Referring to the SD Classic “[Are there five kinds of twins?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2532/does-the-bible-tell-people-to-handle-snakes-plus)” (second half) and the [linked image](http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/PLACHTML/PLAC101.html) we see that the diamnionic dichorionic twins have this middle chorion separating them. So, if perhaps some person with, lets say, a friend or a teacher, asked a question and the answer, given by a cool guy but with little practical medical knowledge, was: > [@](#): > > Midi-chlorians were intelligent microscopic life forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. When present in sufficient numbers, they could allow their host to detect the pervasive energy field known as the Force. Maybe he really said middle chorions between the cells of twins and meant that Anakin would just have a family tendency toward having twins with blonde hair and a psychic bond? [sub]_Hey! Lighten up! I’m just trying to explain away that mess!_[/sub] Or, maybe he said “middle Corleone”…? And went on to make him an offer he couldn’t refuse… 😃 ---
