So I read through the entirety of this thread, hoping that someone would point out the blatantly obvious. Mitochondria are organelles that live (yes live, they have their own completely separate DNA from the host cell and many MANY geneticists postulate that Mitochondria used to be an independent organism that formed a symbiotic relationship with the first single celled organisms in order to create the first oxygen processing life forms) inside every cell in your body. They are the only reason you are able to use Oxygen to live. They are the power house of the living cell (non-plant cells... plants have chloroplasts in their place, to process sunlight instead of oxygen.) Whatever religious or philosophical comparisons you wish to draw aside, Lucas CLEARLY got the idea of blood born organisms present in every living thing from the real life blood born organism that are as old as the first sparks of life on this planet - Mitochondria.
