are you sure it detects midichlorian count? I haven't read that. | |
| Feb 6, 2012 at 16:01 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | correct, it's a different device. But it serves the same PURPOSE (e.g. detect midichlorian count - as opopsed to Force) | |
| Feb 6, 2012 at 13:18 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @DVK: plus, I think what you are calling a Midichlorian counter was actually just a blood test. | |
| Feb 6, 2012 at 13:16 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @DVK: from Wookipedia: "A Force detector or Jedi reader was a device used by Emperor Palpatine's Jedi hunters to identify Force-sensitive individuals. It consisted of two sheet crystal paddles connected to a control pack powered by rare thaissen crystals found only on Mimban. When an individual was placed between the paddles, the device would produce a hologram of the person in question. If the individual was Force sensitive, a blue corona would surround the hologram." I think this is a different device to the Midichlorian counter. | |
