Midichlorian
In the Star Wars universe, Midichlorian's are chemical compounds found within every living cell that forms the basis between the connection life and the Force. Without midichlorians, life would be impossible. According to Star Wars lore, the amount of midichlorians in a life from represents it's ability to understand, comprehend, and manipulate the Force.
According to Qui-Gon Jinn, in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Anakin Skywalker had the highest midichlorian count in any life form ever detected. That count was 20,000 per cell. This number was even higher than Yoda's.
However, one can only hypothesize how many midichlorians Anakin's son, Luke had.

midichlorification
A stupid/convoluted/pointless concept that retroactively ruins or disrupts great movies/books in a future installment; a midichlorification is often a hamfisted attempt by writers to make an otherwise incompatible narrative "make sense" within the established norms of the universe, or just because they feel like doing it. Derived from "midichlorians", the microscopic life forms that are revealed to be the source of the "Force" in the Star Wars universe 20 years after the release of the original films.
Ex. 1: The introduction of midichlorians in the Star Wars prequels is a midichlorification in the Star Wars universe because it replaced the previous assumption (that the Force was an abstract thing that didn't really need any further explanation because understanding it is not relevant to the plot) with a confusing scientific explanation that didn't enhance the story in any way.
Ex. 2: Harry's death and subsequent resurrection in the Kingsman franchise is a midichlorification because it nullifies a ton of emotion and character development from the first movie, as well as removing the stakes from all future fights (since the audience knows the characters can just be revived if they die).

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
