When Lucas filmed Phantom Menace, he created a film he believed his kids
would love.  He wasn't thinking as an oversized kid with an obsession for
several genres of cinema.  He was thinking more as a protective father.

I hated the midichlorian explanation.  That burst the belief that follows
most systems of faith where all you need to become a force user is to give
yourself to the force.  Midichlorians made force using an exclusive club.

Regarding the Jedi being a sect of warrior monks, that did make sense. 
Attachments to property or people can cloud focus and decision making.Also it
makes me laugh at all the fans who had Jedi themed weddings.
