Anakin Skywalker has an exceptionally high midi-chlorian count, recorded as over 20,000 per cell. This is the highest known count in the Star Wars universe, surpassing even Jedi Master Yoda and Emperor Palpatine, whose counts are estimated around 17,700 and 20,500 respectively
. Some sources speculate Anakin's count could be as high as 27,000, or even up to 40,000 according to fan conjecture, but the generally accepted canonical figure is over 20,000
. This extraordinarily high midi-chlorian count is why Anakin was believed to be the Chosen One, conceived through the will of the midi-chlorians themselves, marking him as uniquely powerful in the Force
. For context, typical Force-sensitive individuals have counts around 4,000-5,000, making Anakin's count several times greater than average
. In summary, Anakin Skywalker's midi-chlorian count is over 20,000 per cell, with some sources citing a figure around 27,000, making him the most Force- sensitive individual known in Star Wars lore.
