Well, to be fair, the midichlorian thing isn't necessarily contrary to the whole concept of the Force. Didn't he say in Phanton Menace that the midichlorians help to direct the Force, and that Jedi simply have a higher midichlorian count than normal? I don't think he meant that the midichlorians are the Force, just that they help people to use the Force.
