Immaculately conceived

Hi, I have 2 questions in the paragraph below.


1. "he was immaculately conceived?"


I'd like to know what 'conceived' means here. Does it mean .. he is in her mother's belly..?


2. What's this about midichlorians and the Force?


This sentence looks simple but I don't get it clearly. I'd understand if the question sentence is "What's this about?" or "Is this about midichlorians and the Force?". But the said sentence looks like a mixture of two sentences. Sorry that I cannot address the question clearly.



Thank you again!



George Lucas’ prequels https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/12/11/star-wars-prequel-trilogy-defense/933974001/ and, well, they kind of deserve it at times. Especially this one. What basically is a two-hour trailer for the rest of Anakin Skywalker’s story is kind of a mess — he was immaculately conceived? What’s this about midichlorians and the Force?

1. It refers to the "immaculate conception", a religious concept of the Christian church whereby Mary, mother of Jesus, was supposedly conceived free of original sin. org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception says: "The doctrine of the immaculate conception (Mary being conceived free from original sin) is not to be confused with the virginal conception of her son Jesus.

The reviewer's complaint is that there is not enough information about where he came from biologically. Who were his mother and father?
